Have owned several 10's but the old Smiths IMO are the class of the field. Owned a Glock 29, a couple RIA 1911 10s and now have a pair of Smiths in a 1066 and a 1026. Prefer the Smiths to all I have looked at owned and fired to actually carry. Carried the 1066 in a nice leather Don Humes when I worked at a local Pawn Shop and got stuck in the particular shop that stayed open to midnight in a bad section of town. Had others but trusted my life to the old Smith if that says anything. On the Brenn 10 they are notorious for reliability issues in particular with full power 10mm loads. Have thousands of rounds through 10's and the one pistol that I have never had a single issue with are the Smiths.
