XDM 10mm

[Bruno747]

I just tossed together some 180gr plated flat nose Berry's bullets over 9.7 gr of blue dot. Runs nicely in my sig 220 hope it will run just as well in this XDm.

I finally got mine out yesterday. Ran some Sig Sauer FMJ first. They were hitting low and right. Then the only other thing I brought with me was some home rolled 180gr XTP loaded with Blue Dot. They do fine in my G20 but they were all over the place through the XDM. I will try next time with the 180gr XTP and Longshot powder. That's been a real good round.


And my XD gear promotion is expected to be delivered tomorrow according to the FedEx tracking number. I am hoping it will be delivered today. Some times FedEx will drop it off at my house instead of taking it to the post office. I live 6 blocks from FedEx. But not bad, 10 days from the day I submitted to getting it delivered.

I am gonna try the sig fmj and vcrown how tomorrow, along with like 6 different loads...reliability test..we will see, my favorite is 180 or 200s loaded with longshot.

Taking mine out tomorrow afternoon. I have several home rolls ready for testing and some old SXT ready.

Interesting video XDm 5.25 vs Glock 40

  I can't explain the accuracy portion. Maybe the XDm is a bad copy, needed sight adjustment, or possibly not enough saddle time versus the Glock? The XDm lost that round!
  The tighter chamber seemed to show up in the Chrony numbers with the XDm's shorter barrel producing better number and penetration. The XDm ended up winning 2 out of 3 tests.

   More of the same with the XDm winning the Chrony battle and penetration battle. It loses the recoil battle in the video to the Glock 40. I guess 3 to 3 on the tally and pick what works for you.

That wasn't an accuracy test, too many variables.  Just getting rid of the shooter would eliminate a couple thousand variables.

Was really hoping to see the comparison against the more common G20.

I think this was the long-slide battle. You would pair the G20 versus the 4.5". Really need a Ransom Rest for any accuracy tests.

My extra shell for my Kenai chest holster showed up today.  It is designed for the XD 4", 45 ACP service model.  This one has the open end (for the compensator on my 460 Rowland conversion).  It fits the smaller 4.5" 10mm XDM like a glove.

 Picked up a 4.5" last night. After the online seller sent the 5 .25 mistakenly first.

Been impressed so far, hope to shoot it today. Picked up some vcrown and 180 th I from sig.

Also sent in for the promo which was relatively painless.

I had a chance to get my 4.5 XDM out the other day and shot about 50rds total of a combo of DT 200gr HC and UW 200gr XTP. I hade 0 issues with either ammo. Was shooting at about 20yrds and had no problems hitting my little pistol swinging target. I didn't not due any real accuracy testing, just plinking. I have been a long time G20/29 shooter/owner and just not sure I would woods carry the XDM over one of my Glocks. Nothing wrong with the XDM just think I prefer the Glock platform.

Wow! That's not good

[Intercooler]

  Odd for sure! When I had the XD front sight swapped out the Gunsmith said it was a real bitch! It just didn't want to move, so this shocks me here! I have grown to like pinned or set-screw style front sights, or at least a nice layer of red Loc-tite.
