Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Smith & Wesson developed a new handgun of the so-called "Third Generation" autos, the Model 1076, for the 10mm cartridge. The FBI adopted the Model 1076 in 1990. Early FBI testing of the full-power Norma 10mm Auto round found it was too high-pressure, was hard on the converted 1911 test pistol, and had "unmanageable" recoil levels. FTU personnel purchased 180-grain Sierra JHP bullets and handloaded them at a muzzle velocity of 980 fps. This reduced the recoil to tolerable levels, and the FBI requested the Federal Cartridge company to duplicate this reduced load. This "FBI-lite" round became the standard issue.
Most buyers of service pistols preferred double digit high capacity over nine rounds per magazine. The smaller .40 S&W cartridge duplicates 10mm Lite ballistics and has proven itself in the hands of law enforcement. It has all but supplanted the 10mm Auto. Smith & Wesson has "seen the handwriting" and has now discontinued all of its 10 mm autos. The 1076 had a very short life span with the Bureau, less than five years. They now issue the Glock M23 in .40 S&W. This means that ex-FBI issue Model 1076s are relatively plentiful and affordable on the used gun market.
The S&W 1076 pistol is of all stainless-steel construction and thus weather and sweat-resistant. This pistol dispensed with the usual Walther-type slide-mounted safety/decocking lever in favor of a frame-mounted decocker a la SIG-Sauer pistols. There is no manual safety to interfere with a fast first shot, but the pistol's trigger is thus always live. Do not miss YOUR opportunity to add this powerful Smith & Wesson to YOUR collection!
Condition/Contents:
This example is in what we believe to be in PHENOMENAL condition with no indications of any consumer use or handling that we can see. Additionally...it will ship with the original S&W box and contents shown in the many photographs provided above!
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
