Thanks for your reply to my post Yankee2500, I appreciate it! Also, thanks for your pics, very nice gun! Converting it over to accept 10mm ammo is something I might consider, I don't know yet. I wash looking at the Performance Center guns when I ran across the 4006 pistol, and the fact that I have about 750rounds of .40 caliber ammo and just my Model 610'story shoot it with was also a factor. I love the looks of the 4006, and hoping it will be a good CC gun.

 ;)Well, I have been looking at a S&W 1066 lately, but ended up just buying a really nice Performance Center 4006 .40 S&W instead. This gun was too nice to pass up, as Performance Center guns really appeal to me.I wanted a good conceal carry gun, and with this certain one having a rare 3 1/2" barrel, and the fact that I can also use .40 caliber ammo in my Model 610's, I decided to go this route. I already own the Glock 29, this will give me some better options. Any thoughts on my decision? The gun I bought looks almost mint condition, and I'm looking forward to getting it. I will add pics as soon as I get it. But I would like everyone's input on this purchase. These are rare guns, so should hold their value well. Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it! If I buy the 1066, I will need a different style of carry holster for it. Thanks for enlightening me on the weight of the 1066. The only S&W semi-auto that I have ever owned was the M&P .45 auto, and it shot great, but like most of my .45 auto's, its already sold. Not only the weight of it, I am also wondering how the 1066 shoots and functions. It looks like a nice gun. It is Smith & Wesson's smallest 10mm isn't it?

  Welcome to the best 10mm forum out there! Congrats on your new G20, you will love it! Also, you made the right choice to shoot his bow with your 5 year old. That Glock will always be there (if you want it to), but that boy will grow up and be gone TOO SOON! Trust me, I know, mine is 30 years old now! I carried him in the turkey woods when he was 4 years old, and he has been hooked on hunting (and staying out of trouble) ever since. He just killed a big gobbler today, opening day of turkey season here in Missouri. I have a G20 too, and I installed a Ghost trigger (3.5lb) and a 6" Stormlake stainless barrel in it, and man oh man, this baby is a shooter! You may not ever need to add anything extra to your Glock, but being 59 years old and handicapped, I need all of the help I can get! LOL Good luck Brian, and welcome!

Welcome Ric, to one of the best forums out there for 10mm firearms I think! I haven't been a member too long myself, but have learned allot from these guys. I shoot and hunt with the S&W 610's, and own the two Glocks  as well, and really enjoy this  caliber. Good luck to you and welcome!

I own several 10mm's now, 2-610's, & both the Glock's, the 20 & 29, and absolutely love the caliber inside and out. But, I am wanting a good conceal carry 10mm, that might be lighter than my Glock 29, and I have a chance to buy a really nice S&W 1066, and want to know if this would be a good choice or not.  I hunt with the 10mm, and target shoot quite often, but I also have had a conceal carry license for 5 years, and want to carry a 10mm also, instead of my S&W .38 special, or my Para Slim Hawg .45auto. I am selling off all of my 45 auto guns and ammo, etc... now, as a 10mm is far superior to the 45acp round, as far as I'm concerned. I killed a 600lb wild boar last winter with one of my S&W 610's, and had the thrill of my life so far! Any advice or help that anyone can give me will be much appreciated! Thank you in advance to all of my fellow 10MM friends out there.

I killed a 600lb hog with Doubletap Nosler 150gr JHP's. Location is everything.

I shot a 600lb 6 1/2ft long wild boar (Hogzilla) in Arkansas with my S&W Model 610 10mm with a 6 1/2" barrel at 30 yards in Dec. 2013. I shot him with Doubletap 150gr Nosler JHP (I was expecting a 150lb hog that day, not this monster). It took 4 shots to kill him, the first shot I broke his right shoulder, second shot inside his right shoulder, third shot through his ribs, and fourth shot hind leg.(I did shoot once and miss) The last 3 shots were running! It was the biggest thrill I have ever had, and I'm 59!

  Thank you 4949Shooter for the website and info on the Ted Nugent ammo. I just ordered 200 rounds of the hunting round, so I guess J&G Sales owes you a commission, right? ;

I am sorry Sean, you are going to Tennessee hog hunting, not Pennsylvania. Please let me know how you do, and I wish you the very buddy! Be safe, and shoot straight!

Thank you to everyone for your comments. I love this gun, and will have it zeroed in before my hog hunt in December. It does have the original factory sights, fixed front and adjustable rear . I am new to this site, so I am not sure how to add pictures yet, but I will investigate it. If anyone wants to see a 7" AMT Javelina 10mm that looks identical to mine, they had one on Gunbroker the other day, but I just checked and it has sold. But the Gunbroker item # is 364734124, and they will leave the pictures on for up to 30 days I think after the item sells. Sean, thanks for the offer of the cast bullets, but I am not set up yet to reload. I will be interested to hear how you do on your hog hunt in Pennsylvania though. I do have allot of once fired 10mm brass, so reloading is in my near future. As far as my AMT Javelina goes, there were only a couple hundred of these guns made, according to the listing on Gunbroker, so finding someone out there that has much experience to share with me may be remote. So, as soon as I shoot it and compare it with my Colt Delta Elite and my two 10mm Glocks, I will share the info with you. I will also be interested to find out how they compare, not only in groups but in ballistics. Only the best to my 10mm friends!

I  have an AMT JAVELINA HUNTER MODEL 10mm Longslide, that has a 7" barrel. I have a hog hunt scheduled in Arkansas, and I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with this same gun, either hunting or target practice. I am an amputee, and don't get out  to shoot as much as I want to. I bought this gun a few months ago, and it has functioned great so far, but I owned an AMT .22 magnum a few years ago and it had a jamming problem, so I sold it. I also own a Glock 20 and 29, as well as a Colt Delta Elite that I just bought as well, so I have several other options if I need to go with one of them. I love the 10mm round, and really look forward to killing something with it. I killed a big doe with my Colt King Cobra a few years ago, so I have hunted with a pistol before. I have always owned and shot a 1911 most of my life, which is why I bought the Colt Delta Elite recently. I realize that I need to shoot them all and use the one that shoots the best, but I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the AMT Javelina 10mm with a 7" barrel? They only made this gun from 1991 to 1992. Thank you for any experiences or information that anyone can give me.

Well, there is another possibility for you 10mm hunters. I have an AMT 1911 Stainless Javelina Hunting Model 10mm with a 7" barrel Longslide, that was made for those long shots. Has anyone on here had any experience (positive or negative) with this AMT Javelina? I just bought it a couple of months ago, right after I had previously bought the Glock 29sf & the Glock 20. And just last week, I bought the Colt Desert Elite 1911 10mm, and love the way it feels and points. Now, I have yet to take them out to a good shooting range and make comparisons between all of them, but I have shot them out back and they all are fantastic shooters. I will very soon, if not this week test them at long range (from 50-100yards), with the same ammo and see how they compare. When I do, I will post everything here for everyone to see. I just shot my Colt Delta Elite last weekend at an old dead tree (while I was dove hunting, waiting for the doves to start flying) about 50 yards away, and nailed it first shot dead center, and was pleased with that. But, this AMT Longslide Javelina is a pleasure to shoot as well, and functions remarkably. And for all of you Glock 20 and 29 owners, I don't need to tell you how well they shoot and function. Awesome guns to say the least! I have been a pretty much strictly a 1911 45acp shooter my whole life, but I have to say, at 58 years old now, the 10mm is now my gun of choice, and all of you 10mm people understand this I am sure! I have an Arkansas Razorback hunting trip planned for December, so after I test all 4 guns extensively this fall, the best gun and ammo will accompany me to take down a hog, in the beautiful hills of Arkansas!
