Akin to the nuclear powered automobile.
It takes more time for VLTOR to figure out how to make a Bren Ten pistol, than it takes Newport News Shipbuilding to construct a nuclear powered aircraft carrier! |

I'm curious as well...
Someone posted about it on thehighroad.org on 10/28/10 about how he had already prepaid for 2 of them and was calling Vltor to find out whats going on. "Today I talked to Vltor on the phone about the pistol. First I was told to contact the distributor for information. Well, I felt that that was a way to get me off the phone and leave them alone, so I persisted. Why not get the information from the source, them?? After a pause, while the nice lady on the phone talked to someone else, I was told they are not even working on the pistols." http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-551832.html The didn't show their Bren 10 at Shot 2011 or mention anything about it either right? Doesn't look good, doubt it will be any time soon if ever.

Vaporware.
I pre-ordered one Feb. of '10 on the first day you could do so. They were originally giving a release date of May. May came and went with no guns. They then gave a release date of July. July came and went with no guns. I canceled my order and got my money back, as did a lot of folks. I kept up a little over on the Bren Ten forums and found out they were giving a new release date of October or November. That was six months ago and still no guns. I would be surprised if they ever get released. |

Are there not many of the originals? I can't recall ever seeing one in person, though that doesn't say much. The gun shops around here are....not very good, I'll say to be nice, and I don't really do the gun show thing so.....nope never. BD

The original company never made that many of them, maybe a few thousand from what I've heard.

They'll never make it to market.
If you want one, get a Tangfolio, but they can be hit or miss. |

There's no lack of companies willing to make gear for the military, VLTOR simply chose the more lucrative contract. I don't blame them for it, but let's be honest, it was a money decision. |

As someone else said, there are plenty of companies who make military gear. |

It would be a different matter if they had of said "We make military equipment and have no time for the civilian market", but the took pre-orders and then never delivered. I think the military is more important than another 10MM (which I wanted), but taking money and never delivering is a bad business practice.

Throwing the military into this situationis just stupid. Obviously they let their mouths overload their a**es. They need to man up and handle this in a professional manner.

I really wanted one. I read their stupid blog all the time to see when they would be released. I also buy a lot of AR stuff. Needless to say I will not purchase any vltor shit from now on. Thanks for pissing me off.

Have a 6 inch 610 myself. Glock has the 20 and 29 in both fs and sf versions, EA makes a 10mm and you have a few 1911s from various vendors. I have a sw 1006 and 610, colt delta elite, and glock 20fs(sf wasn't out when I got mine). I was looking forward to the new ben ten if they got it out at a fair price. Gave up on them a while ago. If Sig would only make a factory p220 in 10mm or if I could get a M&P 10mm based off their M&P45 I'd be happy. |

Engineering can be a juggling act of resources. Qualified designers, assembly line, QA, facilities, money, time. It is not necessarily in sync with marketing. Business landscapes are ever changing. Management comes and goes. For the most part, a company is going to make decisions based on what is good for the company. This does include customer satisfaction and I'm sure they don't wish to alienate people, but profitability is a necessity. I suspect they thought they would, thought they might, wished they could, and finally threw in the towel. If a company says they are absolutely going to do something come hell or high water regardless of what is in their evolving best interest, you won't be buying anything from them. They won't be in business long.

Plenty of opportunity to state that it is a no go. If Vltor is such a successful military products company, why did they have to take deposits on the guns? Why not make them and bring them to market like everybody else? |

The only reason I wanted one because Sonny Crockett looked so cool using it way back on Miami Vice. Last one I saw was at a gunshow in the late 80s. I found this March 21, 2011 release on their website. Hell if I can figure out exactly what they're saying!

Ultimately, the consumer has to be cautious regarding their purchases of unknown and untested items. This is one of the reasons that certain highly reliable brands that continue to deliver get such praise. Also, before the internet was a large factor in providing info to buyers, this was a much thicker field of BS to waddle through. |
