The 10mm can't be loaded w/ slower powder, there is no room. The slower powders require a higher volume, like Magnum sized case. Smaller case, lower velocity even w/ optimum powders (which are faster/less bulky than optimum for larger case)

There is no 'massive damage' from a handgun, it is shooting a projectile at 1/3 or less speed than .308 based case.

Over expansion simply means under penetration, as you are effectively shooting a super low sectional density bullet once it expands.

Expansion is also using energy that could have been used in better ways. How many ft/lbs does it take to peel a hollowpoint back on itself and rip a few petals off?

Once you put a bullet in the case, the available capacity is quite small in the 10mm. You can't get enough H110 in the case even for a proper burn, let alone additional performance. Consider, .357 or .44 Mag loads of H110 are compressed to get enough powder in them. They are also about .3" longer. That means that the 10mm will have a powder column .3" too short to get ballistics like a .400 Mag. It may work to a small extent with 135g loads, but heavy bullets are a no go. It is actually worse than that, because the 10mm doesn't have the ability to run the longer OAL that most rimmed Magnum rounds do, and auto rounds tend to leave more weight inside the case due to nose shape.

... As far as massive damage and petals peeling, my point was that using a light or lightly constructed bullet in a handgun is not analogous to doing so in a rifle. There is never hydrostatic damage like a rifle has, and the shrapnel typically hinders bullet performance...

Any Cal.
... If you only have a few hundred ft/lbs, you don't want to waste any of them on unneeded work- like bending the petal from 90* sideways to pointing backwards, or shedding pieces. You want everything possible to drive the bullet forward...

The grip on those looks like it could be comfy. Seems to be about the most ergonomic of any around.

You nailed the description with Space Age, it looks like a gun Buck Rogers would carry and seems to shoot like a laser.
