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

I looked into the HTA Hi-Point setup but was concerned about gas blowback in a bullpup being a lefty.. Looks rad though and for $500 total can't be beat. As for mags any .45 aftermarket mag and drum can be made to work with a little feed lip tweaking.. the double stack to single stack/feed is hi-points downfall.. But then again HTA said they would address this with a proprietary magazine if they sold enough stocks.

Ronin if you don't mind me asking whats your HP/HTA setup weigh?
I'm left handed.  No gas blowback from the HTA setup.  Also, the brass deflector does an excellent job of keeping spent casings from hitting me in the face.  Weight-wise it's a little over 7lbs.  Not light, not heavy, but in the compact bullpup stock, it feels heavier than it is.  Once it's in your shoulder, however, no issues.
My only gripe is the trigger.  The stock I got does not have the adjustable trigger.  Apparently HTA stopped selling them because people kept screwing with it and making the trigger worse.  The trigger on my Hi Point wasn't great in stock form.  Putting it in the HTA stock didn't improve anything.  If anything it probably made the trigger heavier.  I'm planning to get the MCARBO trigger spring kit for it and see if that helps.
Overall it's a fun range toy.  I may use it in a PCC match at some point.  It could definitely be used for HD/SD, but I have other guns for that.

I put mine in a High Tower Armory Bullpup Stock.  Runs great.  Very low recoil for a blowback gun.  My Ruger PC Carbine in 9mm has heavier recoil than my 10mm Hi Point in the HTA stock.  Can't speak to the difference between the original stock and the HTA.  Never shot it in stock format.

I have been looking for a reasonably priced one for some time, apparently I need to up my willing to pay amount
The days of finding a 1006 for <$500 is long over for the most part.  You might luck out and find someone who doesn't know or care what they have and price it the same as a .45 or 9mm 3rd gen S&W.  The OP paying $650 was lucky.  Expect to pay $800+.

All of the 5.25" XDm's have the cutout on the slide...

Thanks Ronin.  So, the slide cutout is 'standard' on the XDm's?  I guess I was looking at 5.25"ers that weren't XDm's (I admit that I don't know a lot about the XD pistols).

Sam
Specifically the 5.25" XDm pistols.  The shorter versions of the XDm do not have the cutout.

All of the 5.25" XDm's have the cutout on the slide.  My 9mm that I use for competition does, as does my 5.25 in .45.  Never had a problem with dust and dirt when using for competition, and I've put thousands of rounds through both.  And I don't detail clean my comp guns; just wipe down and spray on lube when needed.  If you're worried about it being an issue for carry, be diligent about keeping it clean.

10mm revolvers / Re: The match champion 10mm

These work just as well and only cost $9/10 - Ranch Products Moonclips.

Not quite sure how you head space a 40sw in a 10mm correctly with a moon clip. 10mm and 40 both head space on the case mouth. That would mean each round would have to have a stand with some sort of firing pin extension mechanism inside the cylinder behind the round to make up the difference between a cylinder cut for 40sw and one cut for 10mm.

Unlikely.
There's enough of a variance between the rim thickness of .40 S&W vs 10mm rounds to create a gap that can lead to light strikes.  The solution is to use a thicker moon clip with the Ruger GP100 when shooting .40 S&W.  The ones from TK work as advertised, but they're expensive at $80 for 10.  Ranch Products makes moon clips for the S&W 646 that will also work for all varieties of the 10mm GP100s.  They only cost $9 for 10, so that's a significant savings.  And they work with both .40 and 10mm.

Got one recently. Was disappointed with the moon clips that Ruger supplied although no tools are needed ( I do not want to pay $80.00 for 10 for the same copied clips, although they are thicker.) Already one of the clips will not hold a round and you have to hold it on the clip while you place it in the cylinder. Of course none of the clips I have for my 610 can be used on the GP. Contacted Ranch clips and found they had clips that were made for the S&W 646 but would fit the GP. $12.00 for 8 pp and they fit just fine. They  would not fit on the demooning tool I use for my 625 and 610 which is a breeze and removes 2 each time the handles are squeezed but I sanded the center post that the clip sits on and it works fine now.
Like  it but will need to get some grips that "fill-in" the concave portion of the frame that hits between my thumb and finger and that recoil  does not feel good. Will continue to shoot it by placing my "pinkie" under the handle. Got a line on some Pachmayrs as the Hogue grips for Super RH and GP will not fit this Ruger.
All in all, I like it and it seems to like pretty much any loads I  used yesterday-BD, BE, AA7.
Midway has the 646 moo clips for $8.99.  I bought two sets for my 10mm GP100 and they work great with both 10mm and .40 S&W.  Also, any GP100 grip will fit any GP100 regardless of caliber.  I replaced the wood grip that came with my Lipsey's GP100 with the Hogue grip that comes with the .44 special GP100.  Zero issues with the fit.

10mm revolvers / Re: 5” GP100 10mm

I bought one last month.  My LGS had one, didn't even know this existed.  Ruger still doesn't have it listed on their site.  I was going there to buy the MC in 10MM, and I saw what looked like a Security Six with a 10MM tag.  Sold! Love the classic lines, but I switched out the wood grip for a Hogue fingerless grip.  I've only had it to the range once, but it ran both 10MM and .40S&W with the included moon clips.  Only had one FTF with the .40S&W, but it fired on the next go round.  Bought some of the thicker moonclips from TK Custom.  Hoping to get some time to try them out in a week or two.

General Discussion / Re: 10mm M&P ??
August 17 2018 12:02:55 PM MDT
I'm not sure I'd want a 10mm M&P.  I have one in .357 Sig and it's not pleasant to shoot.  I can only imagine how much more recoil you'll feel from a 10.  I've shot a Glock 20 and 29 before and didn't like those either, especially the 29.  My 1076, on the other hand, I'll shoot all day with heavy loads.

Received the new Hogue rubber grips without the finger grooves today...a much better feel.  Hope to get out next week and try them..

Curious to know what you thought of the fingerless Hogue grips.  I believe they're the same ones that Ruger includes with the .44 Spcl GP100.  If so, they should do a nice job of taming the recoil.

$1800 and no magwell?  My plain old .45 TRP has one and I paid nearly half as much as they're asking for the 10mm.  Here I was hoping for an XDm in 10mm, though the XDM 45 I have isn't the most pleasant gun to shoot.

Ah hell with it... Just give me a 7 or 8 shot Redhawk in 10mm, dammit.

;D
