I don't want an M&P in any chambering.

Why not? The more the merrier ��.
it would be in a .45 frame, so no it wouldn't
I remain somewhat puzzled by the 10mm, a rimless cartridge (almost) equivalent to a .41 magnum. The cartridge is accurate and powerful enough for hunting, but many of the platforms chambering it suffer from "a 100yd cartridge in a 40 yard gun for accuracy." A revolver in .41 mag is more accurate for hunting.
So if not hunting, what then is the purpose, self defense? The ones I have shot zip right through anything simulating a human, and expend most of their energy on what lies beyond the target. If loaded down, it becomes a .40 S&W in power. So maybe defense from big angry predators is the best use for a 10mm semi auto?
Unfortunately, the most common use I have seen is destroying objects on the range and giggling like Beavis at the power, blast, and destruction, which certainly is a fun use for a range toy.
No, I would not want one in an M&P.

I'd buy two maybe three, just cause I know it would be a very short production. Just like the 32mag, 327, 310 and 610, 646... And to a lesser extent even the 3rd gen 10mm pistols. Good luck talking S&W into it.

And Smith & Wesson should bring back the 357 sig M&P too the competition has it Sig P320 and Glock 31 Gen 4 it wound be sweet in a M&P 2.0
The 10mm auto just may very well be the ultimate pig hunting gun . The big 10 will drop a big hog dead in it's tracks. And if one charges you you can pump out the rounds with the auto loader.

Why does the A-10 have the GAU-8? Because it's awesome and destroys everything. I would like that option in an M&P. Would make an excellent camping gun. Easier to holster and carry an M&P than a 41 mag revolver. I love my 629 but it's too freakin huge/heavy. I have a 1076 FBI but I would hate myself for life if something happened and I lost it on the 4 wheeler.

Only about a thousand times. People have been clamoring for a 10mm since the inception of the M&P. Alas, that group is far too small to make any money for S&W.
Of course I also said they wouldn't make a .45 Shield and they did. So, I may be wrong, but I think the market is too small for a 10mm M&P.
It's difficult to control and therefore, difficult to get back on target. This is one reason the .40S&W was invented.
I'd buy one. I don't need it, but I would want one if it was manufactured.
I like having one gun.....
...that can kick my butt. The 686 serves well in both target poot loads and artillery and anything in between.
I would be pretty limited with a 10mm, I think. Not as versatile, which is important to me. So I'm going to pass.

I'd like the option of having a second barrel in .357 SIG, just a hopped up 9mm+P. Don

1911 in 10mm for me...
Why not? More m.e. than 9, 40 and 45 Super; and more magazine capacity than low pressure legacy cartridge, too. This is the perfect round for when I don't want to feel under-muzzleenergized and/or under-capacitized. I call the 10mm the 40 Strong, and I like the way I feel when I carry it in the real world. Maximum m.e. to cartridge size ratio, in classic sidearms, Yes!
