Because Strangeday is such a generous person 
Price
The price is not all that bad considering they are new in the box, unfired and definitely a collectors item, with the spare mags which are supposedly as plentiful as hen's teeth. I know that if I had the funds I would try to purchase the pair of them. The brainchild of Jeff Cooper in co-operation with Dornaus & Dixon.

and of course Sonny had his Detonics as back up
ah....the Detonics Mk VI......sweetness
Didn't the Miami Vice fags switch to S&W 645's later on? Much more affordable then the Bren 10's.....

I must be the only who doesn't get the whole Bren Ten hype. The pistol looks butt-ugly to me. There, I said it
C'mon it's very CZ'ish & certainly was well ahead of it's time...
Strangeday, will you be carrying that Detonics in the US? or are you going to look for an original ASP? You're probably the only guy on here who would carry either of those, the rest of us would just put them in the safe and fondle them regularly.

[edit] Miami Vice and the Bren Ten
The Bren Ten is perhaps most notable for having been Sonny Crockett's pistol in the television series Miami Vice. He wore it in the first and second season of the show - except in the pilot episode, where he used a SIG-Sauer P220 - from 1984 to 86. The two Bren Tens used in the show were customized, applying chrome to the slide in order to make it more visible during night scenes. (Reportedly, the guns were altered to fire .45 ACP blanks, a modification that led to numerous malfunctions during filming.)
The highly popular show generated intense interest in the pistol, although the company was not able to deliver on this demand. Many Bren Ten owners became irate upon seeing that a Hollywood studio apparently had access to multiple Bren Ten magazines while their pistols had been delivered without them. When the company went bankrupt, the product placement position went up for grabs, being filled by the Smith & Wesson 645, and later the Smith & Wesson Model 4506.
