Where's the Springfield XD 10mm?

[Graybeard]

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.

My money is on troll. It was the "professional shooters like me" comment that was the biggest giveaway. There isn't a professional shooter in the world that doesn't know the difference in power between a 9, .45, and 10mm.

Absolutely, I've been shooting tons for many years, but would never consider my self a professional shooter, Lol

I get paid to teach people about guns, but I still would not consider myself a "professional shooter".

[Kenk]

I get that, funny guy : )

LoL....
I like .45 caliber too. I've taken deer at 120 yards with one of my .45s; Freedom Arms .454 Casull...

A 10mm XD would be cool.
They do make a .460 Rowland conversion for the XD45. I've though about doing that conversion before but then thought, naaaaahhhhhh....
10mm is, without a doubt, the highest performance "realistic" auto pistol defensive caliber currently available.
I think an XD in 10 would sell...

Ho Lee Cow. Looks like it might come true after all.

Wow, really 😀😀😀

So a 4.5" XDm with a windage adjustable rear sight?

[Intercooler]

This has me scratching my head why it took so long! Dang YouTuber's had one in operation way before the mention from Springfield!

So maybe they had to heavy the slide and barrel for 10mm and increase the recoil spring weight. I don't see much else that had to be done! Was it because they did the 1911 first and that didn't pan out too great?

[Graybeard]

Sorry to be the wet blanket on this one, but I think this might be a fake. I did some searching around and the same pic appears to have been on reddit and instagram. The twitter link on reddit doesn't exist. I found nothing on the
Springfield website or Facebook page.

We typically see new guns announced months before they're actually available, even to reviewers. The social media buzz is today's free marketing. I think the worst case scenario here is this is a photoshopped pic. Best case scenario is someone that works for Springfield took a cell phone pic of a prototype and leaked it. Either way, I doubt any of us will have one by Christmas......

I actually hope I'm wrong about this, but time will tell.

[Kenk]

Yep, having this show up on reddit does make you question its credibility

I have shot several different 460 Rowland conversions - Glock, 5"1911 and XD.  Not sure why but the XD version is the softest shooting. It is the only one I wouldn't think twice about running 150 rounds thru.  My 1911 version becomes uncomfortable after about 50 rounds. 

The XD should make for a very nice 10mm platform.

Absolutely, as does my RIA Rock Ultra, did 200rds's yesterday and gosh, just wanted to be done for the day. 10's are so much fun, but are definitely a workout

[Intercooler]

I like to contact the source where possible. Let me know what you think!

Unfortunately all hell is breaking loose so I can't confim or deny! Lol! I have a review of a SA pistol coming Oct 10 so you'll find out then.
For the  record, I did get a pistol from SA for the GetZone Holiday Gift Guide and wasn't in on any release date when I recieved it. I wish
I had.

Thanks Jesse~
