Johnny,

Aimco has already made a 10 mm Luger. This during the time Mitchell was the distributor. I happened to be talking to someone fairly high up at Mitchell on the phone and they mentioned having had one example in 10 mm made. He said there were no plans to go into production with it, but they were planning one in 40 S&W. Not too long after that Stoeger took over distribution and presumably the 40 S&W idea fell by the wayside.

I never learned how it was that the distributorship passed from Mitchel to Stoeger but, for several rreasons, I've always wished Mitchell had retained it.

I'd like an Aimco in 357 SIG. Hot, but bottlenecked like the 7.65 Parabellum.
