| Anyone ever heard of this gun? I have a chance to pick up a 5 inch model that is ported for 500 bucks. I dont know anything about this gun and i cant find anything online about the price/worth of it. The gun is in GREAT shape but has no box. Any info would be great. THANX |

I had a 6" ported 10mm Omega, dual extractor back around 1991 or so. Was not reliable out of the box-FTE.
A trip back to the factory did not fix it. But a local smith worked with me and followed my suggestions concerning spring tension. We got it to work quite well. Sadly, this is one I traded away and should have kept. edit: www.bren-ten.com/website/id56.html <––- good link. Thanks. The recoil rod assembly was a potential weak point. |

I saw one at a gun show a few months ago at a booth where the guy was basically selling junk. It was tucked away in the corner. I had never heard of them until that day. I was very tempted. It looked like a neat gun, but I wasn't sure if I could get mags or if the guns actually worked. I kind of wished I had gotten it. It looked brand new and he wanted $500 I think.
Hopefully Colt's new Delta will come out soon... |

I have an SA OMEGA with the 6" ported bbl, and fortunately for me it was one of the last runs SA made for them so the problems of the early models were worked out, and then they stopped selling them due to legal issues with the Peters Stahl company that made the uppers. Some legal patent mumbo jumbo that they couldn't get past. Really a shame because these were remakable guns, and accurate as a custom target pistol.
I am so happy I still have mine. The 10mm is an excellent round, and out of this gun, there is no equal IMHO.. I love it..
