10MM Trifecta

[Gunhacker]

Being in CA, the concept of finding and obtaining an out of production S&W 10MM pistol was something I didn't put much stock in.

A few years ago while at a local LGS, a 1076 walked in the door wanting to be bought. Last year, a 1006 finally came my way after looking for one for almost 10 years and I thought, ok... that's pretty much it.

Well, last week I got my socks blown off by a 1066 turning up on Armslist that was within reasonable driving distance. Some minor handling marks on the side of the slide, but in great shape overall.

I picked it up today after the CA 10 day wait expired... my excitement is second only to the day I got my 4566 Melonite

Very nice! I've been hoping a nice 1066 would find me for quite awhile. No joy yet, though.

I hope to find a shorter barrel model one day to keep the 1006 company. Nice Score!

If you are patient, everything shows up when you list expect it

Congrats on your purchase.

Thanks guys... I'll be pinching myself for days to come, checking it's not a dream. For awhile I've been reading on this forum about the mythical 1066, but to have one in my hand... wow.

It's nice to have a place to share my excitement... the wife just looks at me with a quizzed look and walks away shaking her head... the dog just wants it's usual treat handout and walks away shaking it's head. I don't dare saying anything to a neighbor, lest I get a visit from Homeland Security

And your neighbor and HS will be shaking their heads, too! Tsk, tsk.... GUN NUT!

Good job!

All great pistols. My 1076 shoots anything I feed it from full power Underwood to some crappy LRN reloads I bought that I think used black powder (seriously).
