If your thinking 10mm in a revolver take it to the next level and go to 41 magnum. With some hunting you could find astainless redhawk factory chambered in 41 have it chopped to whatever length you want and still be spending way less then a custom 10mm. With what your going to lose between barrel length and cylinder gap your going to probable be down near 40 s+w instead of true 10mm ballistics. Only real advantage with the revolver is no possible feeding issues.
Plus one on this idea. Cheers NC

Nice! One of the other ones I considered is a New Model Vaquero .357 frame converted to 10mm and Clement's S&W style rear sight and his pinned on front sight.
That's a NICE model 28 S&W ! Was it converted to .38 WCF ? Never seen one in that caliber.
I've had one of the Ruger Buckeye Sports Specials in 38-40 / 10mm for a long time. Never clocked it for velocity, over a chrono, but it's a very accurate handgun.
"Allways speak the truth and you will never have to remember what you said before..." Sam Houston Texans, "We say Grace, We Say Mam, If You Don't Like it, We Don't Give a Damn!"
I think I have found a perfect GP100 for the conversion. It is the stainless Wiley Clapp version with 3" barrel and Novak sights. Looking at 8 to 12 month turnaround. I should probably spring for an action job while he has it.
Convert the Clapp version to the one that will take moon clips and fire all the .355"-.358" rimmed, semi-rimmed, and rimless rounds (.380 to .357Magnum).
You still haven't indicated what your preferred use for this rig would be. Form follows function.

I just bought a S&W Model 69 .44 Mag to hunt with and my daily carry gun for the past year has been a RIA 10mm which I have also used for deer and pigs. I am really leaning toward the Ruger 10mm conversion as another carry gun. Plus I have never had a custom handgun and I will be turning 50 next year and by the time it will be complete it will be a nice birthday present.
The GP is a heavy piece to carry daily. However, wanting a "semi-custom" I can understand.
I can't see giving up a 1911 as a carry piece for a GP, as it won't carry nearly as well. Then again, neither would a Glock or a 1006, so if it's a 10 you're sold on, then why not?

I have a G20 and a 1076, but when I come across a G40, i'll have a hard time resisting. I guess I just don't get having a revolver chambered for an auto cartridge, but I'd like to try JCM's idea of the 4.2" SP101 to a 5 shot/moon clipped 10mm, purely for R&D of course.
Guns don't kill people, drivers with cell phones kill people.
I have ordered a stainless GP100 .38 Spcl with 3 inch barrel and adjustable sights to send to Clements. The finished product should look something like this:
