Bile, Welcome to the forum! I started my 10mm ownership with the S&W1006 March 1990, it is strong, has been very reliable and sexy rich looking stainless steel finish that has held up quite well. I still shoot it and test handloads for performance over the chrony from the 5" barrel.

I do carry the Glock 29 now, because I wouldn't want to give up my S&W if I were to have to defend my self or family during an investigation. Or have it stolen if I need to leave the weapon in my vehicle. At least the Glock 29 is more easily replaced should that happen.

Yes the S&W 10xx series is very dear to me and I enjoy them all for what they bring to the platform of my favorie cartridge!

Best of luck with your finding one to suit your desire!
