My new 1006. Pics inside.

[TacticalBacon]

Spent a while looking for a new condition 1006 with fixed sight. Finally got it and love shooting it. Replaced the recoil spring with a Wolff 22lb because the brass was flying 30 ft back. Check out the pics. This thing really is a tank.

Careful. Those 10mm's are the cause of global warming.

After all these years, I've found a new favorite round.

Welcome to the perfect world of 10mm! Best regards!

Great buy, congrats! I got myself a Colt Delta Elite (original issue) awhile back and have been thinking about a 1006. Now you have gone and thrown some fuel on the fire....

Now you'll have to start to reload 10MM as ammo is sometimes hard to find and expensive when you do, but you will love it.

That is a pristine looking 1006 you got there. Congrats, and enjoy!

Nice grab!

Super find, there!

It's almost rare to find them with curved backstraps. Enjoy it! It'll be worth the wait!

To me, that's perhaps the most beautiful handgun ever made! Love 'em dearly!

I have owned three 1006's in times past, and wish to God I still had them! Notice how thick the dust shield is; the gun is a tank.

Thanks for all he nice comments, guys. And yes, I did start reloading 10mm already after paying out the a** for a few boxes of factory FMJs. If anyone has some good recipes using Titegroup please let me know. So far I cooked up two loading near the weak end for range use but according to Hodgdon, I can use 8gr with a 135 Nosler to get 1460 ft/sec. Anyone go that hot with Titegroup?

Super looking 1006...I'm sure you'll love it just as much as I do mine......

How much did you have to pay for that little gem ? ...

$700 including shipping and a a few small extras. I've seen these sell for less and I've seen them sell for more. However, based on the great condition, I made the seller a high offer to avoid haggling and make a quick deal.

Got a chance to shoot my reloads today. Best performer was 180 gr fmj over 5.2 gr of Titegroup. Not only was this loading super accurate, it was also very low recoiling. On the other side of the spectrum, the 135 gr nosler HPs over 8gr of Titegroup were quite hot, throwing the brass back about 20 ft. Still quite accurate though if you manage the recoil.
