Weapon platform size/capacity.
As you know, the 357sig can be used in 9mm sized platforms where as the 10mm is limited to large framed guns because of it's significantly longer profile.
Well, given that 10mm exists, I never did see much use for 357 Sig.
2.31mm difference between 10mm and 9mm, really doesn't add a whole lot. Magazine capacity is the exact same as 357 Sig/40S&W.
10mm ammo availability isn't a big deal in OKC, you can walk into Academy or H&H and get it without any problems.
ETA:
OP, You can get 9mm+P loads from Doubletap in the 500+ ft/lbs range, same for 40S&W (try the 135gr Nosler JHP)
I'd go for a good 9, you can practice with cheap ammo and proof on/carry the DoubleTap. Carbine options are more abundant in 9mm, as well.
Problem is that the 10mm has few viable options for carry. The G29 is the only real option, unless you can find a used Smith.
To me, 10mm is cost prohibitive if you rely on local vendors for ammo just like .357sig. You have to pick it up in bulk online if you don't want to go broke.
Also to add, those that talk about the 135gr loadings..... have you shot them? They are nowhere as controllable as the 125 and especially the 147 gr sig loadings from DT. Yes I've done the pepsi challenge with them..... J.P. was there for part of it.
again going back to the work thing...which is what im searching for (a gun to carry on duty).... i dont think they will let me carry a mp5. its a nice thought though...think don hume or uncle mike makes a shoulder holster for it?
It's priced like 45ACP. Last time I was at Academy, the 10mm Blazer Alu was ~$1 more per box than the 45ACP.Problem is that the 10mm has few viable options for carry. The G29 is the only real option, unless you can find a used Smith.

I'm just saying there's hot 40 S&W if you want something hotter than plain Remington 40 Short&Weak.Also to add, those that talk about the 135gr loadings..... have you shot them?
