This video features a detailed review and shooting evaluation of the Smith & Wesson 1006 pistol in 10mm Auto. The presenter compares its performance and recoil characteristics to FBI-issued firearms and various ammunition loads, including 'FBI light loads' and full-power 10mm. The review includes extensive live-fire testing against steel targets and various objects, demonstrating the ballistic capabilities of different ammunition types.

Quick Summary

The Smith & Wesson 1006 is a 10mm pistol similar to the FBI's 1076, featuring a slightly longer barrel and hammer spur. The FBI reportedly used 'light loads' comparable to .40 S&W, while the 1006 handles full-power 10mm with enjoyable recoil, demonstrating significant ballistic performance with hollow-point ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the S&W 1006 and the FBI's 1076?

The Smith & Wesson 1006 is very similar to the FBI's former 1076 service pistol. The primary differences noted are that the 1006 has a slightly longer barrel and features a hammer spur, which the 1076 reportedly lacked.

What kind of ammunition did the FBI use in their 10mm pistols?

According to the video, the FBI did not use full-power 10mm ammunition. They reportedly used 'FBI light loads,' which are described as being comparable to .40 S&W, with an example given of 180-grain bullets traveling at approximately 1,000 feet per second.

How does the recoil of the S&W 1006 compare with different 10mm loads?

The S&W 1006 exhibits manageable recoil with lighter loads like 180-grain at 1,000 fps, described as 'very little recoil.' As loads increase in velocity, such as 180-grain at 1,100 fps and 1,200 fps, recoil increases but remains enjoyable for the presenter, who likes recoil.

What are the ballistic capabilities of 10mm hollow-point ammunition?

Testing a 180-grain hollow-point at 1,250 feet per second demonstrated significant terminal performance. The ammunition was capable of obliterating targets, causing fragmentation, and showing impressive penetration and expansion characteristics.
