Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Looks like S&W is getting back into the 10mm market

Saw posted on their website that they have four new models in 10mm coming out in their M&P product line! I personally really enjoy the 10mm and am happy to see them get back in with some 15-round capacity offerings!

It's awesome. Saw the notice posted another gun forum. FBI 10mm's were S&W's and Smith offered 10mm in a revolver but for some reason, they thought it best not to offer a modern/plastic semi-auto 10mm while the rest of the US gun companies filled the demand. So glad to see them back in the 10mm game. I think they should have offered a 4" and 5", not a 4" and 4.6", but other than that I think they look good. I'd put on adjustable night sites on the 4" model and consider a red dot on the longer barrel model. I'm 50/50 on the manual safety.

A long slide to compete with the g40 would have been cool.

But I might have to pick one up regardless

Wish they would make one in .38 super.

I would like to see them go retro: bring back the 1006 by way of the Performance Center. Give it the same treatment they did the 4506 to make the 945: Single action only with 1911 controls. I have a 945…it would be a great platform for the 10mm.

Rather have a 1006 but may be interested in a MP 10mm?

Time for the 10mm Rimmed / .400 S&W on a 686 frame. Moon clips for 10mm Auto. You heard it here first.

Smith has offered the 610 for while now. Mooned clipped 10mm. It’s 686 styled but on a N frame, not K frame.

While I am a fan of the 3rd generation Smith’s I’m glad to see all the M&P 10mm models. The CORE Pro looks very interesting.

Just put in my order for a 4” without the safety and a couple extra Mags with my local dealer. Hopefully the wait won’t be too long. At least S&W is not like Ruger used to be where they would announce something and then may or may not come out with it eventually

I've never shot a 10mm, but it must have something power wise going for it in a semi-auto handgun. I'm not sure what the two cowboys on the TV Mountain Man show use, but I sure suspect that it is a striker fired 10mm. Last week they had an episode where one of them rode his horse along side a running buffalo and gunned it with his semi-auto. Then later in the week they showed the same guy knocking off a bear with that handgun as it ran up a hillside. Impressive.

Sounds like a great choice.

With 15+1 rounds and at 27.8 oz empty that is a great woods gun. I was wondering if the M&P Shield would ever be chambered in the 10mm.....if so I'm a buyer. However I was out with my 45ACP Shield ver 1 yesterday testing some middle of the road reloads 230g and noticing that this shooter lets me know when I touch it off. I think I'll revisit tomorrow with some hot 45ACP reloads and see how it behaves. I think I'll find out why it probably won't be offered in a Shield format for 10mm. Nuts.

FBI 10mm's were S&W's and Smith offered 10mm in a revolver but for some reason, they thought it best not to offer a modern/plastic semi-auto 10mm while the rest of the US gun companies filled the demand.




Plastic guns are junk and dangerous.
Smith payed Glock big money for saying that.
Then they payed Glock big money for ripping off their design.
Which was the Sigma!😂😂😂 Stole a greast design to build a POS!🤧🤧🤧

10mm is hot right now. They want in. It's bidness.

Got an email about it this morning.

They copied the Glock trigger safety on this one. They would have sold me if not for that. If I wanted a Glock, I'd buy a Glock.

Lol. Right. So you do not buy Springfield, Savage, Taurus, Ruger, CZ, FN, Canik, HK, Walther, Steyr…just to name few. Cross off all the plastic frame pistols too, Glock made that mainstream. While I like 1911’s and Colt SAA’s, times change.

M&P are a great line of pistols, I've gotten rid of all my glocks and now have several M&Ps.

I have sold all but 2 of my Glock and gone to M&P as well. I just shoot the M&P better.

well , I am dissapointed Smith put that big doongle thing on the trigger and with the goofy extra high sights

I was waiting for a SW 10 mm but count me out on this one

You can replace the trigger, and those suppressor sights are for optics which are the new hotness. I am trying to justify this new gun to myself and I am almost convinced my life will be unhappy till I have one. The Glocks, and I'm a fanboy didn't do it for me with the 10mm. Neither did the Springfield. The 1911's just didn't hold enough ammo. I think S&W will sell everyone they make.
