I have the S&W 1026 (3135 made) I love it. Being as heavy as it is, It feels like shooting a hot 45 load.
I really thinking about selling it, I don't shoot it all that much anymore plus I could really use the money. I should have a decision made by tomorrow, If I do decide to sell it I will post it up in the for sale section tomorrow.
My first issued duty weapon with EBRSO was a S&W 1076 , it was an okay pistol. It shot well and we had few issues with it. However our duty ammo was subsonic ammo. Kind of defeated the reason for having a 10mm but Elmer was ex FBI and it was FBI issue at one time. The main reason for getting rid of the 1076 was two fold and had nothing to do with deputies not being able to shoot them. S&W quit producing the 1076 so we could not buy new weapons or could only get a few and parts were getting hard to find. Also another major factor was ammo,
Expensive and not a lot to be had. We replaced the 1076 with the S&W 4506. An easy transition except for the decocker and lots of .45 ACP be had!
