Saw your post on the SIG forum earlier.
If you only traded a 239 and no cash for it, you did great!

That is a great deal for a 1076, especially in that condition. Enjoy your new pistol.

Congrats! It Looks great! Good luck with it!
Took it out to the range today with some reloads I worked up last night.
Shot great, no issues.
All I had on hand was some 180 fmj's and AA-5 powder.
Don't think this combo will hit top gear n the 10mm.
8.3 to 9.2 grains (max in the book). Started to get a little push when I got to the 9.0 range and up!
Highest velocity achieved was 1076 fps., book says 1200 with this load.
I think with a 6.5" 610 I may have reached 1150-1175 with the same load. Not barn burners, will have to pick up some AA-7 and try again, maybe Power pistol too!

I was thrilled to buy a #1076 but hated the design of the decocker lever. I traded that one off for a S&W #65 3" HB, RB, and later bought a S&W #1006 which I really like. I once owned a Sig P239 in .40 S&W which I never warmed up to. The Sig never felt right to me. I replaced it with a Sig P225 and have been happy ever since.

Congrats on the 1076 and Welcome to 1076 Club! Price was spot on! I own 2 1076s that are FBI originals!
I have very good luck in my 1076 with both AA-7 and HS-6 powders. In my gun, the lighter the bullets, the better they seem to shoot. There is not a lot of difference between 180s, 165s, and 155s, but for some reason I do not have great luck with 200s. All my shooting has been with Hornadys, except for one box of 150-gr Sierras.
Congratulations on finding a nice 1076. They are a little heavy, but certainly are pleasant guns to shoot, compared to a 10mm 1911, IMHO.

Congrats!! I only became a member of the 1076 club a few months ago myself.
I wasn't a big fan of the frame mounted decocker at first, but now I prefer it to the slide mounted one on my 4566.

LOVE the frame-mounted decocker models!
My 1026 and Kentucky State Police Contract 1076.
ElKabong: Congratuations! That thing looks darn near brand new!
Awesome. The slide mounted decocker/safety was the one thing the kept me away from S&W autos for so long. I hate hate hate them. I can not manipulate them with my shooting thumb, same thing with the Berettta 92, I won't own one for that reason alone.
That's why I grabbed a 1076. I've since found some S&W autos have slide mounted decoker only that springs back up to the fire position automatically. That I can live with.
I'd love a 1026 some day.
Great find you have there.

Take a look at Longshot. According to the Hodgdon Data site, it makes for the fastest loads.
I opted for a Delta Elite myself, and am still in the process of gathering brass, etc. I'm still looking for a pound of Longshot myself, and am hoping to pick one up next week. My goal is a 180 gr XTP at 1250 fps and a 200 gr XTP at 1150 fps.
Anyone else load with Longshot?
I love my DE, but that's still a sweet looking pistol!
