XDM 10mms Discontinued...Why?

[John A.]

I have an old XD40 (5" Tac) model in 40 cal that has been a great gun.

I got it in mid-'06.

The #1 thing that most people don't think about in regards to the Springfield guns, is that springfield is just the importer.  No different than charles daly or century international arms or any other number of importers.

Springfield armory doesn't make squat in regards to those guns.  They're made by HS in Croatia.

Yea, this bummed me out. I really wanted the XDM 10 4.5 Some folks theorize they will be back BUT as "elites", like the 3.8", with the better trigger and optics ready. I hope that's the case. As for the M&P. I have a 2.0 Compact in 9mm and love it and waited years for a 10mm M&P but then saw too many hiccups (on YT) when folks ran the hotter loads.

So.... I planned on waiting for either the return of the full size XDM10 or tye Gen 5 G20. Of course I went ahead and got an R.I.A. while I'm waiting

Maybe you need different ammo. My 5.25 has always shot well even with Magteck under2" at 25yds. and loads it likes really well hovering around an 1" at 25yds. rested of course.

Looks like they did what a lot expected, they dropped the normal xdm line to startup elite versions of the original models. Seeing several start to appear on gunbroker that show as new. 4.5" elite osp, but they dont have the supressor height sights or threaded barrel yet have the factory OSP cut. I cant see that many people swapping the barrel and sights on an original 4.5" osp elite 10mm.

Might have to snag one of these too.

I always liked my xdm10..shoots nice, 15rds..trigger is not near as good as my Sig 320X 10mm....but it's still reliable and a good shooter

SA is making a 4.5? as an exclusive for Sportsmans Warehouse.  $649.00 and in stock at my local store.  It has a black frame, ceracoated green slide, optics reading.  SA will send you 3 extra magazines, and a range bag free with proof of purchase.  I?m going for it.

Sounds like a deal to me

[marlin39a]

Yes, I pushed the button, purchased online.  It is waiting for me at my local store.  I also ordered 500 pulls from American Reloading.  My brass supply is good to go.  Lif is good.

well that sux. it was my next buy. i was looking for a 10mm 1911, saw a Sig M-11 and pounced on that. the classic Sigs are as scarce as a cat in a dog pound

[Vetteguy904]

I misread this thread and thought the 3.8 was being discontinued. So I hunted and found one and bought it. when i was talking to the LGS owner he said there were only 2 more at his distributor. I wonder if SA is getting out of 10mm altogether?
