Just scored a 1076 from LGS

Finally got a 1076 to go with my 1006. $850 at local pawn shop. Already have plenty of mags.

Congrats on your find!

Did you check to see if it's marked as having the recall completed on it?

What am I looking for?

Lower the decocker. If there are 2 dots stamped in the frame, under the decocker, the recall work was done.

 

[SSBiggun]

Yes, punch marks, has mag disconnect TFE prefix. Nevermind I see them.

Yes, punch marks, has mag disconnect TFE prefix. Never mind I see them.

My TFE- prefixed 1076, per a Jinks letter, was a Chesterfield Va. PD gun. It looks just like yours but doesn't have the mag disconnect feature. The right side of the slide has the 'Will Still Fire' warning.

You might want to send in the $100.00 tariff to the S&W Historical Foundation for a letter, so you can find out where yours has been. With a TFE prefix, it's almost certainly an ex-L.E. gun.

OK, you now have two, 1006 and 1076. There's still the 1026,1086, and the elusive 1046 out there.

Whoa, are you a 1066 hater or what?!

The 1076s are fine, uber reliable pistols; I had a couple of them. I was never a collector, but the S&W 10XX series became my favorite 10MMs. I had 1006s, and 1026s too. I've managed to hang on to my last 1026 for many years now. All mine were just boringly reliable pistols. I used mostly the old NORMA factory ammo, equivalent reloads, and in more recent years the Underwood and Buffalo Bore offerings. The S&Ws handled all these without issue, no buffers, double or heavy duty recoil springs, etc. required. Nothing ever broke.

Of course now days, many/most consider the old S&W 10XX guns to be ancient, horribly heavy, artifacts of a bygone era
