That youtube video already has 40k+ views. Good luck finding one of these pistols on the first or second run.
Given some of the past issues with the M&P line I wouldn?t want the first ones out of the gate.

Too little, too late. Have shot and/or owned Gluck, 1911 and XDM 10mms and found the XDM-10 is nearly perfect for me. A year or two ago maybe, but I have no need for the M&P anymore. What's my perfect 10mm you ask? Why it's a S&W, of course! The M610.

Yup - Makes sense to let others be the beta testers. The design and implementation look promising and hopefully won't require any tweaking since its based on an already-refined platform.

Same here.  Let it percolate, wait for any recalls to happen, get in on the 3rd or 4th wave.

Maybe even find one second hand when people realize that its expensive to shoot factory ammo.

They are already on the 3rd gen platform of the M&P line.  The past issues of the V1 M&P's wouldn't discourage me if I were in the market.

That said, I do think they have a challenge as they are very late to the party.   But I said the same thing about the XDm.

I do think the 4" hits a sweet spot no one else fills with a 10mm.

I would agree re the current generation of M&Ps and the 4" version. I could definitely see myself buying the 4" version and installing low profile night sights, preferably adjustable.

I was able to get my hands on one today and had a limited shooting session. Ammo and time were both in short supply.

That said, if feels good, shoots good, and the brass is not launched into low orbit. I like it and have an order in for one.

I find it too funny that S&W finds now's the time to drop a 10mm!  :o
I suppose ammo is kinda, sorta, returning to at least being on shelves.. Albeit at a much higher price point.
A lot more first time gun owners out there, the market was pretty hot.. Although it's starting to slow down.
Smith did post the industry's first Billion Dollar year, and decided to move to Tennessee  :)

All of that aside.. Smith's presser seen here
https://www.smith-wesson.com/article/mp-10mm

someone wrote this:

"The average grain weight of a 9mm bullet is around 115 grains, and the average 10mm is around 180 grains. Making the 10mm bullet 63% heavier of a round over the 9mm, that one digit millimeter difference, is really the equivalent of 63% more mass.

Now, you might also be familiar with .45 ACP, a long-standing low velocity, high powered round. Surprisingly enough, the 10mm and the .45 look an awful lot alike when you put them side by side, they?ll pack a similar punch but perform in different ways. The muzzle velocity of .45 is 840 feet per second, versus the 10mm?s 1008 feet per second."

Whoever the hell wrote that should be fired! Maybe they're thinking of .40 Short & Weak.. Even a quick glance at this list of factory loads shows that the majority of real 10mm isn't 1008fps, especially @ 180gr.. What kind of watered down b.s. are they loading up?

Just poking fun :) I'm glad a there's another one to add to the fold. I'll pick one up once I get bored with the 9x25 I just built. Probably second hand from someone who was misinformed at a local gun store, bought it, shot it twice, and needs the money for something "more manageable"  8)

...wonder if S&W came out with a 10m now because of declining sales of the M&P line in .40 S&W....

I'm glad to see they put suppressor height sights and a optic mount on it. that way the irons can co witness with the dot sight. for a while, I had a Vortex Venom on my XDm 10mm. it was great in that my accuracy improved when shooting with it but I had problems acquiring the dot in fast situations. ie. I had a hog trot by my stand and before I could find the dot he was gone! :-[ I would have never used it for dangerous game or self defense. with co witnessing iron sights, I wouldn't have that problem. all the more reason I want one! :P

I'll look, but I'm inclined to keep my XDM 5.25.  Polished bore and feed ramp are made for handloaders.  All M&P so far feature duty grade bores designed for jacketed bullets, i.e. no polish.   G20 does not have standard rifling.
