10mm Polymer Options

[TXCOONDOG]

I had a G20 with a KKM barrel, Trijicon HD NS, and an after market 20lb recoil spring. I didn't run into any issues until over 500 rounds (much higher but loss count) of full power ammo (1300-1400 fps 180gr). Glock took care of it so no hard feelings but that is why I run an RIA, Ultra Pro HC 6", model 52000. However, at 3lbs unloaded, it's not ideal for a backup in the woods.

Lesson learned so my next polymer will be my back up with loads running at 1200-1250 fps and will carry the RIA 6" with 200grainers running at 1300fps for actual hunting in heavy dense wooded areas (yaupons, briars, etc) where a rifle is less than ideal. If I need more pistol than that, I will carry a Ruger Redhawk 5.5" in 44 mag.

PS: Springfield gives a decent package deal on thier XD models for the dollar IMHO so I'll wait.

It's coming very soon. Don't listen to the haters and Glock fan boys!

Not a hater and certainly not a glock fanboy. But I'll believe the XDM when I see it. We have had other companies tell us that they were working on ones with functional units in hand and never get them on the shelves. Springfield hasn't shown anything for this.


That said, Im in as soon as it appears, I want a polymer 10mm and refuse to purchase anything glock. Ick! Bonus points if springfield has the cahonies to release an XDS mod 2 10mm. Instant (not precluding reliability testing) new EDC.

For some reason this seems like the old saying "Wrangling a saber makes noise, drawing one does not"

Ruger made no noise, then BAM - SR1911 in 10mm.

I think they got that the 10mm market is too jaded to believe anything but a gun in hand.

That's pretty dumb for a comment. Personally I've never owned a Glock so I guess I'm not a fan boy. Hater? What in the world does that mean? Haters of what? Of Springfield? How does that happen? I've never owned one of them either. I do know that several 10s have been promised but have yet to appear and probably never will. I'll believe they'll actually make one when they've made one. Seems a realistic approach to me.

That may require a long lifetime.

So true!  I'd really love to see the 10mm XD(M) - and, I'll admit, I'm holding off on a 10mm purchase for a while, just to see.  But, knowing the industry, I'm holding off, not holding my breath...

XDS 10mm?  +1!
