I don't see the need for redundant calibers in every pistol. I'd prefer new firearms specific to a caliber as we see in some of the Magnum revolvers. There's no need for an XD in 10mm because they already make an XD in 45 ACP and 9mm. I'd much rather Springfield come out with an entirely new platform for 10mm, maybe a target gun like the high end tanfoglios. 10mm is best for target shooters. Self defense and hunters are best served with 9mm or .45acp.

This is just incorrect. While the 9mm and 45 acp have thieir strengths, neither are on the level of 10mm. You should look into the numbers.

What does more damage? A freight train going 45 miles per hour or a bus going 60 mph? Obviously the train. The 45acp is a train, the 10mm is a bus. The 10mm is a flat shooter, good for professional shooters at organized events. There's a reason cops don't use it. Cops use .40, 9mm and .45acp. The reason is obvious to professional shooters like me. I shoot 10mm religiously in competition. Never for self defense, never for hunting. 45acp is just better hands down. I wouldn't shoot anything but 10mm for competition, but in self defense 9mm or 45acp all day.

Your analogy is flawed. A 10mm has the capability to be the train at 75mph.

Nice try. You don't seem to know much about firearms, your 10mm knowledge needs updating. Have you ever really owned one or are you just a fanboy? I doubt you've ever shot 10mm.

10mm for deer? I'd prefer something with power like .45acp or speed like a 9mm. 10mm is best for target shooting in my opinion.
