Well, the 10mm Magnum is different enough from the .41 Mag, both ballistically and dimensionally, that it’d be a more viable marketing proposition. Not to mention the huge array of .40-cal/10mm bullet-weights and types that exist, which isn’t the case with the .41.
Then, possibly, they could engineer a 10mm AUTO “kit” for a quick caliber swap, containing say a spare 10mm “drop-in” barrel, different springs to cycle the action, and a modified 10mm Mag magazine to feed the shorter 10mm (AUTO) round. Similar to what 10mm Glock owners can do now with an aftermarket .40 drop-in barrel for their G20s or G29s.
It would just depend on some aggressive creativity from Magnum Reasearch or IMI, or whoever’s currently running the Deagal R&D unit.
If they can make Deagles in 50AE, they can certainly make them in
10mm Magnum.
