Let's Go Brandon!
In the 80's i switched to 38 Super in a commander handloaded to very close to 357 velocity from similar barrel length.
But when 10mm delta elites temporarily became cheap I switched hard due to better ammo availabilty off the shelf,etc. Only downside was no commander then.
Between the two I dabbled with 41 AE, but 10mm affordabilty/practicality made it moot.
I also shot 45 acp in lw commanders at the time, side by side recoil is dirrerent but similar in level on 10mm. 10mm (like 4" 357) smacks your palm more, but rocks less than 45. Different recoil impluse timing. I did this as local USPC (or whatever it was called for the early cooper atyle combat shooting) refused to recognize super as major, but did not have a ballistic pendulum for me to prove it.
10mm made my quest for 357 in 1911s moot. Very flexible cartridge.

Were I a collector I would have one based on the coolness factor alone. But with no real use in mind and other pistol/cartridge combinations that do what it does I can see why it's out of production. Awesome design exercise.
