I have the 6.5" S&W Model 610 with UltraDot, reflex sight. This revolver shoots very well and I wouldn't hesitate to use it hunting. I've written reviews on the Ruger 10mm revolver and didn't like it nearly as much as the S&W. It is a large, heavy gun compared to the 610.

Ironically, I was in the woods this morning with the TRP Operator but didn't see anything to shoot.
