will Smith & Wesson ever jump on the band wagon and make the M&P in 10mm? they were pioneers with the 10mm, their 1006 is still highly regarded. I have an M&P .40 S&W and it is one of the pistols that I shoot the best. I just wish it were a 10mm!
has anyone even heard of S&W making another 10mm pistol?

I would like one to go with my Sig P220. But I've heard rumors we will see a P320 in 10mm sooner than later.

I brought this up awhile ago. Some of the other members chimed in that they were pestering S&W about making a 10mm M&P, as well. After sending them several emails that all received basically an auto reply, it seems that S&W isn't all that interested in customer feedback on this issue.

Other than the 1000 series and the 610, I don't believe S&W has made any other 10mms. I've never seen one of their 1911s in 10mm.

Keep in mind they also created the 40S&W as a competitor and successor to the 10mm.

But we can hope.

I've wondered about this, too. Perhaps a cut off your nose to spite your face situation? .40s seem to be fading in popularity and 10s have been on the rise.

I really don't think it would be much in the way of altering the M&P .45 to make it happen.

Even as I wrote it I remembered they have the 610...

BEEMER!

The guys over at the S&W Forum have been on Smith for two years and have all but gave up.

Smith has shown no interest in the 10 for their M&P line.

what a pity. :'( thanks for the replies guys. I remember hearing about people calling S&W in the past. I guess I was hoping for some new good news. ::) too bad.
I also believe it would be easy for them to just modify the .45 M&P.

Bob, I bust Smith & Wesson's chops every time they post on FaceBook, asking about the M&P chambered in 10mm.   ???
I know it is on deaf ears but it does also allow others to also tag on to the post.  8)
S&W will not step out of that comfort zone to satisfy the needs of the true 10mm guys looking for this M&P 10mm. >:( 
Those who know the S&W10xx series pistols knew the robust tanks they were. ;D
Some day maybe!  ::) ::) ::)

If the XDM 10mm didn't get them to move on an MP 10mm, they likely never will.

Smith isn't interested in doing anything that is the slightest risk or unique. They only did the 610 cause they kept seeing the insane prices original 610s were commanding.

I think they also kinda got more afraid of stepping out of their comfort zone after they released that 22 pistol that requires an allen key to take down and ruger within weeks responded with the Mark  IV that requires no tools to take down and is way easier than the Mark III. Smith kinda got their own butt handed to themselves with that and they really haven't taken a risk that I am aware of since then.

All that said, I love my XDM, but I love my MP45C better. I'd buy an MP 10mm in a heartbeat. The only thing higher on my wish list would be a Phoenix (Sphinx founders) in 10mm.

I'd be all for a P320 in 10mm.  Especially a P320 X-Compact and an X5 Legion.

I would be all over a P320 and an M&P in 10mm!!

Just remember any 320 10mm will be on a .45 frame. .45 FCU not the other 320 FCU
It's the OAL of the 10mm

S&W is a great American manufacturer. The S&W 1911 chambered in the 10MM would sell. They seemed to be resisting the 10 ?  Here in the Rocky Mtns. the 10MM is selling better than any other caliber.

Now everyone needs to contact S & W until they say, ok fine, we will offer one in 10mm 😀
