Bren Ten Special Forces

[romeolima]

Hello guys,

I was surfing the web and discovered this forum so, being the 10 mm fan I am, I created my account.
I thought you guys might like to see one of the jewels of my collection, my mint condition Bren Ten Special Forces:







It came with a few boxes of this awesome Norma ammo, hollow point 170 gr. that according to the factory box, it should fly at 1300 fps, I haven't
timed them yet. It also included some 200 rounds of FMJ PMC Korean ammo, which of course I shot them all already.



I paid some $3,000 for it, besides the ammo, it came with 3 original mags, which is pretty cool because I understand that mags where a huge pain in the butt for the good old Dornaus & Dixon guys, so bad they went broke because of a bad supply of these mags.

Here it is, with its 10 mm sibling, the nice Glock 20, 4th gen.


I understand that this one should be a museum piece or something, but I can't resist shooting a few rounds with it, from time to time...


Hope you like the pics, I'm so proud of my BT, I thought I should share this, not that I want to bragg about it... (well, maybe a little!)

Regards,

Rod

Nice share.  Extremely glad that you respect it enough to take it out and let it shake off cobwebs.

But, I gotta ask:  Are you shooting in the desert?  And, is that a boat over your right shoulder?

[romeolima]

Well Dred, yes. Here the coast is desertic, so it is a desert with the ocean next to it. The boat belongs to the owner of the range, in the winter he parks the boat here.

Regards,

Rod

Very nice! Has anyone ever added the Bren Ten pistols to the list of 10's here? Slide weight, barrel, etc....? It would be neat to document this piece and a Bren Ten.

Hello Rod and welcome to the forum!  Very nice Bren Ten Special Forces Dark, I have collected several picture files of the Bren Tens and I just added yours.  I too own a Bren mine is the Standard Model which I received on Don Johnson's 63rd Birthday so that was cool in and of itself.  On this date 63 years ago Donnie Wayne "Don" Johnson (born December 15, 1949)



Be sure to look at the Norma Ammo documentations

Does the spec list for 10mm pistols still exist?  I thought it was a sticky somewhere?

[romeolima]

Blaster, it shoots like the fine pistol it is, well balanced, flawless and it doesn't kick as the old FBI legend used to say, I can't understand why it was replaced by the 40 S&W. Actually the BT was my first 10 mm (I got the Glock 20 a few years later), so the first time I took it to the range, I was expecting a big recoil, but none of that... 357 Magnums and above, are way more agressive to shoot that the 10 mm.

Hey Shadow, NICE..... love the duo-tone, is it factory original? Do you shoot it?

Don't know that spec list, but if I can help in anyway, let me know.

Bye guys!

Rod

Yes Rod, mine is Factory original...I also have a set of wood grips for it as well.  It is a shooter and was said to be magnafluxed before I got it!

About the specs...

I about lost it on the pocket model. I need one., Thats got pretty attractive specs even by todays standards

To my knowledge, none were ever made.

Still doesnt mean I dont need one lol. If that got brought back, id buy two.  Its sad the D&D went out so quick, I wonder what they could have came out with if given another 30 years of business. I would bet a poly framed bren ten wouldnt have been to far on the horizon given the market trends from the late 90s onward.

Nice Bren Tens guys! You make some of us jealous. 

That pocket model would have been a handful shooting Underwood, or even the old Norma load.

[Sonny10MM]

Very Nice Special Forces you have there and welcome to the forum too Rod. I love mine. I haven't shot the regular two tone in years and never the Police Model. They are special. Every time I get the itch to shoot one of my Bren Tens I just get out my Witness Stock and shoot it some.

I concur, the Special Forces is a beautiful!
