  • why is the metric system lame? it makes wayyy more sense... multiples of ten...

  • should rename it the sonny crocket special

  • This gun is tits, man.

  • I see alot of browning high power in that pistol.

  • @fordxbgtfalcon see i thought it had mor cz 75 (i know cz75 is based of the hipower)

  • Sweet gun

  • Do you see the Cooper's Gunsite logo on it? The CZ design was on of Cooper's favourites. He had a hand in designing hte 10mm Auto.

  • You guys are nerds, this handgun is righteous.

  • @GunWebsites Hey I am a weapons enthusiast and I would like to know if you have fired the newer model BREN TEN. If so, I would like to know how the recoil and handling of the pistol is, with the BREN TEN being one of my favorite pistol, I've been thinking about purchasing one.

  • I remember back in 89' every kid in the neighborhood wanted "the miami vice gun". One of us actually found a toy gun that looked exactly like it after scraping the black paint off. We took turns running around yelling "freeze"! Awesome times.

  • Why don't people call it 1 cm instead of 10 mm

  • @aquadax1

    cause of how lame the metric system is

  • @GunWebsites dude.. what doese that have to do with how lame the metric system is? (as an architect i feel insulted xD haha)

  • @thekapow

    I just like to make fun of the "I need to do math on my fingers" crowd when I can.. it seems to really be a sore spot for some of them

  • @GunWebsites So, representing arbitrary numbers using a simplified numerical system is a bad thing? i don't get it, honestly.

  • @GunWebsites "I need to do math on my fingers"?

  • @thekapow Because engineers express sizes in mm (europeans) and certain calibers were developed by them in europe. Also it would suck to call other calibers in cm like 0.9 cm and such. Architects obviously don't work in mm because they work with far larger sizes. Also if you think doing math on your fingers is stupid go back to roman numerals. Seriously, the metric system is completely superior.

  • @mrkiky im not really sure i get the point?

    firstly.. im an architect from europe.. i only work in mm/millimeters, never cm or meters.. due to building tollerances and so on, also to prevet round up and so on during calculation.

    secon.. when did i say math on my fingers was bad xD? i do it all the time.. i think you might have read my comments out of context or something?..

  • @thekapow it was sort of a double reply. that part wasn't directed at you. and I really didn't think architects work in mm.

  • @mrkiky thats ok :).. well we do.. everything construction wise is mm

  • @GunWebsites It's better (and a LOT easier) than using body parts.

  • @aquadax1

    Because 10mm sounds cooler than just ONE centimeter. ;)

  • @aquadax1

    Becasue 10 sounds more impressive than 1.

    Even though the Bren Ten and the 10mm Auto round never got off the ground, at least it gave birth to the .40 S&W (Or the ".40 Short & Weak" if you're a fan of the 10mm Auto round)

  • @aquadax1 <<< hahaha this guy XD

  • @aquadax1 Because of the exactness of the number. 1cm can be anywhere from 5mm to <15mm based on decimal rounding. 10mm would be frmo 9.5mm to <10.5mm (even that is big when it comes to barrel tolerances, but at least it proves how different 1cm and 10mm is).

  • @Inkompetent No. 1cm can't be 11mm or 7mm. 1cm=10mm 10mm=1.000000000000000cm 1cm is exactly 10 mm.

  • @Ozku9 Please learn how rounding and number exactness works before writing such comments ;)

  • @Inkompetent Dude... you really think 1 cm can be 14 mm? I mean really... either you're trolling or you really are stupid as hell. That is same thing as i would say 1€ is 105cents.

  • @Ozku9 I don't think. I know. If you for example add 0.9cm and 0.4cm together you end up with 1.3cm. However due to numerical exactness (one number in both cases) the measurements aren't exact enough to know if it's a little less than 1.3cm, a little more, or exactly. Thus you fall back to say that it is "1cm", since that is the accuracy you KNOW you have. (even if it was 0.94cm + 0.44cm it's still only 1.38cm, i.e. less than any error in exactness that could round the end result to 2cm)

  • @aquadax1 Because you touch yourself at night.

    

  • @aquadax1 because its not proper firearms nomenclature lol. would u call a 40mm grenade launcher a 4cm grenade launcher?

  • @LeaveItToBeaner good idea, the 4 cm, nice

  • @aquadax1 because 10mm sounds bad ass and 1cm really sounds lame lol 

  • @aquadax1 .9cm doesn't sound right.

  • Its a beast,i want one are they in production now?I want mine in .45acp for ammo cost reasons but I really dig 10mm too.

  • @mullyscans

    They're super rare, and were only produced in 10mm.

  • @MAHARDWAY

    no.. it's a raven, as is the logo.. learn before you attempt to teach wrong info

  • spendy.......Gbroker.......300­0.00 plus WOW

  • Did Don Johnston own a bren ten in real life?

  • before internet as teens in the mid-80s we all knew what a Bren Ten was.

  • The slide is hard chromed ordinance steel.

  • Sorry I forgot to say in the ending

  • IDK about Sonny carying a 4506, in the episode (deliver us from evil) sonny clearly pulls out a 1006, and holds it up close to the camera. Its definately not a 4506

  • @414yoda "IDK about Sonny carying a 4506, in the episode (deliver us from evil) sonny clearly pulls out a 1006, and holds it up close to the camera. Its definately not a 4506"

    What "Crockett" carried in the show, at least what was published, was the Bren-Ten, then a 645, and in season 5 the 4506. What they put in his hand for that particular scene may have indeed been a 1006, as they use the same frame and look identical from a distance. However, it was *published* to be an S&W model 645.

  • Thanks for this man. I love that show.

  • Omg!I've been looking for this gun forever now lol

  • You lucky mother fucker!!!!! Lol.

    I WANT ONE!!

    Sonny Crockett kicks ass! Even if i could get a BB gun version i'd be happy but these guns aren't made any more.

    Where'd you get it if i may ask?

  • such a beautifull gun though

  • hey can you do a video on the S&W 4506  which was the pistol sonney used in the later seasons.

  • @pray4chicken Yeh for me the S&W 4506 looks a lot like the Bren 10 so i'd always use the S&W as a substitute lol.

  • nice piece man. be sure to take very very good care of it. it is very rare.

  • i believe that gun was made for me. my name is bren, theres a raven on it and my middle name is raven, and ive always been facsinated by this fire arm.

  • Man these shits are super expensive. Real cool though.

  • freeeze! miami vice!

  • eagle nazi???

  • They have not made a better gun than the 1911 for 100 years. I seriously doubt that they will ever make a gun better than the 1911. The bren ten in ten mm was a nice try by Jeff Cooper, but, no offense to him, the 1911 in 45 ACP still rules the roost!!! God Bless John Browning and thank you for the wonderful 1911!

  • my uncle had one and the thing jammed like mad almost every other round the slide was horribly gritty when you racked it and yes he bought a custom made mag for it for $80 bc he didn't get one with it. BTW in the end the manufacturer killed it most where good but not all think about 900 of them worked fine

  • Very nice gun

    I didn't realize it was made in Huntington Beach Ca

    I think of Huntington as a well to do beach community.

    Thanks for sharing, and your right I probably would have never seen one in person

  • Can't wait for Vltor's Fortis to come onto market, hopefully It won't be too expensive.

  • One of the world's most forgettable pistols.

  • Looks robust. Built like a tank. Wish I had one.

  • So how does it shoot? Or, do you shoot it or hold it for collection?

  • lol i found this by searching ben ten

  • Preciosa.

  • There is less than 1000 of them made. Only made for 2 years, and are very valuable. It would be like asking, "why do you have two cars when you can only drive one at a time?"

  • they shoot great, no jams. I have 3 of them

  • @bigdivot2007 You might flip out on me, but what's the point of having three of the same gun?

  • seem like it would jam alot.....

  • th 10mm round is larger than the 45 acp round ? higher velocity ? smaller ? i know glock made a 10mm jsut dont know toomuch about the round

  • @Rdad85 10mm is basically a 40SW double length, it in some loadings is douuble the power of the 40SW, and equals and sometimes surpasses 357 MAG

  • @Kylef7735

    not double the 40

  • @GunWebsites Almost, 40 SW is pushing 450 Foot pounds, 10mm is pushing 750 foot pounds.

  • @Rdad85 no it's the same as a .40 that's why some people call the .40 the short and weak in case no one answered you yet hehe

  • well i know the bren 10 was poulory(bad spelling i know) with gangs because it was used in tv alot. gangs loved this because it was inoc in the 80s. i have gotten to shoot this before a firearms show. great gun

  • Is this a new gun? it looks very stiff.

  • One can very easily mistake it for a Browning from a distance.

  • looks like an oversized 1911

  • Yours was made in 1983 according to your serial #. The first 2 #'s in the serial # is the year made. It is NOT all stainless... the slide has been hard chromed... some did this to make it look like Det. Sonny Crocketts firearm in the first 2 seasons of Miami Vice. Dornous and Dixon didnt offer a hard chromed version.

  • The Bren Ten was originally Crockett's Gun on Miami Vice.

  • Great Video. Thanks for this. "THE" vice gun.

  • Great Video. Thanks for the research and closeups of parts and pieces (Like the magazine). Beautiful detail.

    Thank you.

  • I have a question what is the difference between a mag and a clip? Because i always thought a clip was only for pistols and yeolde rifles and mags are for machineguns

  • @melikeit23

    Magazine usually has a spring (and moving parts) a clip is usually a bent piece of metal that holds rounds waiting to be put into a magazine

  • @GunWebsites Everything online about Brens says that you have to watch out for "fake" magazines, as in mags not produced by D&D, but in the future if I can buy one I don't care about the mags, I just want to take the Bren and cradle it..........

  • @GunWebsites

    On the muzzle of the Bren Ten, what is the purpose of the notched bushing? Was there some kind of accessory that you could buy from D&D?

  • @melikeit23 A clip is used to load a magazine. Mags have followers and springs, while clips just hold rounds together, clip them together, for loading into the mag.

  • @melikeit23 Also note there are two common type of clips. Stripper clips with 5 or 10 rounds used to load a magazine. There are also En-Bloc clips which hold the rounds and are inserted clip and all into the weapon. The most common en-bloc clip is the one used for the M1 Garand. After the last shot was fired, the rifle ejected the clip so a new fully loaded clip can be inserted.

  • @melikeit23

    Just give up man, their the same. give me a break.

  • @melikeit23

    99% of all firearms use mags. all semi-auto handguns and most rifles use mags, some older rifles use clips. a clip is a thin strip that holds rounds that feed an internal magazine.

  • @melikeit23

    Clips feed mags and mags feed guns. Most old military rifles use stripper clips to load the internal magazines. Most modern military rifles are mag fed.

  • It looks like a Browning Hi-Power with CZ75 controls.

  • Pretty cool design but the handgrip is too small and I don't really like it.

  • sweet gun

  • Wow all the years living in Huntington Beach and I never knew this. Awesome find!

  • It looks nice I just wish it had less safety mechanisms (prefer more simple builds)

  • I have several of these on order. The new ones are suppose to use Witness Magazines and will not have the Gunsite Raven on the slide. The introduction which was suppose to be this month has been delayed and I hope not for long.

  • sexy gun

  • I love the 10mm cartridge, I'm a fan.

  • Am I the only one that thought of the show "Ben Ten"?

  • wild looking firearm..cool vid

  • Are the copy Bren Ten going to have the Raven on the frame ?

  • That's cool you got your hands on this. So much better to watch these than the videos about Richard hewitts (aka nutn) big shoot in the gun community. I guess you wernt cool enough to be invited to Richards top secret shoot?

  • Another thing I forgot to add is that I have an EAA Witness Elite Match, and the grip looks very similar, and I hope it is. The grip on my EAA is extremely comfortable.

  • VLTOR is coming out with one of these, or at least were last I knew. I know they were going to call it the Fortis, but I had heard (no solid proof) that VLTOR had bought the rights to the BrenTen name. I'd love to have one of these!

  • in the early years of the show the gun was a 10mm but he did switch to SW4506 in 45 cal may be in the third season till the end !!!!!!!

  • Watch out don't fire that pistol. The reason is that the slide( and in fact all Bren Ten slides) have a flaw in the metal substrait. Small micro-cracks that with repeated shootings will grow larger until failure. So it's a show piece and that's all it can be. The slides were investment cast.

  • @sjetwrench ALL Bren Ten slides? If you have an original Bren, and don't want to have it magnafluxed, or otherwise tested for internal faults, then yes, not shooting it would be the best way to protect your investment. There are lots of Brens that have been shot, and continue to be shot.

  • Comment removed

  • Only 1500 pistols were made between 1983 to 85. The pistol came to fame in gun circles becuase Jeff Cooper help design the pistol. The eagle in the frame is for Gunsite. The pistol came to national fame from the TV Show Miami Vice where it was carried by Don Johnson's character. interesting piece of trivia is that the pistol was hard chrome so it would show better on camara and the pistol used in the show was a 45acp not a 10mm sinve there was no 10 blanks!

  • @af22raptor23503

    Not an eagle.. it's the Raven

  • @GunWebsites I Stand Corrected you are Correct! The FORTIS is having issues since the release date that was supposed to have been in May is now sometime before the end of the year. Vltor is going to use EAA mags which can be problematic. Vltor for some reason lost or never received the blessing from the Jeff Cooper family or Gunsite. Every aspect of the pistol is intended to create the Ultimate Combat Pistol as seen thru the eyes of Col. Jeff Cooper. You should have handled it more careful

  • @GunWebsites no its an angr pidgeon

  • very nice. I once read somewhere that the 10 mm is Ted Nugent's favorite caliber..... Just an FYI

  • @Nerfgunsandpancakes I know Ted Nugent's favorite document is the US Constitution! :P

  • Any chance of a video field strip? I'd like to see what's visible of the lockwork with the top end removed.

  • Where do you get all these guns for the videos?

    Do people just bring them in and you ask if you can film them?

    Nice vid btw :)

  • @nialld1990

    Actually that has happened. But we are around guns a lot and we always have cameras

  • now ya just need a white testarossa.

  • @FatGuyWithAKatana The Testarossa didn't arrive before the start of Season Three of Miami Vice.. He better needs a Daytona..

    Great job with the video, I loved it! Can't wait for the VLTOR's version of the gun!

  • @TheHiddenPart yeah i know but i like the testarossa better :I

  • @FatGuyWithAKatana

    Crockett drove the black Daytona Spyder when he used the Bren Ten. The Testarossa came into the series in the third season when he started to use a S&W 645.

  • @dykesy30 well thanks for making me look like a total dumbass. i was just pandering to the uneducated masses who only know of the white testarossa, that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it :P

  • @FatGuyWithAKatana Sorry :P

    Hardcore Miami Vice fan here, and I like correcting people, I'm a dick :P

  • @dykesy30 i correct the shit outta people when i see the opportunity too and have caught a lotta flak over it.

  • @FatGuyWithAKatana Tortoiseshell Wayferer sunglasses :D

  • That's not the only gun Crocket used. He also used a S&W 4506 and a S&W 645 in various seasons.

  • is 10mm bigger then 45 auto?

  • @ilovekershaw Not in diameter, but it is in length. It's also more powerful by quite a bit.

  • @ilovekershaw no, just longer

  • Last I heard the Vlt0r Bren Ten (formally Vltor Fortis) version won't have the raven logo... at least not the initial run. I think they are still trying to get the rights to do that. The Vltor version is nearly the same in appearance but not the same internally. Ohh and Vltor is offering what they are calling a "viced" model with a HC slide.

  • Sonny Crockett!!! :)

  • I don't want to think about the recoil on that weapon.

  • @mrhnm Probably not as bad as you think. I shoot a Glock 20 in 10mm Auto and the recoil isn't bad. Also the Bren is quite heavy which would dampen the recoil.

  • @mrhnm

    Shot it today, not too bad.. video to come

  • nice gun keep up the good work

  • it looks very awkward to hold

  • Gotta admit. That's one beautiful handgun. Thanks for postin this.

  • is this gun for sale? I know the guns in the videos are usually just to show them but I would buy this

  • @m91nagant

    This one is, but I suspect it will go quick (they are taking it to a gun show this weekend)

  • Do you own all these firearms? I am so jealous ...

  • I think you should put edit out your gun serial number

    It is dangerous! :> A friendly reminder

  • @zerobinary2

    really?

    You seriously think some bad guy is going to make an exact replica of a $2000+ Bren Ten, then watch this video for a serial #, then commit some crime, and leave a photo or a charcoal rubbing of this serial number

    Seriously though, people say this and I understand the concept, but I just do not see where knowing some random serial number is going to put anyone at risk..

  • @GunWebsites I never known the thinking behind it either.

    some one shed me some light please, I guess the idea is some one being an ass and reporting the serial # stolen, but I dunno how easy or hard would that be? since you would want to skip filing a police report

  • It was the Miami Vice gun Sonny Crockett used for the first two seasons. After that they went to the Smith & Wesson 645, another great and overlooked pistol.

  • the pistol Ben 10 uses?

    JK

  • Damn things are hard to find, and they want a ton of money for one.....when you can find someone willing to part with theirs

  • Made by Bren UK ?

  • By far, Gun Websites is the best overall gun channel on Youtube!

    Thanks for the review!

  • great review of a great gun , i cant wait for the new one to come out

  • now this is one freaking cool looking gun!! AWESOME!!

  • Smells like CZ 75...

  • @DudeNumberOnePlus From Wikipedia -

    "The Bren Ten is a semi-automatic pistol designed to advance the state of the art in sidearms, combining a new more powerful round with a weapon of greater strength and accuracy. The cartridge developed as the 10 mm Auto, while the gun was a larger and stronger version of the 9x19mm Parabellum CZ-75."

    I guess it really was designed after the CZ-75.

  • @DudeNumberOnePlus

    Except in 10mm

  • @GunWebsites what exactly is 10mm closely compareable to? .45?

  • @BallisstiXXX Ballisitically, the original 10mm round, as introduced in the early 1980s, was somewhat more powerful than .357 Magnum (200gr bullet at 1200 feet per second muzzle velocity). Today, it's been downloaded by most major ammo manufacturers to little more than .45 ACP +P (200gr @ 1000-1100fps).

  • Nice pistol!....Netflix has miami vice downloadable. that was a great show

  • nice looking gun for it's age. Never seen one before.

  • One can't bring up the Bren Ten without talking about Col. Jeff Cooper. If not for him this pistol would not have been made, or so I've been told.

  • @MrSilentSam01

    I agree, I mentioned the Raven, but I didn't want to butcher the story

    I'll let someone else explain those details

  • @GunWebsites I hear you on that. If Jeff Cooper is going to be talked about the least we could do is get his story right. Awesome vid & awesome gun!

  • I noticed @ 5:25 the mag shot out while on its side like it had a spring release to push it out faster. Is that common or unique in this weapon?

  • @Derail07

    The spring in the mag does that, as long as the mag isn't too tight, most pistols let the mags drop out easily like that

  • Beautiful Firearm. I never shot a 10mm before
