S&W has just released the M&P in 10mm.
I have a case of kinda-wants.
But an alternative that's just as alluring to me has occurred.
.38 Super.
It needs a pistol that takes the longer overall length that .45 ACP and 10mm have.

Glock and S&W both make a .45/10mm versions of their plastic fantastic pistols now.
There's no reason that they don't make a .38 Super variation except a perceived lack of interest. Really just need a new barrel and magazine.
I think I shall write a letter or an email.
I think a .38 Super M&P would be delightful as the .45 version fits my hand well.
If you’re going to go big, and obscure, 9x23 is where it’s at.
ReplyDeleteIf they make the .38 Super then 9x23mm is simple.
Delete.38 Super is positively mainstream by comparison.
There are companies that make Glock caliber conversion barrels. I don't know of any that do .38 Super though. There are ones like .40 S&W to .357 Sig or 9x19. No reason I can see that they couldn't do a 10mm to .38 Super like you say, if there was a market for it.
ReplyDeleteThe problem will be magazines. .38 Super is narrower than 10mm, so even if you have a barrel, you're going to need a magazine with a narrower mouth.
