 They say they will be working on a XDM this year and are looking at a 1911 down the road.

This would be huge if they actually do it right!

Very interesting. I wondered when they were getting into the 10mm game.

I would be interested.

I also will believe it when I see it.  They only introduced a 357 Sig because they were loosing big LE contracts by not having one.  And that is only a barrel change from a 40.  So, this seems like lip service to me.

But I hope I am wrong!

They have kept the 10mm available in their custom shop 1911s so they certainly have a good working knowledge.  They were supposed to have offered a 10mm Combat Operator through Lipsey's last year but the standard 9mm/.45 models are all that ever shipped. I'd love to see the XDM and a Range Officer roll out in 10mm.

Please let them do this. I have been emailing them for years asking for an XD in 10mm.

This is exactly what I have wanted since I created this site.

An American company, semi auto, non-1911 platform current production 10mm handgun.

I would probably sell all of my foreign made 10mm and buy 3 of them on the spot.

Isn't the XDM family made in Europe?

I thought some were American made? Now I'm reading most, if not all are made in Croatia?

Guess I won't get one after all.

What's this nonsense about 10mm being a Northwest thing?

I didn't see that in this thread, but you can't get much more southeast than where I am :)

It was in the video.  The suit in the middle of the video said it at 1:01.

And, I agree.  Not a northwest thing.  Mountain west checking in here!

I had to watch it again to catch that. I didn't recognize Rob Leatham, he put on some weight in his 40's or 50's. He used to be skinny as a rail back in the day.
