It has seen beaucoup of them.

The 1076 was a hell of a gun, I've had one myself; wish I still did. The only drawback is the weight. S&W built their 10mm's to last and be brute strong. One of the few 10mm's that were actually engineered to be a 10mm.

If you're a 1076 man, you'll be interested to know that mine had the CZ75 style grip; those are rare.


I know exactly which grips you are talking about. Mrs. Tide's old duty gun has the straight backstrap. Mine and the extra I bought for my Grandfather, who then passed it on to Tide Jr, both have the CZ-75 grips you speak of. [Linked Image]
