Or have they? I don't know if this has already been discussed, but one would think that a company with a rep for powerful handguns would have at sometime put out a 10mm. Was just wondering.

Powerful is relative. As compared to 44 Magnum, 45-70, 454 Casull, 500 Magnum, 444 Marlin, 475 Linbaugh, 460 S&W Magnum, 480 Ruger, Rowland 460, and a host of others.... the 10mm seems somewhat anemic. I love my 10mm 1911's but they'll never qualify as "hand canons" in my book.

I doubt that the Baby Desert Eagles in 9mm, .40 cal, and .45 ACP would qualify as "hand cannons" either, but their offered.
I was always hoping they would make a 10mm magnum into the desert eagle line. I mean if there is a 357 magnum and a 44 magnum they are right inline with it. It should even be easier since there is no lip on the cartridge.
;D
In the Baby I could see one but... they are kind of ugly ???
The Desert Eagle is just way overkill for the 10mm.
The Mangum Research IMI Desert Eagle does have a .41 Magnum, which last I checked, is considered a 10 mm caliber cartridge. It also comes in .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .440 Cor-Bon and .50 AE. There is a .357/44 Bain & Davis prototype, which I'm not familiar with.

The 41mag and the 10mm are close, however the 10mm is .40, the 41 is a true .410
ps.10mm is not a caliber

10mm is as much of a "caliber" as .41 or .410 (same thing). "10mm Auto" is not a caliber. Neither is ".41 Remington Magnum". They are cartridges. "10mm caliber cartridge" is a correct term, if that is in fact, what it is, or how it is commonly or affectionately referred. Despite the fact that the 10mm/.40SW is actually 10.16mm, it is commonly (and affectionately, at least here) referenced as "10mm". ".38 caliber" is very common, but can actually mean any number of calibers or "caliber cartridges" from .334" to .415".
Strangely enough, but dictionary definition of the term caliber, 10mm is one and neither .40 or .410 are.
The dictionary says caliber is the internal bore diameter of a barrel. The 10mm Auto bore diameter is .394", which is exactly 10mm. The bullets we use for 10mm are .400", or 10.16mm, in diameters. So the .40 S&W reports the bullet diameter, which by dictionary definition is not the caliber of the guns that shoot 40 S&W.
Same is true for 41 magnum. The bullets are .410" in diameter, but the bore of the gun is .404", so it is actually .404 caliber.
All that said, this is just semantics, and I doubt it has anything to do with Magnum Research offering a 10mm.
My thought is that the beauty of the Desert Eagle is that it shoots a rimmed cartridge. The 10mm lacking said rim may cause a slight engineering problem, kind of a different world with a rimless cartridge. The size of the DE would require a single stack magazine, not going to sell many with that size and weight especially with the large amount of 10mm 1911's out there. The Baby Eagle is too small, so they would have to design a new gun for just the 10mm. Probably not cost efficient.
I would buy one if they made one
