Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Bren Ten Again?

I can’t believe that you stuck a picture of an ugly azzed Glock in this thread!

It ain't very purdy, that's for sure...

They tough, kinda like an AK-47.

A bit crude but they do go bang when you pull the trigger...

This one had a trigger job by my FFL, who is a Glock trained armorer, retired SWAT sniper.

I grew up with K frame S&W's, 1911's. This trigger is a whole different animal and I'm trying to master it.

Another bud, a retired LEO range officer, said to not put my finger pad on the trigger like with the guns mentioned, but to position the trigger in the first joint of the trigger finger. New technique for me, but it seems to work.

Naw, I wouldn't enter it in a beauty contest...

I would gladly enter my Glocks in a beauty contest. It looks like what it was made for; it looks like it was made to take names and kick Aztecs.

Only Aztecs?

LOL

I located an unfired 10mm Match Elite with some extras and it's headed my way! They are hard to find. Can't wait to shoot it. I'm into it for about $100 less than what I sold my Delta Elite for.

Now that one is purdy for sure.

I like it.

Not sure how much it weighs. It may kick a bit.

I like the CZ-75 design, had a tricked out EAA Witness Tanfoglio 9mm comp gun that my son ended up with. Nice gun.

When Dornaus and Dixon first offered the 10mm Bren Ten, I sent in my deposit. The company folded before I got my gun, lost my deposit.

The newer Italian CZ-75 9mm clones are good guns, the 10mm's are probably good, just never handled one.

They're all steel; pretty beefy. The only negative I've heard--and it's not much of one--is that the factory recoil springs are a bit wimpy. Going up a few pounds with a Wolff spring seems to be the prevailing idea.

I always thought that was what the Bren 10 should have been. Very nice sir.

At least Sonny Crockett knew enough to abandon the Bren Ten for a Smith 645.

Well, he kept dropping the magazines in Miami harbor, so there is that!

Those are some high-dollar mags.

I wonder how many single shot Bren Ten's are still out there? Does the CZ or Tanfoglio magazine fit, or be made to fit?

Warner has said he's got the magazines being made by Megyar, or whoever, that big outfit that makes magazines for damnedneareveryone. That's a bit far out right now, though, he's not ready for them yet. The CZ or Tanfoglio magazines will not fit, as far as I know. The FB page has all the information I have, that's where I got my info, after all.

As far as single-shot Bren Tens, there's a heckuva lot of them out there, and I don't think the new magazines will fit those older guns. For awhile around here, you could almost always find a D&D pistol, but there was that big empty hole in the butt that prevented a lot of sales.

The EAA Witness 10mm is pretty darn good - anybody have a picture of a nice Bren Ten?

I just ordered 6 Mec-Gar 14-rd mags for the 10mm Witness at $25 apiece. And they will actually work!

Very nice looking pistol 257. A fellow had a 10mm Tangfolio at the range a while back and allowed me to shoot it a few times. Wasn't too bad at all but, he didn't have the old Norma ammo. Same pistol?

I just recently picked up a Tanfoglio Witness Hunter 10mm from a member here. Seems to be a nicely put together pistol. 175gr lead at 1100-1150 fps is soft shooting. 180 JHP at 1250 have some bark but this gun (it does have some heft to it) handles them easily. I need to drag out the Kimber 1911 for a side by side but I'd say at this point the 10mm is more manageable with stout loads. Something to be said for 14 +1 capacity with the 10mm Auto round.

Will this be the 3rd go-round of the Advance Deposit Scam...?

Back in the day, the Bren 10 was the only pistol so chambered, so it had a lot of interest among those who were sold on the idea that the 10 was the solution to every non-existent problem i the known universe.

Man...if I only had a 10.

Then Colt came out with the Delta, Smith came out with the 40.

I really enjoyed the geniuses at the FBI adopting the round agency wide only to drop it a year later...the worlds greatest novelists would never have dared to make that up.

I can just imagine all the pinheads bitching about it...great stuff.

Time has not been the friend of the Bren Ten...technology marches on.
