Is the 10mm pistol a good all-around gun?

[POGGERS!]

If so what would be the best way to mod it out? (Only condition is it can't be auto)

If there is a better gun for general use like dispatching basic enemies like raiders please say so below.

Depends on where you spec your damage perks and how much you use VATS, I suppose.
Overall the 10mm is good, if not a bit outshined by a modded Pipe Rifle (.38 ammo also seems much, much more common) and the appropriate perks. It's good for killing smaller stuff, like bugs and molerats and weak raiders.
Honestly it's best, to me personally, with an auto configuration, extended clip, and then legendary effect of either maybe fire or explosive or fire-rate/reload. As a semi-auto, loud option, it's easily outclassed by the .44 or any of the energy pistols, and as a stealth pistol, it's outlcassed by The Deliverer. My two cents.

The deliverer was the better option until i got my hands on a two-shot 10mm. My favourite effect prior was the rapid (25% fire rate) with an auto reciever, however 10mm ammo is not that easy to come by if your just scavenging. Not for full auto anyway.

Not if they're more than 10 feet in front of you.

I got a unique Wounding 10 mm Pistol (25 bleeding damage from eveyshot added to base dmg).
So basically, this thing with an Automatic Receiver (makes it shoot full-auto) does an insane amount of damage.

In ~2,5 sec you shoot 24 bullets, each of them inflicting separate 25 bleeding damage = around 1000 dmg in total from every clip, when stacked with base dmg of the pistol.

My 10mm out dps's the deliverer, I also have my perks set up for stealth, I do not use auto, wastes too much ammo, it can do a lot of damage, my favorite go to gun for the majority of raiders etc, though for larger enemies/bosses I switch to another weapon.

Top tier fully auto 10mm, silenced, very effective, the one i have is vats enhanced, which lets me fire it off a whole lot.

You'd actually be surprised by the effective range with a long barrel and no muzzle mod. And if they're out of range, that's when you either like...get closer or let them get closer (since at least half of the enemies in the game are melee). Orrrrr pull out your Gauss Rifle and snipe them.

The real problem is more like when they're less than three or four feet in front of you. Or you accidentally side step infront of a wall or tree before you fire. Then you can pretty much kiss all your limbs good bye xD

10mm kills everything in game. In fact everything except the pipe stuff kills everything in the game. I have one shot a super mutant brute with the 10mm. The unique .44 (won't spoil it for ya) three shots Alpha Deathclaw's. I seem to find VATs has TERRIBLE accuracy... as in I can hit the target more often using my actual in-game aim rather than vats (which is funny, because I played New Vegas and 3 as a VATs machine. But like I always have 80%+ to hit and 3/4 shots will miss, so I only VATs when struggling to hit ranged moving targets. Therefore all my rifles and pistols are not on automatic.

The auto, in vats, in close quarters is remarkable, but, not so great in free aiming/shooting, kicks a bit.

If I found a kneecapping 10mm, I'd adjust my entire build to suit it, high AP, high crit, full auto burst, heavy on vats, even partially perked, you can keep up a constant barrage of accurate vats fire. the downside, if early on, the full auto is bleh, but on full auto it uses commando, not gunslinger... i guess you could eventually do both, use a scoped .44 for sniping, for a fully pistol build.

I do have a combat shotgun that's fully modded, but I'm one of those people that likes silently shooting people from a distance while sneaking and the combat shotgun, even with a long barrel, does not cut it for one-shot stealth kills unless I happen to be sneaking around the inside of a cardboard box. And when things get loud, I'm usually still too far away for the shotgun. And 90% of enemies die before they enter shotgun range because I can actually aim. So I really don't end up using it that much.

i had a 10mm up to lvl 74 when i beat the game. it works best as a semi auto, unless you feel like spending caps on 10mm. it does work really well as a auto, but the combat rifle and AR do better. i liked the heavy ported barrel plus muzzle brake. at low levels, its a beast of a pistol as long as you keep up with the upgrades. at higher level, its still the most decent and reliable all around backup, and the fire rate and damage coupled with ballistic still equal alot of dps against most things you are fighting.
