Bren Ten
The Bren Ten is a heavy-duty combat service pistol designed to fire the 10mm Auto pistol cartridge. Both the Bren Ten and the 10mm cartridge have been designed and developed from the ground up. The Bren Ten represents a breakthrough in production pistols. It has all of the custom features of the most refined combat pistols available, without these features costing extra. It is truly ready-to-go, right out-of the-box.
STANDARS FEATURES INCLUDE:
Selective double/single action – can be carried cocked and locked (condition one), or hammer down and used double action by just pulling the trigger. Each successive shot after the first double action shot, will be single action.
Positive Cross-Bolt firing, pin block – push to engage, snaps into place. Completely independent, does not interfere with other mechanism. Does not drop the hammer. Offers a positive visual, tactile and audible method of determining if engaged or not. Firearm cannot be fired when engaged. Is located on the side of the side below the rear sight, and when not engaged is flush with the sides of the slide.
Loaded chamber indicator – indicates both visually and tactily whether or not a cartridge is loaded in the firing chamber. Is located just behind the ejection port on the right side of the slide. When no round is the chamber, it is flush with the side of the side.
Fully adjustable rear sight – adjustable for windage and elevation, yet is rigidly locked into place and is fully protected against accidental blows.
Exclusive “Power-Seal” rifling – allows the bullet to seal better in the barrel, effectively reducing gas leakage, thus increasing efficiency, velocity and accuracy, and at the same time reducing the pressure.
Reversible thumb safety- allows the thumb safety to be “plugged” into the right of left side of the frame for right or left handers. Requires no special tools and can be done by the owner in about two minutes by field stripping.
Selective magazine catch – by merely turning a slotted screw head located in the right grip panel, allows the user to choose to have the magazine fall free from the gun, or to stop part way out and allow manual extraction. (Not on the Pocket Model)
Magazine cartridge indicator – indicates the number of cartridges in the magazine.
Two magazines come with each Bren Ten model.
All models have a Stainless Steel frame which provides corrosion resistance where needed, and at the same time ensures functional reliability and strength in the standard steel slide.
Recoil buffer – cushions recoil. When combined with backstrap design, offers greatest reduction in felt recoil attainable. (Not on the Pocket Model or Special Forces Model – the Pocket Model a тв Special Forces Model each have a specially designed recoil spring system that effectively dampens recoil.)
Dual screwdriver in pistol – designed to be an emergency field tool that fits all screws in the pistol. (Not on the Pocket Model and Special Forces Model).
Replaceable from sight – by field stripping, allows the front sight blade to be replaceable.
Replaceable screw-in barrel bushing.
Bushing lock – ensures, no matter how loosely screwed in the bushing is, that it cannot come out. Guarantees functional reliability.
Three-dot sighting system – comes standard with the most visible and easily, picked-up sights available. Consists of a single white dot on the black front sight blade, and two white dots on the black rear sight. When held in the shooting position, the three dots appear the same size, and are designed to be lined up in a horizontal plane at six o’clock on your target.
Positive grip grooves on the back strap, and positive gripping ribs on the front strap and on the front of the trigger guard.
Military style trigger guard – allows for glove clearance.
Lanyard loop – modern design for the those agencies or individuals that require it. (Not of the Pocket Model).
Designed inherent accuracy and natural pointability – because of the precision of the computer controlled machines that produce the Bren Ten, there is complete parts interchangeability and out-of-the-box accuracy that is an integral part of the pistol itself. The grip angle in relation to vertical, which is exactly 17 degrees, combined with the grip tang angle, whish is exactly 12 degrees, plus the deep inset in the backstrap, all add up to a natural pointability that is second to none.
Large cartridge capacity – Full Size and Special Forces Models: eleven in 10mm; nine in .45 ACP, thirteen in.22 L.R. Pocket Model; nine in 10mm; eight in .45 ACP.
Trigger pull – single action: 4 lbs, crisp. Double action: 10 lbs, smooth and continuous short stroke.
Factory standard production combat features – includes trigger job, throated chamber, polished feed ramp, enlarged ejection port, beveled magazine well, nonreflective sighting surface, and all corners and edges rounded for no-snag operation.
