What quality options exist TODAY in an MP-5 in the .40/10mm caliber? I have mixed feelings in the 40S&W versus 10mm caliber because the 10mm firearms seem to be extremely rare and very expensive and the 40&W would be more common with a side arm (P-30) though I have CCW'ed a Glock 20 for years. It appears that a lot of the component parts are the same for both so, long term support seems to be the same for both calibers.
HKParts.net has the Vector 40S&W for ~$2800 and it looks like a parts kit plus Dakota Tactical conversion would be ~$3700. Both look like they would need some conversion parts to go from a pistol to an SBR status. The former sear hosts I have seen seem run over $4K so, I don't see a good option there.
What sort of money would I be looking at and what options do I have with a 10mm MP-5/SBR? Where I travel and shoot is more open and rural so, having the option of more "reach" with a 10mm is attractive but, I'm not sure how much thump I would loose at longer ranges. What would I give up with a 40S&W out of an SBR versus a 10mm at ~100 yards?
