Where's the Springfield XD 10mm?

[Bruno747]

Nearly 1.5 years on a nearly finished product. I reached out to Springfield just to annoy them some more. Hope to hear something positive back.

Not an XD but Springfield

I wasn't aware that they even made a 6" long slide in 10mm.

That's a sharp looking pistol : )

I don't see the need for redundant calibers in every pistol. I'd prefer new firearms specific to a caliber as we see in some of the Magnum revolvers. There's no need for an XD in 10mm because they already make an XD in 45 ACP and 9mm. I'd much rather Springfield come out with an entirely new platform for 10mm, maybe a target gun like the high end tanfoglios. 10mm is best for target shooters. Self defense and hunters are best served with 9mm or .45acp.

To each his own for sure, however I Love Whitetail hunting with my 10's, plus I've dropped 2 or 3 coyotes with them too, talk about making that dog roll 😂

This is just incorrect. While the 9mm and 45 acp have thieir strengths, neither are on the level of 10mm. You should look into the numbers.

What does more damage? A freight train going 45 miles per hour or a bus going 60 mph? Obviously the train. The 45acp is a train, the 10mm is a bus. The 10mm is a flat shooter, good for professional shooters at organized events. There's a reason cops don't use it. Cops use .40, 9mm and .45acp. The reason is obvious to professional shooters like me. I shoot 10mm religiously in competition. Never for self defense, never for hunting. 45acp is just better hands down. I wouldn't shoot anything but 10mm for competition, but in self defense 9mm or 45acp all day.

Your analogy is flawed. A 10mm has the capability to be the train at 75mph.

Nice try. You don't seem to know much about firearms, your 10mm knowledge needs updating. Have you ever really owned one or are you just a fanboy? I doubt you've ever shot 10mm.

Ugh. I just bought a Glock 20sf today, I'm sure people here that know me on Facebook can confirm I just made a post today showing it. I've bought several 10mm's from people on this website, and just sold a Witness Stock 2 to a member here. I've been buying 10mm for 19 years, have over a dozen in my current collection. I don't run this website just to be a "fanboy." That's insulting.

Well it seems that many of these companies can't deviate from the 1911 platforms and Colt has hung on to that for over a 100 years and everyone is coping that over and over...

I'll advise that Patriot is more than a "10mm Fanboy", yes he has several 10mm's in his collection.  Him being the owner of this website, it has done more to help preserve the 10mm cartridge and guns via his dedication providing this ad free, no cost place where we participate in discussion, findings and reviews of everything related.  It is because 10mm isn't a 9mm or a 45 ACP that we chose it to be our caliber of choice!

I will say, we pride ourselves with this task of sharing our years of knowledge and experiences that we bring to the forum for everyone to enjoy.  My personal experience with 10mm started with the inception back in the early 80's.  However I waited till 1989 to order my first being a S&W 1006 which I took delivery of early 1990.  I have handloaded for mine since day one even where no data existed.


In closing you only need to read and discover the true value of this website to understand what is contained within!

Now about the Springfield offerings, they produced the OMEGA years ago with the help of  Peters-Stahl of Germany...
Was it the best 10mm of its time not really as there were issues with the recoil rod design.  It was prone to cracking at the hole in the rod.

Springfield Linkless 10mm and are ... With guide rod breakage, slide stop cracks, firing pin breakage, extractor wear, front sight loss, and slides breaking, the design from Stahl needed beefing up.

I was close to purchasing one of these but glad I did not...

Will Springfield ever bring out the 10mm XD that is yet to be seen, but many have asked Springfield to do so with a NO SHOW as of yet!

[01deuce]

A 9mm or 45acp for hunting over a 10mm ? That's a joke right?

I would hope so but reading into his screen name and a few of his post it looks like he is blinded by his ignorance of the true 10mm performance.  The 10mm people know that the 10mm has more energy at 100 yards than a 45ACP at the muzzle!

[sqlbullet]

That poster has gone silent.  He either gave up on us or read some ballistics and realized that his perceptions of the 10mm were 180° wrong and is not willing to post more, or he is re-grouping to troll some more.

If he posts more of this kind of rhetoric, just skip it.  Don't feed the trolls and they will  soon grow bored.

While I suspect he was a troll, I kinda hope he was just mis-informed.  If so, come on back and find out how great the 10mm is.
