Nope. 10 mm is just not a popular enough round to justify the cost of production.
Not to mention 10mm is harder to find and more expensive. Around here anyway.
I've seen .357 Sig XD pistols but they are rare to find in your average gun store. Only place I've seen them is my local GT Distributors.
Though you could probably get a 10 mm custom made.

Glock has had a couple 10mms on their line up for years. I just couldn't see it being sooo expensive as to prohibit production.

The XDs and XDMs are fairly new compared to Glock. You are talking the Croatian factory having to come up with the machinery to manufacture 10mm. Then you have importation. So yea there is a high cost involved. Couple that with the fact 10mm is not a very popular high selling round. So they have to question is it worth the cost of production to produce 10mm.

That's because Glock came out with the 20 and 29 back in the 90's when 10mm was a going concern. They've already paid for the tooling, design, etc.
You don't see a 10mm version of the 36, though, do you? That's because they knew it wouldn't be cost effective.
Today, they only make very limited numbers of the G20 and G29 in short production runs every few years.
No company has come out with a new-design 10mm pistol in the past decade (at bare minimum). There's a reason for that.
In short: 10mm XD/XDm--Never. Gonna. Happen.

I'd love one !!
I miss my G29 ... the ammo was just too expensive . The ammo at any LGS is just .40 with a higher price tag.
Underwoodammo.com is the best , cheapest source for 10mm.
135gr 1600fps ... .45acp what ? Lol
