Bren Ten & 10mm Auto Related Literature Guide

Collecting magazines, annuals and other Bren Ten and 10mm Auto literature is not only fun, but it's also quite cheap when compared to the cost of buying an actual gun (especially a Bren Ten!). Looking for and finding these is just challenging enough to make it fun and exciting when you actually find something. The first step, though, is to know what you're looking for. There are some magazines and annuals that actually feature the Bren or some other 10mm firearm on their cover, but most articles are burried inside with little or no mention of it on the front. This can make things a little bit difficult, unless of course you have a list.

Over the years I have managed to pick up a few periodicals with info on various 10mm's, but this has been pretty much a hit or miss proposition. Thanks to Mik over at "The 10mm Firearms Page" though we have access to a detailed list of numerous gun magazines that include articles on firearms chambered for the 10mm. Mik has been good enough to share this list with me so I can post the information here.

If you know of an magazine article that I haven't listed please email me so I can add them to the list (and start looking for them myself!). Please include the name of the magazine, the article title, author and what page it can be found on. Have fun!

* NOTICE - The following information is correct to the best of my knowledge. However, if you are looking to buy any of these magazines it is up to YOU to ensure that the article you are looking for is in it. *

Association Of Firearm And Tool Mark Examiners Firearm Article Database

Austin Chang was kind enough to send me an interesting article from a Japanese gun magazine titled "Gun." The July 1990 article "10mm Auto Lineup" is written by Jack (last name unknown) and covers five 10mm pistols including the Bren Ten, Colt Delta Elite, Smith & Wesson 1006, Springfield Armory Omega and the AMT Javelina.

Now of course the text will not be of much use to most of us as we don't read Japanese, but there are quite a few great pictures in the article, many of which are large and in color. All in all it is a very interesting piece, even for those of us who can't read it! I have provide links below to each page. Enjoy!
