Where's the Springfield XD 10mm?

Intercooler · October 10 2018 07:09:55 AM MDT

I'm hitting Cabela's tomorrow to try out both sizes in the 9mm version. I suggest everyone do the same before ordering! The waffle-board grip won't be for everyone for sure. This is why I was hoping for an XD in 10mm. I love our XD 9mm in 4" with grip tape on the handle. Tomorrow will be a refresh on the XDm and that waffle pattern! I also think in the 10mm version, no slide cut should have been put in.

Hydra-Shoc ammo is not a good test for 10,000 rounds. It's weak! The real test is slow to nuclear, light to heavy, frangible to hardcast and no oil!

It's interesting that they didn't do several hundred with varying types of ammo. All of one kind doesn't really tell you much, other than it liked those

Ditto on the Hydra Shocks, weak tea. I'm not really thrilled with the slide cut either. Which is fine since I'd rather have the 4.5" anyway ${$default_smiley_smiley}$ Now they need too offer a night sight option for the ultimate carry gun.

Did you check on the NS? I think it should be out there. I wanted a silver slide option ${$default_sad_smiley}$

They tested that Springfield over 2 1/2 days with their 10K round testing with:
Federal Hi-Shok 180gr JHP (10C)
Ballistics Information: 10mm Auto
Muzzle Velocity: 1030 fps
Muzzle Energy: 424 ft. lbs
Still not a bad test cycle even with the weaker ammo

When S&W did their 10mm 10,000 round torture test back in 1990, it was done in 6 1/2 hours with Winchester Silvertip ammo back in the day.
Incase some of you all missed that you can read about that test here: http://10mm-firearms.com/10mm-semi-auto-handguns/sw10xx-series-information/msg1632/#msg1632

Winchester 175gr Silvertip JHP
Ballistics Information: 10mm Auto
Muzzle Velocity: 1290 fps
Muzzle Energy: 649 ft. lbs

I have seen where the XDM has held up in 45super not not sure on round counts on them or what spring weight they are using. Should have fullly supported barrel with normal rifling as well so no need to buy after market like I did for my G20 and G29.

Intercooler · October 10 2018 10:29:16 AM MDT

That's how my XD 9mm barrel is. Great support, on the tight side and a mirror polish on the feed ramp. Couldn't ask for better! Never a single issue from 50gr-165gr and a 115gr moving 1400 FPS.

I meant a factory option for night sights. I wouldn't mind adding a set of Meprolights, just nicer if it came with them. I'm avoiding Truglo as I've had a set of those come apart and their customer service was less than stellar. Start to finish was about 6 weeks for a replacement.

I have Sverdlovsk Springfield guns. One is the XDS in 45 and I have run allot of ammo across this gun and it runs stellar. I am really impressed with Springfield and that they listen to thier customer base. I am looking forward to adding these to my collection.

Most definitely 😀

Well mark me as "surprised", I doubted that Springfield could tempt the Croatians into building these.

My old agency issues the XD in .45acp. We had a few factory sights lose tritium which SA promptly fixed, the mag springs went weak after 3-4 years and SA sent new ones with thicker metal and an extra coil for every magazine we owned. One rocket scientist didn't tighten his TLR-1 light and during the coldest requal session I've ever seen (teens) the chin on the end of the frame snapped off his pistol, SA replaced it with no question. We had less problems with the XD45 pistols than any other pistol we issued over the years and people shot them better.

The one quibble I have is that you have to remove a roll pin from the slide to completely strip it and best practice is to use a new roll pin upon reassembly. Having said that the design is tank tough but ergonomic and natural to learn to shoot well.

I may eventually get me one...
