Smith and Wesson 1076

[raidersrule]

I’ve got a 1076 and 7 magazines that are just collecting dust.

Looking for some help determining an appropriate valuation and where to list it. See attached photos.

Based upon my research, the two dimples below the decocker and the “T” on the grip indicate an FBI recall that was in for warranty work and then sold. Does NOT have a magazine disconnect and DOES say “CAUTION - CAPABLE OF FIRING WITH MAGAZINE REMOVED.”

Thanks for the help!

The recall had nothing to do with Federal Bureau of Investigation firearms specifically

ALL 3rd Gen pistols with the DeCocker were recalled. This affected over a quarter million pistols

Visually your 1076 is clearly a pistol that was intended for Law Enforcement, but without supporting documentation nothing points to this one being an FBI pistol.

Pistol TFP20xx would have been manufactured in 1990

With that many magazines, this firearm can clearly bring well in excess of $1,000. A Gun Broker auction will usually yield the highest sale prices,

As per concurrent post asking 1006 value - my starting point for a 1006 or 1076 (without FBI pedigree) would be $1000-1200 with 2 mags. Those were the 2 most common 3rd gen 10mm.

Best place to list in my opinion is Classifieds below - 10mm (and 40 SW) on open market can be a boat anchor - forum buyers are more knowledgeable, with more interest in 3rd Gen 10mm, less lowballs. Before listing check shipping costs FFL to FFL as that can burn you and/or buyer these days - last pistol I shipped was $75 a year ago.

As to mags - I would include in listing at an additional $100 each with pistol (that would potentially increase interest as it would be a good deal for buyer but allow buyer to choose - but the downside is you will get a lot of people trying to buy just mags - make it clear the mags are not for sale separately -you can relist after pistol sells.) Or you can probably get $150-200 ea for mags on ebay depending on market at time listed.

Based on that information on the slide, the absence of the mag-disconnect, and the picture showing factory checkering on the front strap, I’m 99.9% sure yours was either a Bureau 1076 at some point in time or a departmentally-issued 1076 at a state or local agency. Many local L.E.As. that issued the M1076 pistol had S&W configure the gun the same as the FBI’s.

My 1076, which I acquired around ‘93 or ‘94, is set up exactly the same as yours and did receive the factory Recall work as there are two “dots” stamped under the black tab of the decocking lever.

I requested and received a S&W Historical Letter from Mr. Jinx in which he states that my gun was originally purchased by and shipped to a New Hampshire PD in late 1990. If you obtain a similar Historical Letter (by submitting the ser.# to Mr. Jinx), that would not only add value to your gun but would document its lineage to some L.E. department or agency.

See the sticky thread list. There’s a 1076 thread there that has everything you could ever want to know about the model.

As for the value, go to GunBroker.com and at the top, choose Advance Search. Then, click on the Completed tab and type in your search. There won't be a lot of of these sold during its history, but there's a few. They used to go back 90 days but I don' think it goes that far back now. Here's a shortcut to what I described above:
Just a moment...

I purchased this gun and sent off for the letter. It was originally sold to Chesterfield VA Police Department in February 1992.

Now that’s some serendipity right there
