I have 2 - a 4", my range gun with .40S&W ammo, and as 3" collector's item. I'm thinking about selling the 3"... do you fellers think I can get what I have in it, $600 + ?
The 3"ers are popular right now. depending on condition and whether it has the box and access. you should be in the $500-$600 range used. I have seen them go for over $600 also.
Good luck Pete. i wish I had the mony to take it off your hands.

No problem - take it now, pay me later... that's what friends are for. This gun shows some holster wear at end of the barrel, otherwise is in excellent condition... an ideal project gun to do as "Matzz" did with his 65LS, "sand"off the dull finish and make it look like brushed or bright stainless.
Pete, daddy told me never take anything from a friend you can't pay for or he won't be a friend for long. You are prince old friend but after my house was flooded last year and insurance didn't cover it I sold 3/4s of my collection. The repairs came first, guns can be bought again in the future. Thanks but I would rather see you get paid up front. Al

Sorry to hear about your house, and having to sell part of your collection, my friend... but my pappy also said, "friends in need are friends indeed". You just let me know if you decide to take me up on my offer.
And to top that I just left my car at the dealership for what was supposed to be minor repair work. They just called 5 minutes ago, $400. I just can't catch a break. Oh well, I'm still here, my wifes still here, the dogs stil here and thats whats important.

Not to worry - how's that saying goes: "over every clout there is sunshine"... or something like that. Who knows, maybe you hit the big one, in the lottery. Good luck, my friend.
Pete, Just in case I can scrape up some greenbacks, how much do you want for the 3" 610. And does it have a fluted cylinder or not? Al

Hi, Al - I'd be asking $600 + shipping, is not flutted. Ser.# CCUxxxx, Product Code 148120, Special Production Run (300 I believe). Shows some wear at end of barrel, otherwise in excellent condition. The ideal project gun to remove the dull finish and make it brushed or polish stainless. http://www.tullatalk.us/oldfella/610-2.jpg
Pete, Let me see what I can do. I sold my 624 to pay for the car repair. Please do not hold it for me because I am not sure yet. I would love to have it but I just to see whats what with finances. If you sell it first, so be it and I'll be glad for you.

oldfella-- I have a few. One 3" one, but it isn't a collectors item. Had it out just the other day. Mine came to me with night sites, box and all. I just haven't spent enpough time with it. 7 yards is no problem, but I am still all over th 9" plate at 15 & 25 Yards. I have 2 5" ones for those distances any way. Also a 6 1/2" first edition, and a late one that is being held for conversion to 10MM MAG, when time allows.
