The NEW S&W 610 has been welcomed with open arms by shooters, and I'm getting new owners asking to be included here all the time, and would you look at the Witness numbers???

I looked at the increasing numbers above, and one thing sticks out (aside the fact that there were VERY many unsuccessful S&W models) ALL the guns with around 20 or less were commercial failures. That is NOT by any stretch statistical analysis, but trends from such a widely distributed source of data are rarely misleading.

After putting up the 10 on duty pages (none of these duty guns are included here) I see that the three brands getting heaviest use are S&W, Glock, and Colt... no surprises there.

10mm Serial Number listing

If you'd like to contribute to this potential data base, please send me your firearm serial number (with the last 1 or 2 digits X'd out) and if you bought the gun NEW while it was still being made (new and old new stock are NOT the same) please provide the year it was purchased. Thanks

I'd like to take an opportunity to sincerely thank government, and
Law Enforcement Agencies for allowing these fine handguns into
personal collections by not destroying them. I hope someday
SOMEONE will look into the millions of similar transfers to
see how unlikely it is for these handguns to fall into a
"Life of crime"

Note to collectors
