If you aren't going straight to the 10, I suggest a witness in 40S&W. It is a CZ-clone, and a good one at that. EAA is not known for the customer service, but recent reports have been better. My two guns are winners.
Once nice thing about the Witness line of guns is the caliber conversion kits. Buy a standard Witness large frame in your desired caliber, and they make uppers for all the others. 9mm, .38 super, 40S&W, 10mm Auto, 45 ACP. At one time they had a 41 AE upper too I think. I have two 10mm and a 38 super barrel that I need to get off my duff and have reamed for 9X25.
A Witness should run you about $400, or double the high point, but it is a much better weapon. And the caliber conversions are about $200, so you are back in the high-point pricing for any future calibers you want. Get the 40S&W and all you will need to go to 10mm is a new barrel, which is about $90.00.
