I have one, a great gun. Now I feel the need to shoot it tomorrow.

I love my 10mm Glocks. Have had all three although I parted ways with the 20 to help fund the 40. My true favorite of all my tens is my Tangfoglio elite match. What a great shooter it is.

My first and best 10 was my first Bren Ten that I acquired back in the mid eighties. After that, every thing else  has been disappointing for me, except for my SW 610 Classic. Since I have long retired my Brens due to potential slide cracking, the 610 is just plain fun and relaxing. And I'm not even a revolver guy!

Years back when I had a job and money I searched hard for a Witness Hunter and I couldn't find one. Now I see them at every gun show. If I am ever able to get one I sure hope that it is not a disappointment like every thing else.

Everything I hear about them is positive.

Back in the 90's I got in on an order for one of the FBI commemorative 1076 pistols that S&W offered to LEO's after a local FBI agent notified my agency about them (about the time FBI dropped the 1076). I never did like the ergonomics of S&W pistols (the strange flat, plastic grips and that safety located right in the middle of the slide where you grip it to chamber rounds, and I especially hated that crappy empty magazine/trigger disconnector like they have on BHP pistols) so I ended up selling it.   

Later I got in on the Grey Guns Sig P220 .45 ACP conversion to 10mm project that took 2 years to finally get the completed gun. I was disappointed with it because they advised to refrain from using a steady diet of full house 10mm loads, because the P220 could not take it. I sold that pistol. I really wanted one of the upcoming VLTOR Bren Ten 10mm pistols which collapsed. I ended up with a NHC 10mm pistol which is my edc pistol. It seems to handle full house Underwood Ammo 10mm rounds very well.

Gen 3 G20. Would like to see the CZ line in 10mm.

Southrnshooter

I just recently purchased a 1006 and it's becoming my favorite pistol.  I've been scouring the net for mags, parts, etc.  I was lucky, I paid $775 for the gun with 3 mags and the box.  Just a few very minor shiny marks on the lest side.  Other than that, appears LNIB. 

At least I think I did pretty good.  My previous experience was a 659 that I never should have sold..!

It's  a shame S&W is not supporting some of the BEST semi-auto pistols they ever made.

Yes Southrnshooter the 10xx series guns were very strong and held up well even with use.  It would be nice if parts were still available for these fine shooters!  I started my 10mm addiction with the S&W1006 early 1990 and have handloaded for it since day one, developed some loads before they were printed!

I wish Bar-Sto still made barrels for them as well.

I love my black Dan Wesson Bruin. Absolutely fantastic gun. I plan to take a few wild hogs and perhaps a deer or two with it.

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

I am almost tempted to buy another G20 or G40 to pair with it

I'm curious about what you said, you had a G20 and hated it but now you are tempted to buy another.

I have a G20 and really enjoy shooting it. If I get drawn I'll probably take it Javalina hunting this fall.

I agree on the Colt comment, I have a Delta and love shooting it.

Love all my 10s, but the G40...by far the sweetest shooting handgun that i have ever owned, 10mm or otherwise...that includes both 610s (4" & 6 1/2"). The 4" 610 was my woods carry, but it has been replaced by the G40 unless i plan on shooting stout reloads.
A G29 is the winter carry piece.

I hope Smith gets a clue from Springfield and brings back some 10's!
I hope so too. Especially the 610, which would be as simple as machining and rifling the existing N frame for 10mm. The clods running S&W must be unaware of the $1500+ 610s on GB

Smith is not going to do any 10mm anytime soon. There is somebody there from the original 10mm project that has got major bad feelings about it. To the point that their reps asking the company to respond to the resurgent 10mm demand at sales meetings have been told that if they continue to bring it up, it will be a career ending move.

Wow.

That is some serious prejudice that a company would fire a sales rep for telling the company what sells.  Not saying it doesn't happen, just illustrates the depth of the prejudice in some people.
