The Vltor Fortis is a updated clone of the Bren Ten 10mm Auto pistol (Which itself was a CZ 75 clone). It was announced last year at SHOT. This year a final production model has been on display. It will be available in both 10mm AUTO and .45 ACP. It should be on sale later this year (2009).

    Well it has been literally years since I last even thought about this "project".
    I have sold off ALL my 10 mm pistols, have no 10mm ammo and have given up on the cartridge as a whole.
    I thought this "project" would bring the cartridge back into the public light, but instead it has thrown another shovel full of dirt into the grave.
    I have instead bought MORE 38 Super ammo and kept my nicer pistols.
    Would not hesitate to buy a nice 38 Super. Would never again buy another
    10mm.
    ‘fortis’ has done the 10mm a disfavor.

    So it has been some time now since the promise of a new 10 mm pistol.
    In the last year or so I have given up on the 10mm. I have sold my colts off because I fear they will be of less value than when I had bought them.
    Vltor Fortis did the 10mm NO favor. A promise that is seemingly broken with no news and no pistols.
    I have just moved on and am both sad and bewildered that little has been done to promote such a unique cartridge as the 10 mm.
