Yeah, it's kind of weird how the .40 came about. Since we can't shut our traps about S&W Autos, and this 10mm cartridge, I'd really like to get my hands on a 1006. Of the maybe 5 or 6 10mm designs, this (and a Delta Elite) are the ones I'd most likely buy. I wouldn't mind a Bren Ten either but I might as well look for the ever evasive .45 Luger.

@ S&W You can't fully compare a double action trigger to a 1911's trigger. Most single action pulls are about 4-5 pounds, and if they aren't it's either a lemon on the line or not a brand name gun. There are other things to look for like creep and of course the double action pull. I've held and handled examples of first, second, and third gen pistols (my 5906 was pretty early too, made in 1992) and there was a significant loss of quality in the trigger pull between the 1st/2nd gen and 3rd gens. It might be different for the 3rd generation .45 Caliber frames as I've never handled a 4506, but I don't see any reason the performance would be that much different from a 9mm frame, and if it isn't then it has the same mediocre trigger. I'm not saying it's an utterly terrible worthless trigger, but it's not as good as other options and certainly not a 1911's.
