Original Bren Ten: Occasional shooter or safe queen?

[Harrier]

Awesome! It's great when a plan comes together. What ammunition were you using?

Oh right, I should've mentioned! It was American Eagle 180 gr.

Federal American Eagle 10mm is expensive. I don't think that it can be found for under $20 per box of 50rds. S&B and Magtech is available for about $300 delivered per 1000rd case ($15 per box of 50rds). I've been using the S&B and it's clean shooting and reliable. I've never shot the Magtech 10mm, but I'd also expect it to be clean burning and reliable based on my experience with their 9mm and 40S&W. If you don't reload, still pickup that brass and you can sell it to recoup a good part of the cost.

What a great pistol! Congrats!

Glad to hear it’s a shooter. How easy/difficult is it to acquire spare parts for it?

I would imagine just about impossible. This will be an occasional shooter for me, I think, which is a bit of a shame considering how very enjoyable it is to shoot.

Chuck Warner is planning on making copies of the Bren Ten and hopes to have spare parts for the originals. https://www.facebook.com/groups/CSPOwnersAssociation/
