capt14k 2,052 Posted July 8, 2017 Blah... just get a Glock 19 like everyone else. [emoji23] Never. Way too many military pistols left to buy. Only new pistol I would even remotely be interested in is a 10mm, but it won't be a Glock. It will definitely be a Bren Ten now that I saw it is C&R.

capt14k 2,052 Posted July 8, 2017 Damn this thread. Now I want a Bren Ten. I was set on a $600 pistol really wasn't looking for a $3,600 pistol.Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Screwball 483 Posted July 8, 2017 Check out Lugerman... they are making reproductions of the 1907 .45 Lugers, starting at $5,000. They also are doing 10mms. [emoji41] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tattooo 220 Posted July 8, 2017 I let one expire once, sometimes things come up that are more important. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

capt14k 2,052 Posted July 8, 2017 What about EAA Witness or Elite Pro seems to be closest thing to a Bren Ten but more true to the CZ75 design? Also a lot less money.Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know how well they redesigned them over the years, but I wouldn't buy one.For new 10mms, SIG and even that Ruger SR1911 are on point. Glock isn't a bad choice, but I prefer steel frames.

Part of it, I believe, is due to costs... it is just too expensive to get going with likely only a few people that will actually purchase one. Plus, I think it is a cursed design...10mm is a good cartridge, but need to pay to play. I don't shoot it as much as I used to because of costs, and if you get generic 10mm off the shelf stuff, most is lukewarm.40. If I'm going to shoot that, I have a M&P40 (actually two, and a SUB-2000 that takes the same magazines). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capt14k 2,052 Posted July 9, 2017 [mention=4929]Screwball[/mention] good points. You got me back on track. Lahti L-35 or Steyr Hahn Chilean Contract M1912 to go along with the Enfield No4 MkI and AC44 P.38 I have sitting at Monmouth Arms. Monmouth Arms the best gun store around. Never any storage fees and hopefully a discount on transfers for shameless plugs.

Screwball 483 Posted July 9, 2017 Chilean guns in 9x19 or 9x23?Don't get me wrong, I like the design... big fan of the rotating barrel (love my PX4), but how available is 9mm Steyr?I do know there are some chambered in 9x19... which I think is better for collecting/shooting. But if it is a standard M1912, I'd go L-35.Yea, Steve is a hell of a guy. Some of the stuff I hear there, I'm shaking my head in my car the entire way home, but definitely a good guy.

capt14k 2,052 Posted July 9, 2017 Great conversations at Monmouth Arms. The Chilean Contract is 9x23 and has the Chilean Crest. The German Used would likely be 9x19. Not sure how easy or hard 9x23 is to find. I passed on one on gunbroker that came with ammo on strippers. Ammo looked newer.Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ones listed on gunbroker are ridiculous high and have been sitting unsold for months.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
