In this video I get the rare opportunity to shoot and review an iconic firearm from the 1980s. This is the Bren Ten by Dornaus & Dixon Enterprises Inc. While considered by many to be a failure, this pistol was heralded as a possible replacement for the M1911 and was partially designed by Col. Jeff Cooper. Due to magazine issues this gun flopped but is still highly collectible today even though only 1400 pistols were ever produced. This video documents my personal thoughts, opinions and experiences with this firearm. Yours may vary.

Don Johnson did use the Bren 10 in the earlier part of the series, but it was quietly replaced with a S&W 645 in the later episodes.

Good information. Thank you so much!

Lucky to have one in your hands to review..so cool! From what I understand, the Miami Vice show used the .45 ACP version due to the availability of .45 blanks.

What until you see the video next Monday. 😉

The Bren 10 was my dream gun back in the 80’s. Thanks for sharing!

Jeff Cooper was the "mover and shaker" behind the Bren 10, and he did, indeed, use the CZ75 as the basis for the gun. The CZ75, at the time, was pretty much unobtanium in the USA at the time as firearm imports from Czechoslovakia were generally not allowed until after Czechoslovakia got their independence in 1989.

I handled a Bren 10 and considered buying it but frankly I was not well healed enough at the time. Nice gun, with 2 10mm marked mags in the package and paperwork. When EAA brought the 10mm Witness to the states, I got one of the earliest ones to hit the states as I complained to the President of EAA and Tanfolgio about the delays. It was a great gun and I beat the tar out of it except for the 10 rnd mags that kept breaking due the wire cuts ("high capacity mag ban" mags). I suspect the Bren could take the loads that the Witness just soaked right up, the 200 at 1200 standard of the older Norma ammo. It was a lot of fun as the recoil while stout was not obnoxious. I enjoyed your comments about the 210. Not many folks have one they can show and discuss them. I call my 210-5 heavy frame the mini rifle for its accuracy but I think my older 210-6 has a better trigger.

Apparently even Sonny Crockett was unable to obtain magazines for his Bren Ten... As Nash Bridges he also carried a 10mm...

@@AlanToon-fy4hg Don Johnson was using a 1911 .45 A.C.P. Two Tone type Colt Combat Elite in Nash Bridges.

@thetexasgunvault 14 дней назад

I think it was using a 1911, but I I will have to double check.

@boostimalaka1 14 дней назад

When this pistol came out. Norma was making a JHP 170 grain load that was a very good self defense round. Sadly, the ammunition companies have watered down 10mm ammunition. Buffalo Boar makes true 10mm ammunition.

@thetexasgunvault 14 дней назад

I have heard that from many people. It seems very sad they will not go back to the loadings they had in the 80s.

@mikebott6940 14 дней назад

Corbon also makes good 10mm, Underwood makes *superb* 10mm.

@boostimalaka1 14 дней назад

@@mikebott6940 Underwood and Doubletap when they first started making 10mm ammunition were really good. I was disappointed with DT first with a purchase back in 2014. The 10mm ammunition wasn’t loaded to the original version. Underwood has gone to 20 round boxes and also fell short on being loaded as the original 10mm ammunition that was in the 50 round boxes.

@RC71153 10 дней назад

I remember when they came out and since Jeff Cooper gave his blessings for it, I wanted one bad, but it was not to be as they were gone so fast that I never saw one at a gun store.

I have a Tanfoglio Witness full size, another blatant copy of the CZ 75. I bought it a number of years ago in a multi-caliber kit, 9mm and .22 LR. Later, I was able to purchase a 10mm upper kit for it as well. Physically, it appears to be nearly identical to the Bren 10, except for the weird safety and the upswept design of the back of the slide. It shoots really well in 10mm. I believe the 10mm mags hold 14 rounds, as it is a double stack.

You might be right about the magazine.

It's the "CZ 1911 Hi Power". The factory loading I have seen that's closest to the original Norma ammo specs is the Sig Sauer Elite shooting 180gr. at 1250fps..

@thetexasgunvault 15 дней назад
