When my agency transitioned from revolvers (M66's) to autos it was 1989/1990. The .40 S&W had not come on the market yet.
We ended up selecting the M1076, just behind the FBI's adoption of it.
That was our duty gun for ~10 years.

Somehow I ended up with copious amounts of 10mm brass and no small amount of ammo. Of course the duty load was Federal '10mm Lite', 180 gr. JHP.
Ended up purchasing my M1076 for cheap when we transitioned to another gun (the M4566), and as it had been shot ALOT, the Armorer went through it and replaced all springs and handed me a double handful of mags.

And, since I really do enjoy 1911's, did end up getting a Colt Delta Elite SS, shipped the slide off to Novak for a 'carry-adjustable sight' install.

Enjoy both these 10's - both classics in their own right.
