10mm...

They can't keep up with production of the models they offer now and you want to add a model?:eek:


Seriously, I'm with you. If only...
 
May as well ask them to make a unicorn .

In my neck of the woods, 10mm full power ammo is unobtanium.I doubt I'm the only potential buyer in that condition.

Cant sell a gun to people who cant afford to feed it.
 
Why? Because! That's why!
I love this! This is exactly what the anti gun crowd doesn't get.

I want a 10mm M&P.
I want an 1874 Sharps in 45-70.
I want...well...another gun.

Why? Because I do. I don't need any of this stuff, but this is a free country and I want what I want. If you want lasers, lights, ghillie suits and scuba gear, I don't care. We can bicker about the value of all that stuff, but in the end, if you want it, just get it. You don't need a reason beyond, I want it.
 
I don't know about that. This past weekend I shot my buddy's Glock 10mm and it was one sweet shooting pistol!!
 
I often carry a 10mm handgun. I own a Colt Delta Elite, a Glock G20 SF, a Kimber Stainless Target II, and a Rock Island Armory TAC II. For around $550, the RIA is one great gun. The Glock G20 SF is my go-to gun for rural carry with fifteen plus one capacity and two spare magazines. Even during the worst of the panic buying, 10mm ammo was available here for around the same price as good defensive .45 ACP.
 
A 1006 or a 1066 is a pretty good handful if you fire full power ammo in them. I don't think I'd want a M&P in 10mm.

My Glock 29 with full power loads is not much different than my .40 Shield.
 
The current management is more about the money than what we want which means if cops are returning to the 9mm they'll build more M&P9s'. DOH! They want .40s' etc.
But if they did build an M&P10mm there'd be a vapor trail from my garage to the nearest gun shop!

I want a ten milli too! I have a powder blue ammo store that supplies whatever caliber I need and it's always open.
 
Full power 10mm ammo is easy to produce and quite affordable.
Not so.

Most ammunition/component companies have pared their product list for 2013 and still haven't caught up with current orders. I've seen no estimate of when the streamlined product lines will return to normal.

To produce 10mm, the companies would have to: take machinery off line, change the tooling, verify the tooling produces what it should, then start production. The cost of the lost production of the current product line would have to be added to the cost of the finished ammunition. This applies to the period of tooling change, 10mm production and the tooling change to return to whatever the machinery was producing previously.

Underwood usually has their full power 10mm FMJ in stock. ($27 last time I looked) With the shipping, it runs about the same as Remington UMC would cost in your LGS.

Besides seating depth and powder charge, what tooling would
have to be changed to go from .40 cal S&W to 10mm?
