Something I would really like to see

[tgallmey]

I want to see those Croatians make me a XDM in 10mm. Could it be done? Would any of you buy it too?

Wouldn't that be too LIGHT, for all that power, and recoil ?????

Uhh... Glock has two pistols chambered in 10mm...

and the XD-m is larger than the full-sized Glock...

Yes it could be done, but it'd require the large investment of a redesign & all the testing that goes along with it. I think it's unlikely because I don't see them spending the time and money on it to sell a smaller number of 10mm handguns. I don't think that it's going to be economically feasible.

Having said that if the XDM came out in 10mm, I would definately buy one, but I'd only do it after they've been out for a while and positive reviews are across the internet.

The 10mm is an outstanding pistol round. My Glock 20SF is one of my favorite guns.

Great round. If they could make the thing fit my hand, then yes. The Glock is too big and I wonder if the XDm would be any smaller

umm was this supposed to be in purple? 'cause they make a .40 and a .45 in an XDm package..... those are both bigger then the 10 mm.

Uhh....

The .40 S&W is a much pared-down 10mm cartridge. It was developed after several FBI employees couldn't handle the size / recoil of their issued 10mm pistols.

And the .45ACP while being larger diameter than the 10mm, the overall lengths of the two are basically identical. However, the 10mm offers almost double the muzzle energy of the .45ACP.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Not because I'm an XDM fan, but because I'm a 10mm fan and any current production gun is on my list.

For years I've been wanting Glock to make a 10mm in their G36 form factor. It'd be a handful, but not a lot more than my G29.

Sorry, I was looking at a purely diameter based comparison. 10mm = .39"... so about a .39 cal.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

According to Wikipedia, both the .40 S&W and the 10mm have a 0.400" diameter bullet.

Same exact projectiles for both, save for the heaviest ones used in 10mm.

Not even close. Both .40 and 10mm use the same bullets, but the difference is about 200-300 more ft-lbs of energy for the 10mm.
