Not sure if serious this gun and every other 10mm will have no meaningful influence on 10mm ammo prices at all. 10mm as much as I like it, will never be a caliber produced at a level that would create a downward pressure on ammunition pricing. "Because a cheap gun exists" changes nothing.
Also, in 2023 DA/SA is not really conducive to carry. This is an option marketed towards boomer fudds in a format they might be more familiar with, now that used smith 3rd gens are being poached by weird collectors.
