Over at TFB there was a post announcing the XD (forthcoming) in 10MM.
Like the platform or not, any pistol joining the group is good :)
This would be awesome!
I wonder if this could also herald the introduction of a 10mm XDS?
I'll be honest, though... until I see one in the rack at my LGS, I'm not holding my breath (the sad mantra of a 10mm fan). :-*
Agreed, more 10mm platforms is a good thing.
Hell yeah!! I'll buy one up as soon as I get my hands on one.
We had a post here with the same video a few weeks back. I would love to see some TRP or XD(m) in 10mm, but not holding my breath.

Always a week late and a buck short :)

Does it ever seem that 10mm fans spend more time waiting and hoping than high school boys?

LOL, that is funny, and true :)
Wow, totally missed this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I am incredibly happy to see another polymer gun step into the ring with glock. Maybe this will finally be the kick needed to get what I have wanted for a looooonnnngg time now. A M&P 10mm.
I'll be buying an XD(m) as soon as they are available. Not a fan of what I refer to as the lego blocks on the grip (its why I never bought an XDS 45), but I can cover that with a rubber grip sleeve and ignore it for a 10mm.
Anything I can do to support my favorite cartridge.

Kind of freaking out waiting for this. Has anyone heard anything new at all? I'm like a kid before Christmas.
I emailed them awhile back about this, the response was not definate one way or the other and certainly not full exuberance.
No guns to show at the Shot show.
No major and proper press release.
I stand by my previous statements. This seems more like pandering than a proper product announcement.

Somewhere there's a "spiritual prison" of 10mm handguns that Could Have Been. Island of Misfit Guns?

Oh my...thats perfect, we need to start that section with listings for makes and models that manufactures release details about, or say will be available soon but never show up. Numero Uno can be Vltors engineering hell bren ten.
The VLTOR Bren Ten was a sad story.

OMG, a 10mm XDS would compete directly with the Glock 29, but in a slimmer package and certainly more concealable. I would be all over it! Will it ever happen? Probably not.
Stay tuned!

That would be a longer list than the "Girls who won't date me" list I had in high school... and that was a LONG list!
It's coming....Relax! Jeebus.

We really hope it is! I think the XD(M) is a great platform and I'd definitely be in line for it.
Sadly, though, there's a long history of announcements like this that never come to fruition, and so I think a lot of us meet any new 10mm announcement with a fair degree of skepticism. I don't think the annoyance expressed here is so much doubt in Springfield alone as the industry in general: a chance to vent over all our cancelled or never-produced hopes and dreams, especially the announced ones.
That being said, I'm currently holding off on another 10mm purchase until I can handle a Witness P Match Pro and an XD(M) 10mm to see which one I like more. In the mean time, I'm off to search for unicorns...

The problem is the difference between what I want and what my wallet can handle! >:D
Oh yes, i'd be inline for an XDS 10mm. :D

We'll have to wait and see how this shakes out now.
And now they're claiming ignorance: http://blog.springfield-armory.com/springfield-armory-statement-regarding-gun-dealer-licensing-act-sb1657
Ruger, S&W and now Springfield are my short list of makers to never buy guns from again.
Maybe they'll introduce and updated version of the Bren-Ten, and we'll forgive them... :)) :D :)) :)) :D

I'll still buy SA stuff but they'll come from the same place as my Smiths and Rugers: the used or consignment cases. That way the shop or owner gets the money and not the corporation.

Gentlemen, not to stir the pot, but...
Regarding S&W, they are owned by a US corporation now, not the English company that made a deal with Bill/Hillary.
Regarding Ruger, Bill Ruger has been dead for 2 decades. Ruger ships 30 round mags with their semi-auto rifles.
Regarding S-A/RRA, I think we owe it to them to wait until all the info shakes out before making a snap judgement.
Gun control fanatics want gun companies to be shut down... Us not doing business with them doesn't help our cause, it helps the gun control folks.
Consider also, the whole point of a boycott is to get a company to change. If you won't go back to them as a reward for them changing their behavior, then why would they bother changing? It'd be like asking a dog to do a trick, but still not giving it a treat when it does the trick.

I agree we need to have all the facts before we rush to judge.
But on the face, it appears that SA and RRA were supporting legislation that would potentially shut down a bunch of IL companies, including negatively affecting some of their competition.
So, if these facts bear out, we need to shut them off and direct our dollars to other gun companies that weren't trying to leverage anti-gun legislation to their own short term advantage.

Yes! That would be nice indeed. My preference would be something in the MP45c size. I've always had the feeling that a S&W introduction of a new 10 would require changes equivalent to the widespread abandonment of Newtonian physics. Unless of course it was another goofy revolver. :)
