Would you?  I have written them several times to suggest this.  Today I decided I would call.

Just curious if anybody would buy an XD 10mm product?


**also has anybody else ever written them with an XD 10mm suggestion?**

That's crazy. Why would you want anything more powerful than a 9mm?

Group buy when they release them? Just sayin

10mm is the best mm.

I absolutely would buy one, whether it was in the original XD  or Mod 2 configuration. They made some XDs for a while in 357 SIG and 45 GAP so why not in 10mm?

As a big XD guy, I'd be all over one! I'd love something in 10mm but none of the current options out there do it for me...

I got a G20.  My only Glock.  Their ergonomics aren't suited for me.  I keep it because 10mm is the best mm.

I was hoping they would have years ago, got tired of waiting. When Sig came out with the P220 in 10mm I had to finally jump on the 10mm bandwagon.

But a XDM in 10 would be a welcome addition.

Mechtech is making their carbine conversion units for XDs... if the pistol comes out in 10mm, then maybe an XD CCU in 10mm would follow (parity with Colt and Glock CCUs).

10mm carbines are amazingly fun; common magazine with chosen handgun makes it more fun.

On one side, the idea of a non-glock polymer 10mm from a major company makes me smile.

On the other side is that annoying, badly slotted grip safety right where the wallop of a 10mm will make itself known to me.

I'm torn.

Another one of those we all like different things.  But I do not get the irritation with the grip safety.  I do not notice it.  Not one bit.  I, for the life of me, cannot figure out what other people notice or don't like about it.  I have above average hand size, maybe that is why I don't notice it.  

Just wish I knew.  I got a buddy who has much smaller hands than myself and he doesn't complain about it.

I agree.  I wish all my striker guns had a grip safety.  Safe handling is the number one preventative of ADs, but sometimes shit happens and you might as well have an extra safety feature, one that I don't even notice, in place whenever possible.

IL has been a lost cause for decades because of Chicago.  The folks in IL need to get a handle on the Chicago situation but I doubt that will ever happen. That bill was going through with or without RRA and SA doing what they felt they had to considering the business environment their facing.

And there are other firearms manufacturers that operate out of states that restrict the 2nd Amendment. So add them to the list.

And you folks have Austin with all the crap that goes on there.

If they make a xdm 5.25 competition 10mm, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Hopefully, they do their research, so they don't end up like Glocks having FTF's with hot ammo, as the slide outruns the mag springs.  You can double up on mag springs, but you lose 2 rounds capacity.

If they make a 5.25 with a solid slide instead of the cutouts and beef up the mags springs, it should be able to run nuclear loads fine.

They got caught with backhanded support of a bill in illinios that would limit Illinois gun owners to 9 transfers a year.  And state license for gun dealers, while exempting themselves from it.  Thread is GD.

SA didn't sell out Illinois gun owners. The law passed was against small dealers. SA protected their business by saying they were different.

Not here to debate it with you but you misunderstand what they did to the 2nd amendment.  Moving on, they were wrong.

I didn't misunderstand anything. And the state of Illinois diminished the 2nd Amendment rights of residents of IL not SA.

But you're entitled to you opinion.

Will be ordering a 10mm XDm 5.25 asap.

Not only is it not 'mainstream,' none of my four LGSs even stocks .45Super.

ALL of them stock a variety of 10mm ammo. Yeah, some of it's the watered-down stuff, but they also stock the manly-manly 'Sonny Crockett' flavors as well.

It's not that I dislike the concept of a grip safety. It's the implementation they chose that I don't like. Then again, I'm not a huge fan of the Glock Not-A-Safety trigger safety either.

Not exactly. SA and RRA paid a lobbying firm to work for gun rights and protect the firearm industry in Illinois. Because they both do business in a similar market segment, they agreed that the lobbying firm should operate independently to avoid any conflict of interest between the two companies. Lobbyist supported some bullshit law. SA fired lobbyist and advocated against the bullshit law. Snowflake gun owners still manage to be triggered about it. Some folks just prefer to be upset.

Oh, and I reviewed the pistol in question.

Finally! A 10mm Springfield XD

If you insist on the sanitized version fine.  There is no way SA or RRA did not know what was happening or have a hand in it.  But you go ahead and "THINK" what you want.  It is a free country and no law against it.  But make no mistake that is the sanitized and naive version.

ETA: they had been previously made aware and it is proven they knew full well what was going on

I agree some do.  That does not make what you are saying in this case valid.  You test all the SA guns you want.  I watched your video.  It appears you did not buy this gun, it appears they provided it.

You do a lot a good videos.  I watch most of them.  But we disagree here.  And you are talking to a former die hard SA fan.  I have read the evidence from multiple sides.  It pains me but Springfield and Rock River have no out here.  They are either coincidentally the 2 stupidest companies doing business on the planet or they knew and had a hand in what was going on.

If you are good with that carry on.  Keep testing their free guns, and buy all of them you want.  Your right MURICA.

But don't call me or imply that I am a snowflake or a person who PREFERS to be upset.

There are valid reasons to strike them off my list, that gives me great pain, I own several XD's.  I will keep shooting them because I already own them and I have really like them(reliability and ergonomics).  But I choose that SA and Rock River will not make any more money off me.  It appears they may not be making much money off you either if you're testing samples they send you, I don't know your situation though.

Good luck with your video, but maybe quit with your one size fits all accusations?

They did provide the test gun. Most folks who review firearms receive test guns at no cost on loan. The guns go back if you don't purchase them. Some people who have a lot more disposable income than I do are able to purchase every gun they review. But they can't produce a review of a gun to coincide with the official release that way. I might purchase the pistol that SA sent. It has several things going for it that I like, but I'll probably pass. If I had more play money, I'd buy it just to add another 10mm to the collection, but it really doesn't do anything better than my G20SF. Feels a little smaller, has a little longer sight radius, and has adjustable sights. If I was choosing between the two prior to purchasing in the first place, those features might make a difference. Don't get me wrong, I'd really like to be able to buy almost every new gun that comes along, especially in best millimeter. But I don't have a lot of money.

I owned a Springfield 1911A1, M1A, and XD45 before the ruckus. I haven't purchased anything since, but not because of the drama. I'm neither a fan nor a detractor. I'm rather ambivalent towards their products. But the way the gun world has reacted to the drama has been full autist. The lobbyist they put in charge of IFMA was fully responsible and he has been sacked. I understand why you're upset, but I wholeheartedly disagree. This isn't Ruger, S&W, or Glock advocating for mag restrictions and it isn't Troy Industries employing a murderous fucktard. SA and RRA did not take the actions they are accused of, they fired the responsible party, and they have advocated against the bad policy that he was supporting. I don't know what more they could do, honestly.
