Favorite 10's all time

[10Tens]

So I've owned a dozen or more 10's in my day. My favorites continue to be the Smith 10 series. Built like a tank, look and feel great in the hand. And will take thousands of rounds of full nuke loads. Not many 10's can say that actually. What's your thoughts?

I love the S&W 10mm's. I had two of them, a 1076 and 1066 I believe. Both great guns, but I sold them when parts were basically discontinued. A real shame.

Sadly, mine have been safe queens for that reason. Mags routinely hit 80.00 to 100.00 a piece now. And I've worn so many out over the years of shooting. It's one reason I've purchased a new Grand Power , and will be ordering a Eitness p match...More capacity and readily available parts. But the old 10 series in my safe put a smile on my face every time I take them out and fondle them.

The LGS I go to, one of the salesmen there has the Smith and he said because of parts, he doesn't shoot his any more. This is one reason why at this point in time I only have the Glock's. Ugly but they work and parts will always be around as will the magazines. I have my G40 for hunting/woods carry. I have my G20 for ccw. And now that I think of it...the Glock's are not that ugly.

I've had my 1026 out twice this month. Still hands down my favorite. ...While searching for some misc. parts for a newly acquired 4006 ...I came across some 1026 parts. I ordered a few parts for it. Just enough to get me shooting it more. I would like to find a new barrel, does anyone know of any companies making replacements for the 1026?

Yep the Smith and Wessons hold a special place, as I started with the 1006 early 1990 added a Bar-Sto match grade 40S&W and 9x25 Dillon conversion barrels and obtained the 1076, 1066, 1026, 1046 and 2 1086's to add to my collection.  However with S&W dropping parts availability, I moved to shooting the Glock 29 and 20SF more these days. 

Then I longed to get the Vltor/Fortis Bren Ten to the point of Per-Paid Order with the local Bass Pro which never materialized.  After that money was on hold for 1 year, I canceled and retrieved my money back. 

While my money was on hold I was offered a MP5-10 clone at a great price, but passed. 

Then a local fellow I met on a local gun forum, showed up with a real Bren Ten Standard Model in excellent condition with one magazine for sale.  I quickly jumped on that procurement, just because it was the only one I have seen here.

I think the 1006 is still my all time favorite shooter of all of them.

Even though the OP was asking about pistols,my favorite is my 610 revolver followed by my 1006.

Actually any favorite 10 is good by me.

My Glock 20 is probably my favorite pistol. I have several options when it comes to handguns, but most often the 20 is the one I choose. I've owned the G20 for about 14 years, I have my 29 for about 16. In the past year I've acquired an STI Nitro 10 and last moth going through a local shop I like, the owner brought out an almost new G40 he had just taken in as a trade. So I'll pick that up in the near future.

Owned a G20 for a few weeks and I couldn't stand it
The Grip Angle was so unnatural, I couldn't shoot it
Was able to trade it (plus $100.00) for a NIB Delta Gold Cup
I love the thing
Always wanted the SA, Peter Stahl Omega but couldn't find one
And when I did find one, I couldn't afford it
Have and carry a 10mm Witness Semi-Compact (with a 10mm Longslide Conversion Upper)
Outstanding shooter in either length
The MG-20 (MechTech / Glock 20) is a GREAT Firearm
Some folks may call it a novelity, but the accuracy is amazing and the fun factor is off the charts
I am almost tempted to buy another G20 or G40 to pair with it

You have good taste in 10's! I've owned several 10's over the years . Such as all the S&W 10 series. Currently have 3. H&K MP 5  10mm clone, Glock 20, IAI  Javalina, Star Megastar 10mm, and Colt Delta Elite. Latest 10 favorite is my Thureon Defense carbine. Future 10's will be XDM and Witness P match pro DA/SA.

My first 10mm was a Witness Steel.  Loved it, but had to part with it (as with several of the following) for medical bill purposes - premature twins can really gut an income!
Next was a Witness Match - also a great gun.
Then a Glock 20.  Glocks always feel funny, but man, nothing stopped that thing.
Currently I'm down to my DW Razorback.  Absolutely love this gun.  My only problem is that it was a birthday present from my wife, so I tend to treat it a little gingerly (I don't like safe-queens, but this one has some sentimental value).  Of all the 10's I've owned, the Razorback has been my favorite - reliability issues and all.
Next up will be something (probably) polymer and (definitely) less valuable to me in sentiment: a 20sf, a Witness P or Witness P Match Pro (if the unicorn ever fully appears), or maybe the XD(M) in 10mm if it makes the fabled jump from 10mm Announcement-Land to Reality (funny how many 10mm's are announced, and then never materialize.  Have I offended the 10mm gods somehow?).
I've handled the Smith 10's.  I wish they'd make them again.  I'd go for one in a heart beat.

I hope Smith gets a clue from Springfield and brings back some 10's!

How cool would that be?

I have 2 Sig P220's in 10mm that are my favorite shooters.
