I've mostly been using 9mm and .45 all my life and I'm thinking about adding the 10mm. As this would be my first one, I’d really appreciate some tips on some great options.

Thanks
 
I've had a really good experience with the Springfield XD‑M 10mm. It’s gentle on recoil for the caliber and quite manageable to shoot.
 
  Moving up to 10mm actually caught me off guard more than I thought it would. It's not just about more kick. it has a completely different feel to it. I'd suggest trying out a few different ones before you commit because how you grip it really changes everything.
 
Good choice, 10mm can be a great middle ground if you want extra power over 9mm without jumping to .45 recoil. A lot of people start with something like a Glock 20 or 29 since they’re simple and widely supported.
 
The Glock 40 MOS is a good first 10mm. The EAA Witness is worth a look if budget is tight...either way, get ready for the recoil surprise.
