Vltor is working on a re-release of the famed Bren Ten 10mm handgun that Sonny Crockett carried in the first season of Miami Vice.  For those shooting types out there, the Bren was an incredible shooting piece — the original 10mm platform, based on my favorite steel gun, the CZ-75.  Up until now, the closest you could get to one of these was the Tanfoglio Witness in .45acp or 10mm.

The new Bren will have a 15 round magazine (and will accept mags from the Tanfoglio), and has been re-engineered to improve the gun while keeping the look.

bren-tenSaving my pennies, already…

UPDATE:  Well, I was.  The release date is now sometime this summer and apparently it’s going to be a very limited release through a company no one’s heard of… So I’ve said the hell with it and spend $250 to get the 10mm barrel/slide for the Tanfoglio, added a 20 lb recoil spring and a conefit guide rod.

I understand Vlotr’s reticence to put out vaporware, but they’ve had a year since they announced the production gun would premiere at SHOT Show 2010.  They could/should have had a single production gun for the show.
