A few years back my boss told me his friend wanted to sell a pistol for cheap and knew I was interested in guns. Imagine my disbelief when this man pulled out a S&W 1006… What a great shooter! I don’t think I could ever let it go.

I never realized he directed Public Enemies till I watched it for the second time a few months ago. During the shootout in the woods I had it cranked up loud on my sound bar and sub an thought “Holy shit this loud as fuck… Kinda like Heat….” Immediately looked it up and was surprised, never noticed his name in the credits.

The Forgotten Weapons take on the Delta Elite was that people handloading extremely hot 10mm loads (as some 10mm fans are wont to do) or people installing lighter hammer springs would often experience cracked frames. The gun by itself was fine, it just didn't have much margin of error. Looks like Colt did reintroduce it though.

The world is not ready yet for the 3rd gen S&W. It will take another 30-40 years until they realize what they are missing out on. BTW, back when this was new, by a simple swap to a lighter recoil spring, shooting 40S&W was commonly done for cheaper shooting. On another note, its 45 counter part, the 4506, was switched to 45 super simply be changing the recoil and firing pin springs to heavier. No barrel swap, no nothing. This proves the overbuilt factor in them by a lot. Not many 45s could do that, if any ever. Great video friend

I bought mine new back in 98 and came with the same Hogue grips and immediately bought 2 more clips. worst thing that's happened is plastic baseplates finally started cracking in the clips that were almost always loade for 24 years. A small online ivestment in clip repair parts and I'll die before they fail agin. This gun is The Party Favor everytime we go out, this is a Bad Ass gun with probably 20,000 rounds through it and not one failure except a miscrimp issue on my reloads. I am so Glad I own this beautiful Beast! Thanks for the video!!!

You are a great storyteller and a wealth of information. I agree with a lot of what you are saying. You are a little hard on police in my opinion, however I will concede that the problems you highlight with police ie their attitude, lack of sufficient training and poor leadership in the upper echelon have some merit. Although I vehemently disagree at all cops want to go out and shoot people or even most cops. There are millions and millions of police interactions with the public each year yet there are very few police shootings in relation to all those interactions. Therefore I submit that most police do not want to shoot people.

Kinda a random question, but have you ever shot a Walther P88? I have a fascination with them that I think stems from loving the P99, PPQ, and PDP F (Settled on a VP9 litterally a week before the PDP F came out as my self-defense sidearm, but now my manlet hands yearn for the PDP F after holding one. Being a student just can't afford another 650 dollar gun tho.) but never having even seen a P88 in the wild. There's not much out there for reviews and videos about them either. Must not have sold really well in the US.

However, I don't know why there are so many guys out there who treat the 10mm as if it's some howitzer capable of vaporizing bears... like, real 10mm is on par with a good .357 Magnum. Other revolver magnum cartridges only go /up/ from there; rifles and shotguns are way more powerful still. 10mm is powerful, but let's keep it in perspective... it's still just a pistol cartridge.

It was to big and to much recoil for people with smaller hands. The FBI asked S&W if they could lighten the load/recoil. S&W did then realized that the cartridge didn't need to be so long either. Thus .40 S&W was born.

The ONLY FTF I ever had on my 1945 clunker 1911 when a club member reloaded my brass with solid lead bullets with crimping that dug straight into the lead, leaving NO ridge for the round to seat against. He blamed my old piece of course but we all knew that his casual attitude was the cause. That same attitude killed him when he went down to an old wreck with half full oxygen tanks, got himself tangled up and died when his O2 ran out.

Fast forward to the 2010s, and FBI now is recruiting a larger percentage of women who were having difficulty qualifying with the .40 S&W. As a result, FBI commissioned a 'study' to justify re-adopting the 9mm because, "It's almost as good as the .40 S&W, right?" 🙄
