The S&W 10xx Series

[The_Shadow]

The 5" Models


The 4.25" Models


There are some like them but these are mine...

Smith & Wesson 10mm pistols
1006 - 26,979 units produced 1990-93
1076 - 13,805 units produced 1990-93
1066 - 5,067 units produced 1990-92
1026 - 3,135 units produced 1990-91
1086 - 1,660 units produced 1990-92
1046 - 151 units produced 1991 (only)

1006- 5" barrel, slide mounted safety/decocker traditional double action
1026- 5" barrel, frame mounted decocker traditional double action
1046- 5" barrel double action only
1066- 4.25" barrel, slide mounted safety/decocker traditional double action
1076- 4.25" barrel, frame mounted decocker traditional double action
1086- 4.25" barrel double action only

S&W 1006- 5.00" barrel, slide mounted safety/decocker traditional double action
S&W 1066- 4.25" barrel, slide mounted safety/decocker traditional double action
The hammer on the 1006 has the full tang, the 1066 is bobbed.
The 1006 and 1066 do have the slide mounted decocker/safety on both sides of the slide.  Safety/Decocker if placed in safe mode allows the hammer to be dropped safely to the blocking bar so it can not hit the firing pin.  With the Safety/Decocker in fire mode, pulling the trigger will cock and fire the pistol.  The pistol can be carried with the Safety/Decocker in the fire position with the hammer un-cocked and the trigger will cock the hammer and fire the pistol Double Action. After the gun is fired, it is fully recocked and the gun is fired single action till empty or decocked.  You can carry the pistol cocked with the Safety/Decocker in fire position, then the "ONLY SAFETY IS THE TRIGGER" Single Action!  Some models can be fired without the magazine present if the magazine disconnect is removed.

NOTE for comparison
S&W 1026- 5.00" barrel, frame mounted decocker traditional double action
S&W 1076- 4.25" barrel, frame mounted decocker traditional double action
These can be decocked by pushing down on the frame mounted decocking lever, the hammer is dropped to a half or partially cocked position and pulling the trigger will cock and fire the pistol.  After the gun is fired it is fully recocked and the gun is fired single action till empty or decocked.  The hammer when dry fired will be all the way down but pulling the trigger will cock and fire the gun.  Some models can be fired without the magazine present if the magazine disconnect is removed.  FBI models worked this way..

S&W 1046- 5.00" barrel double action only,
S&W 1086- 4.25" barrel double action only, this pistol has to be partially cocked to be able to double action. By that I mean when you rack the slide to chamber a round the hammer remains partially cocked, there is NO DECOCKING FEATURE! Also the 1086 if you have a failure to fire you can not cock the hammer by squeezing the trigger a second time to fire.  No Second Strike Capability. You would have to eject the round or move the slide rearward some to re-set the action to have the trigger cock the double action hammer again.  Some models can be fired without the magazine present if the magazine disconnect is removed. Notice the tang looks smaller because the slide is longer in the rear, to cover the cocked hammer therefore the tang/beaver tail of the 1046/1086 looks shorter than the 1006/1066, 1026/1076.

Jeez.  I mean, I knew you were a fan of 10XX guns, but wow, seeing them all lined up really makes an impact.

I have been keeping my eyes open for a 1066 or 1076 at the right price to join the rotation as a carry weapon.  Seeing them here just whets the appetite.

My first was a 1006. Sold it when I went through my divorce 10 years ago when the judge was considering making us split the gun collection. Sold it to a friend I was in the navy with. I told him I would buy it back after the divorce. He ended up pawning it and I never got it back.

[The_Shadow]

Grim Reaper Thanks for your service and sorry about the 1006...
sqlbullet, I see many on GB but the pricing has been on the higher end but still usually lower than the 1911 10mm's.

The last one I purchased was a 2nd S&W1086 that one of the 10mmTalk members decided to sell, this was great because the one in the picture above has the "BLACK MIM" trigger and hammer, so I bought his because hais has the stainless steel trigger and hammer.  Here is the picture of it...


I need to update my pictures of the family members...

Congrats! Nice collection. Man, I've been looking for a 1066 my self. Great CCW pistol.

I need to spend more time on Gunbroker.  The wife has two girls trips this year, so that ought to justify a little exta spending on my hobby.  Especially since lead sales usually fund her girls trips!

[sqlbullet]

So, Shadow

Your thoughts on 1066/1076/1086.  Which do you prefer.  I am probably most naturally inclined to the 1066 with a familiar, if backwards, thumb safety.  Not a big fan of DA only, but might be swayed.  I have read the 1076 decocker is not as durable, but have no idea how valid this is.

What would you suggest?

[BCDWYO]

VERY impressive collection Shadow.  My only 3rd gen Smith is a 1076 which I am very fond of...very cool to have the complete set though!  For serious carry I'm a little leary about the slide mounted safety on the 3rd gen Smiths for me just because I'm concerned it might interfere with my muscle memory/training for a 1911 safety and could be a problem in a stressful situation.  (up for fire vs down for fire).  That wouldn't prevent me from owning one, I'd just have to think/train a bit before I carried it!

[Intercooler]

I still want one. Light use and under 800 may get my wallet open.

[sqlbullet]

there was one on gun broker just a day or two ago for $750 that only had a few rounds through it. 

the owner had polished the fun to bright stainless though.

I guess I can show my small 10mm collection, for now, as my first post here. I have a 1066 and a 1076 (Not an FBI issue).
They are both great guns, but the 1066 is my cold weather carry pistol.

[mrbentley]

Well my 1st post has my new to me 1086 to showcase. Someday when I grow up I can be like the Shadow too!
No seriously I just got this last week I am hooked. It's the only DAO I own. Next up is a 1006 or a 1026.

I have been looking for one local and not priced like it was gold for a couple of years, no luck so far.

Im with you. I want a 1006 bad but in Kalifornia they are few and far between

This will make you cry, it does me. Before I owned my first 10MM, and looking desperately for a G20, back about five or so years ago. It was my first OGCA meeting, and talking to an elderly gentleman from northern Ohio, about my desires for a G20, who by the way months later, is who sold me, my first G20, a 1.5 Gen, but that's another tale, tried to sell me a 1006. Knowing little about the "TEN", and nothing about the S&W line, looked at it, and thought, wow, that's a big, heavy, gun!


     It was used, but pristine. He even said, he knew the original owner, and believed, it was unfired. Are you ready to cry?  He said, he had the box, but, only one magazine. I could have it for $425, and, I passed!   Somebody, please kick me, because my legs are cramping from kicking myself. Told you, you'd cry!
