Manufactured c. 1984, the 'Special Forces' version of the Dornaus & Dixon Enterprises Inc. Bren Ten semi-automatic pistol was a part of a limited production run with a shorter 4 inch barrel and appropriately shortened slide. There was also a sub-configuration of this limited run called the 'Special Forces Light' that features a hard chrome plated slide, with an estimated production total of just 75 to include this example. While the use of a chromed slide Bren Ten by Don Johnson in Miami Vice is what put the Bren Ten on the map, most examples of chromed slides are the result of custom work, with the Special Forces Light being the only known version to leave the factory with this desirable feature. Features fixed white-dot blade front and adjustable white-dot notch rear sights, hard chrome plated slide, slide catch, and thumb safety, a "S" and "F" marked push-button safety in the slide under the rear sight, along with a polished finish on the sides of the frame contrasted with a matte finish on the ventral lines. The left of the slide is marked with "BREN TEN" and "SPECIAL FORCES", with the caliber and repeated model marking on the right side. The frame bears the serial number and "Jeff Cooper Raven" on the left side, with the Dornaus & Dixon Ent. inc. address and "PAT. PEND." marked on the right. Fitted with a pair of textured black polymer grips with the distinct "circled hourglass" Bren Ten logos.
Excellent plus, with bright and matte finish on the frame along with 99% original hard chrome plating retained on the slide, slide catch, and thumb safety, with some limited minor cycling wear and handling evidence. The grips are also excellent with limited minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
