Hi all,

Dep here. Been AGES since we have had a letter about our favorite hand cannon. Jon got some good news though and here it is:

From: "Mik ."
Subject: my Bren Ten is home!

hi all,

after a long wait for my Bren Ten, i finally received it and it is now resting comfortably in my safe. a few comments on it...

the Bren Ten is considerably lighter than i thought it would be. i received a EAA Witness 10mm in the same shipment and the weight difference is noticeable. the grip is also thinner than the Witness, the Bren Ten is much more comfortable in my hands. in fact, the Bren Ten Standard fits my hand like it was made for it!

the Bren Ten came in a white cardboard box and had the original manual, sight adjustment tool, funky gun rug (looks like a fabric flap holster...anyone else have this?), and two magazines. the magazines r not original...or at least i don't think they r. they don't have numbered witness holes and the drop mag device isn't able to stop the mags from dropping free. the gun is NIB and mint! as i said before, it will be shot and i look forward to taking it to the range real soon.

the DA trigger is THE lightest pull i have ever tried on asemiauto DA gun!!! it's so light that i couldn't believe it at first! the SA is only about 3.5#s at most! a fella that brought in a C&S P35 Hi Power in commented that the Bren Ten SA trigger was so good it had to be worked on...i told him it was stock. his mouth dropped, he couldn't believe it (i couldn't believe how much he spent on the custom Hi Power...ack!). i didn't realize the frame was cast, most noticeable along the serrations on the back and front strap. anybody else notice this?

the thumb safety is a little stiff, but i'm sure it will loosen up with use. the cross bolt safety has a small glitch...i think. to fully actuate the safety, i have to push the firing pin in a bit and the safety will full depress. is this common? just needs to be broke in?

one other concern. the trigger looks almost fragile...it's an unfounded concern, but the trigger does look a little thin towards the area where the trigger meets the "meater" part just where it enters the frame.

those r very small concerns. i LOVE this gun! it is my dream 10mm and i'm glad i bought it...it's worth every penny! the gunstore employees were all drooling over this gun too! anyone who appreciates quality firearms will appreciate this gun...at least everyone that has seen and held it gets a gleam in their eye and a smile.

i'll let u all know how it shoots!

Jon
