I've already been down this road.
For 8in longslides, there are a few 8in customs made by Jim Hoag floating around, but he only made them in .45acp and they auction for like $45,000.
For longslides in hotter calibers, there are:
AMT Javelina (7in & 10mm)
Fusion Firearms custom builds (7in & 10mm)
RJ Renner (7in and advertised as chambered for .45 Super, but who knows? They may be willing to do a 10mm)
LAR Grizzly (5.4in, 6.5in, 8in & 10in barrels. Normally they're .45 Win Mag, but they made 10mm conversion kits. They also aren't true 1911's as they have almost no parts interchangeability, but they have the right look, save for being oversized in almost every dimension)
So if you really want an 8 inch 10mm, you can either settle for getting a 7in and putting a 1in bushing compensator (PTP Tactical or Valkyrie Dynamics) on it, or you can get a 2in nose piece from Karl Lippard (though it requires slight machining of the slide, or you can just bust out a dremel if you've got a steady hand) and installing it on a more common 6in longslide (or a 7in if you want an overall length of 9in), or trying to find a custom 1911 builder who is willing and able to make a 8in slide. I don't know who exactly you'd reach out to for that, but someone made a 16in 1911 for Kentucky Ballistics, so there are people out there who will do wacky stuff if you've got the cash to spend.
I went with an AMT Javelina and a 1in bushing comp. AMT has a bad reputation, but I've never had any issues with mine. And I don't use the busing comp that much cause it gets dirty as fuck very quickly.
