S&W 986 or 929? or a 10mm/40 S&W 610?

The 986 at least keeps the 7 chambers. The 610 goes to N frame and only has 6.

Normashooting has had $26 38special for a while. However, 357 has never been great for pricing through this all.

I too have been thinking this route. The only thing keeping me from a 986 and/or 610 is the point of a revolver of that size is range and fun. Is a 9mm or even 10mm as fun as 357? no.

At the cost of these, you do make up the price fast with 9mm. BUT you're into high quality autos at the 986/929/610.
