So the 10mm video was just an interest video

[Intercooler2]

    Because they haven't said a peep since about what this 10mm might be, or even when!

 

Maybe 2018 they will roll something out after everyone has already spent ever last 10mm cent they had on other companies.

I am really hoping that they do actually bring out a 10mm. I have been wanting a 10mm for quite sometime and was going to go the glock route. However, if SA brought out a 10mm XDM, id be all over that. 

[Intercooler2]

This was thrown up. What's X???

Can't wait until Friday to see what they roll out!

It was pointed out on the XDtalk forum that 2017 is the 10th anniversary of the XDm. Another clue for you all, (the walrus was Paul.)

[Intercooler2]

No sneak peaks on this one. I can't find anyone that knows what it is.

They are doing a 10mm 1911 and xdm. Ar10 in 2018.

They might as well do a PCC too.

Great. There goes my long range plan to try SS minor as my next division. Wonder if they'll get 10 rounds in a 10mm 1911 mag.

I use tripp mags for my 40 that hold 10 rounds should work.

Thatd be sweet. Springfield has been making some cool guns lately regardless of your position on them. Their AR’s are nice. 

[Intercooler2]

Today is slated for the big announcement.

[Mcfoto]

1911, 5 or 6 inch barrel. Stock mags are 8 round so a major SS gun.

Disappointing! Another pair of 1911's. I guess I will never have to worry about buying another Springfield piece.  $1800 to boot and cheaper options out there!

Just got the email. 1911 trp operator in 10mm

[Intercooler2]

What a bunch of crapola!

[Nathanb]

You should see the msrp you’ll really think that.

Saw their comments on a few posts on FB, XDm 10mm is in the development and testing phase right now, so I'd say an announcement some time next year for that one.

I'm a big fan of the XDM 45, a 10mm version would be pretty sweet.

[Intercooler2]

And we still wait for this vaporware.

With the right loads a 40 will do 600 FPE out of a 5" barrel with 180 grain bullets.  The other plus is that 40s are almost free right now.  10mm seems redundant to me,  but to each his own.

10mm is a far cry from a juiced up 40 when done right. The factory 10mm offerings are about the same as 40 though. That's something I never understood. They are loading into 10mm brass with darn near 40 charge weights. Why they don't just load the appropriate load to begin with is beyond me. They would actually sell more. Folks don't buy a 10 for bunny fart loads.

What I am getting at is that people seem to think that the 10mm is some super mag, but there it no loading that I found  in books or top end factory stuff that even matches a full power 357, and a properly loaded 40 does more that any of the main stream 10mm loadings and isn't far enough off of  top end 10mm to justify having to carry a large frame gun that cost more to shoot, (40 brass is free and 10, not so much) to me.  But if someone else wants to buy a gun and ammo that is considerably more expensive, but still takes a back seat to the 357, go for it. it is their money after all

[38superfan]

My love affair with the 10 died years ago. Believe me, you won't hear me encouraging anyone to buy into it. It is a pretty far cry from any magnum these days without buying boutique loads (that cost 2x what 357 does) or rolling your own.  Sig makes pretty decent ammo for it but still not original  specs.   Folks who tout the capacity of a 10 vs a 6 gun should just learn to reload the revo faster! 

    It seems to be making a resurgence recently, but I think its because the market is pretty stagnant. The ammo companies still haven't upped their game for it.

I was a bit pissed when the "big" announcement was a 1911.  Don't get me wrong, I love the 1911, I have 13 of them, three of them are in 10mm.  I had a Glock 20, never could get used to it.  I've got an XD 45 and love it.  I'd really like to see a XD?? 10mm. 

 

I load my own and I'm getting around 1250 fps with a Blue Dot load and a 190 WFN bullet.  I doubt that load would even fit in a .40 Short and Weak case.

 

Factory offerings are pretty lame unless you go the Boutique route.  My handloads are running me under $0.10 each so I'll keep shooting them.  I'd really like to be able to shoot them in an XD.
