Any reason there are no xds/shield’s in 10mm?

I failed to mention that these being semi-autos we are discussing there would probably be problems with magazines if you try and use 40's in a 10!! Not so much 38's in a 357.I was aware of the 40 in a 10 thing, but I would not advise it, not to mention the 40 would probably not have the recoil impulse to 'reliably' make a 10 function properly.

Probably?... not really.

Prove it.
Fire several hundred rounds WITH OUT a malfunction and then let us know how well a 40 will function in a 10.

I think as long as you had a grip large enough to get your whole grip on, it might actually be a relatively comfortable shooter. Something more like the G48 than like the XDs.

Why? I don't think anyone is condoning using 40 in a 10mm for defensive purposes. If it functions MOST of the time for cheap range plinking, what does it matter if its 100% reliable?
The entire point was to your 38 to 357 comment, which was a cheaper less recoiling option to shoot. Which is pretty well the same. shooting 38's in a 357 exclusively comes with its own set of problems.

Personally I'd just down load my 10mm to 40 S&W levels for urban carry if this gun existed. As long as the gun functioned...…………….

Correct you are Grasshopper.
The point being you can't compare apples to oranges. Well I have, as hundreds of thousands of others, been shooting 38's in a 357' WITH NO SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS FOR DECADES.

At about $12 a box for .40 S&W, if you pay me the $170 to prove you wrong, I'm your huckleberry...

I did not think you could prove it!!! As the say 'ONE EXCUSE IS AS GOOD AS ANOTHER'!

I have 20,000+ round of 40S&W through a 10mm Auto. Never had a problem.

ETA: In a semi-auto handgun, I would not carry 40S&W in a 10mm Auto into "harms way". That said it would not concern me using 40S&W in a 10mm semi-auto to save money to train, practice, and compete and then for excursions into "harms way" switch to the 10mm.

1st things 1st. Get Springfield to start making the xds in 4 inch barrel. They stopped last year. Only the 3.3 is being made.

Thank you, and you are proving my point. We were talking about the 38/357 compared to the 40/10. The 38 is COMPLETELY reliable/dependable in a 357 so I would take in 'in harms way' with no concerns, but, I like you, would not even consider going in harms way with my 10 stoked with 40 ammo!!View attachment 893880

40S&W in a 10mm is better than a sharp stick though.Thank you, and you are proving my point. We were talking about the 38/357 compared to the 40/10.

I can't help it. Every time I see this thread title, "Any reason there are no xds/shield’s in 10mm?," I think the same thing.
Because wrist fusion should only be performed by qualified medical professionals.

Because the manufacturers market research doesn't lead them to believe it would be profitable. Simple as that.
