I had Bren Ten in .45acp. It was two toned like Ken's pistol but was marked Special Forces on the slide. Thank you for making this video!

I was on the NRA BOD in the 70-80s and served with Col. Cooper. After a Seattle meeting we along with two other members of the BOD went to Yakatat, AK that was operated by Ken Fanning who also served on the BOD. Col. Cooper brought his Bren Ten to hunt brown bear with Ken who was an AK guide. They did not harvest one. I went fishing on that river. He was a wealth of knowledge and glad I had the experience to spend time with him and serve on the BOD.

I’ve been lusting for one since 1986. Only saw one in person once at a gun show in the 90s. It was two grand then. Can only imagine what it’s worth now.

I didn’t even know I won the VM2 holster. Should have watched this video all the way to the end. Anyway, I’d like to donate it back so that someone else can get the chance to win this mighty fine holster. I have many Milt Sparks holsters to include the famous VM2.

When are we going to see Ken back on the Wilson Combat channel? I own a 9mm M&P with a Holosun optic…. even though I carry my .45 caliber 1911 more… and I was not offended by what Ken said. It’s not like Ken tried to call for a ban on optics and lights. Come back to work, Ken! There are many of us who miss you and Mossad!

I don't work for Wilson Combat so I can't really speak for that... but if Ken worked for ACW, I wouldn't have benched him LOL.

@Apathesis0 Did the build several years ago. I think that was about the only red dot C-more offered at the time. Most of the Tangfolio's shooting competition was running them. I like it being frame mounted VS. slide mounted. Racking the first round can be a PIA when running a 22lb spring.

The Bren Ten was a Good Idea but the Wrong Execution with many of the features that they put into the pistol. I would love to see someone take the IDEA of what the BREN TEN was supposed to be and build it with all the Corrections that the Original Bren Ten would need to be a SUCCESSFUL Combat Pistol. I believe that the SIG P220 10mm Legion is the BEST 10mm Pistol currently in Production and if the Lessons from the Original Bren Ten and concepts from pistols like the SIG P220 10mm are used to ENHANCE the Original Bren Ten a Hybrid Pistol that has the General Looks of the Bren but has the better Trigger, Reduced Felt Recoil and Improved Ergonomics of the SIG. I would love to see SIG bring back the P227 with a Steel Frame and put the P220 10mm 5 inch Match Barrel and Slide which would transform the P220 from an 8 plus One to a 15 plus One 10mm Auto Pistol.
