The overall weight of the Model 610 comes in at 40.2 ounces and its overall length is 9.6 inches. It also includes a partridge-style front sight with a gold bead insert and a black adjustable rear sight for improved sight acquisition. Contributing to its visual appeal, the new Model 610 Mountain Gun boasts a high-grade walnut Bear Hug grip, designed by Tyler Gun Works.

The second new release, the Model 617 Mountain Gun, is chambered in 22LR and has a 10-round capacity. It is built on a medium-sized K-frame and weighs 36.1 ounces, with an overall length of 9.46 inches.
