So I just found out about this, a 10mm GP100 Match Champion as a factory offering from Ruger. If they offer the fixed sighted version in 10mm I would be very tempted to get one.

Saw that. Seems to me, it's kinda like a .357 revolver that can't shoot .38 SPL. Would be a lot more attractive if it came with a Short & Weak cylinder also. But I don't drink 10mm Kool-Aid, so I probably just don't get it.

Not another dime.
Maybe I'm just veering out of my lane. Nothing on the Ruger site mentions the ability to shoot .40 S&W from the GP or the SRH, and the 10mm Blackhawks come with .40 S&W cylinders. But I see the 610 was able to headspace .40 on the clips and run it. My assumption was that the headspacing would work the way the cartridge was designed to work.
I do like that the 10mm MC appears to have a Ruger-style front sight instead of the Novak dovetail.

Perhaps they don't want people to get confused and think they can shoot .40 without the moon clips?
I can't really think of a reason I need this or what role it fills for me but I just have a thing for semi-auto cartridges in revolvers.
I can't think of a reason why 40 S&W ammo would not work with the clips.
The "news" release that the NRA put out about it stated that it works with .40S&W. I am excited about this. I was considering getting a 357 GP100 converted and I can get this one for not too much more than the work would cost me... plus I get a new revolver!

I'm on my 3rd S&W 625 (.45ACP) and all of them have worked just fine without moonclips. Right up until it's time to reload. But they do work for 6. I would think that Ruger would be the same in 10mm and be fine with clips for .40SW.
You don't need a special cylinder. Jeff Quinn shot .40 through it, anyway: http://gunblast.com/Ruger-GP100MC-10mm.htm
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
That looks absolutely awesome!
Would be a great gun for IDPA revolver
