M&P 10mm?

Morning Bongo Boy, as for the switch back to 9's, I'm pretty sure it has more to do with follow up shots, as well as overall controllably, and not so much to do with cost
Thanks

There are several factors for law enforcement to switch back to 9mm:
Less likely collateral damage or injury should innocent people be hit or struck by stray shots.  That would include other officers working in close quarters.
Ammunition cost for training and actual carry supplies.  Uniformity of ammo is also factored into this where ammo could be shared across agencies.
9mm ammo has under gone some changes and testing protocol for better performance for the standards.
Firearms & Ammo are lighter & smaller, so that adds to carrying more ammo and firearm capacity with less weight to the officers.
Law enforcement has the duty to bring the perps to justice and not kill them.
Law enforcement agencies have the benefit of having multiple officers to bring the perps down, whereas the average person doesn't have the luxury at the time of protective measures!

As much as we would like to see a new offering from S&W chambered in 10mm, I do NOT see them stepping out of there comfort zone to do so!

This post is a revival of an old topic. That said, S&W refuses to offer a 10MM caliber handgun. S&W has done this in the past. The S&W .45/.45 Schofield was a short version of the .45 Colt.  The S&W .45 would not survive long after 1875. S&W would in time wake up and chamber a .45 Colt revolver. I expect they will awaken to a  10MM caliber firearm once more.

For all those talking followup ability, I don't notice much difference in recoil between my Glock 20 and my M&P 2.0 9mm. That said, I notice most 10mms are much heavier than the G20...is a build like the G20 not suitable?

Ammo cost: on most sites today, 10mm is comparable to 9mm.

[Kenk]

That's one of the many reasons I like my RIA and Sig P220, as these weighty weapons soak up a lot of the recoil

If S&W is holding off to make a semi auto 10mm because they currently offer 40SW, then they are missing the point. 10mm is increasing on popularity while demand for 40SW during these crazy times has remained high. Seems to me they can't lose.

I would vote for M&P CORE 10mm as companion to my 610. In suggest they name it 1006C. Double stack DA/SA.

My 2 cents.   

[Kenk]

Absolutely

I troll SW on Twitter whenever they post anything, basically asking them for a 10mm semiauto. It would sell so well; people want more striker fire 10mm choices. Not everyone is into 1911.

[Kenk]

Absolutely 😀

so today on Twitter, S&W posts their stupid 'Wheelgun Wednesday' with an 8 round (& probably 8 pound) revolver. Again, I trolled their tweet about a 10mm semi, that prob would sell better anyway.

[Kenk]

Totally would, I'd pick one up in a heartbeat

here's some serious hope that Smith & Wesson may yet give us 10mm: https://www.fieldandstream.com/guns/old-handgun-cartridges/#h-5-the-40-s-w-the-fbi-kills-its-own-baby
