The 10mm Auto, initially powerful, proved problematic for the FBI due to recoil and wear, leading to the development of the reduced 'FBI load.' This compromise eventually resulted in Smith & Wesson shortening the case to create the .40 S&W, fitting it into 9mm-sized frames. The video details the S&W 1076, an FBI-adopted pistol featuring a frame-mounted decocker and single-stack magazine.
This "Antiques Gunshow" video, themed around 80s and 90s action movies, features Jonathan Ferguson and special guest Hollywood Guns comparing iconic firearms.

Each firearm is scored based on "Epic movies", "Rarity", and "Power".

The FBI's brief adoption of the 10mm Auto in 1989, primarily with the Smith & Wesson Model 1076, proved disastrous due to mechanical issues and complexity. This led to the development of the '10mm Lite' and ultimately the .40 S&W cartridge, which was quickly adopted by Glock and dominated law enforcement for decades. The 10mm Auto's potential was recognized, but its practical implementation by the FBI failed.

The Colt Delta Elite was Colt's 1987 answer to the 10mm Auto cartridge, adapting their Model 80 1911 platform. It featured unique red triangle grips and internal modifications like a dual nested recoil spring and polymer buffer to handle the 10mm's power. Early models experienced frame cracking issues, leading Colt to implement a frame rail cut-out solution.
The Bren Ten, a collaboration involving Jeff Cooper and based on the CZ-75, was designed for the potent 10mm Auto cartridge. Despite its tactical features like a unique magazine release and 'cocked and locked' capability, production issues, particularly with magazines, led to its limited success.
