This cartridge would propel a 200 grain bullet at 1200 fps from a 5 inch barrel, making it the most powerful service handgun cartridge in production. It would use a 10-round magazine, and also be convertible to .45ACP.<\/p>\n<p>The gun itself was based on the excellent Czech CZ-75 (made at Brno, which is where the &#8220;Bren&#8221; portion of the pistol&#8217;s name came from). It had full length slide rails, a DA\/SA trigger that could be carried cocked and locked, and nice big sights. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, a combination of production quality problems, inadequate magazine design, preorders, and other issues led to the company quickly falling into tough financial straights. The guns were only manufactured for about 2 years before bankruptcy ended production. Some had been shipped without magazines, and Bren Ten magazines remain a sought-after commodity today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons Hammer price: $2,500 The Bren Ten is an interesting story of handgun development and business failure.
