Who makes a 10 mm besides glock I have a G 20 and really like the round
 
Colt has the Delta Elite. EAA has the Witness (not sure if it still is chambered). There are T/C barrels for it. S&W made a 10mm revolver at one time if not still.
 
Tanfoglio.

Steer clear of the polymer variety though, mine flexes the frame and jams. 8(
Works fine in the less powerful varieties though.
 
Get a Colt Delta or used S&W 1006, 1066, or other variation. The Colt is more graceful, the S&W more of a workhorse, but fairly slender.
 
Tanfoglio makes a cz75 clone in 10mm. I own one. It shoots quite nicely, and has the same felt recoil as my XD45c. They are imported by EAA as the Witness line.

There is a problem with the witness, however. The magazines tend to like to stick. From my experience and research, it is due to them painting the inside of the magazines. Strip the paint from the magazines and they become much more reliable.

Likewise, it is also wise to get a heavier recoil spring if you want to run fullhouse loads through it. Reduces the felt recoil slightly, and greatly improves the longevity of the gun.

(Prior to putting the new spring in the gun my Witness ingested .40s&w just fine. Haven't tried any since I replaced the spring, however.)

I got mine new last september for $400 even, and the spring was $7 from doubletap.
 
Kimber and STI both make 10mm 1911 style pistols. The Kimber is the full size Eclipse and the STI is the "Perfect 10"

I think Wilson Combat has one as well.
 
Glock and S&W's discontinued 1006 series are the best bets. Nothing wrong with a S&W revolver if that interests you.
