1076

[k22fan]

Last summer I saw a store sell a 1006 for $600 plus $50 tax and a 1066 for the same price. They only had one magazine. I think you did well.

I'm not sure, but I read that 1076s formerly owned by the FBI only got into civilian hands by S&W reselling warranty returns. Given that, doesn't it follow that the absence of a "u" stamped on the bottom of its trigger guard eliminate a 1076 from having been an FBI gun? If we get lucky, dmc8163, a collector of 1076s, will comment on this.

Well I called Customer Service per a request... The guy I talked to said it didn't appear to be FBI issue, that it had been sent to a Dealer(but was told can't be sure unless I sent for a letter)... I can't say I'm disappointed though... I love my new 1076, FBI issue or not!!! I'm still going to send in for a letter from Jinks so I can have it. I think I done good! I love 10mm... and I'm super happy about this buy!


k22fan... I read they can possibly have the U but some don't... so I don't know... mine doesn't have the U... I do know that! lol

I have FBI 1076s with and without the "u" stamp. It can not be used to identify or exclude a 1076 as being FBI. In theory all FBI 1076s out there should have the "u" stamp but like everything else involving these pistols there is no consistency. D

So... it was range day!!! OH MY!!!! 3 of my friends went with me... and we all shot the 10mm... my friend Kim said she really loved it! None of them had ever shot a 10mm before... I really wish I had a picture of Kim's Husband's face after he shot the first round! His jaw dropped and his eyes were bugging out of his head!!! lmao I loved shooting the 1076!!! I like it better then my Uncle's Star... I brought the targets home... I'll have to take a picture and put them on here lol seriously though I am SO SO SO happy with the 1076!!! It didn't jam, no stove-tops, nothing... fired cleanly and I have to say by far my favorite!! Although I am thinking that I may have to look into trying to find the other S&W 10mm models out there!...

Yup, that will eventually happen. Just can't stop at one.

Might I recommend the 1066 or perhaps 1006? The fever simply never ends!

You may have already searched this thread but I started with many of the same questions and got this thread going. Just about everything about 1076's has been discussed on this thread. Congrats on the purchase, you made the right choice.
