I have the original 10mm XDM (not the elite) with the 4.5 inch barrel and it has been flawless. I’ve fed it everything from underwood and buffalo bore to watered down ammo as well as my own hand loads and it has eaten everything.

@@Hammerback0 I do agree he could free hand long range but the level stand accuracy test was surprising

[@jacobcombs2269]

That's also why they have so much more felt recoil. I like 10mm for the power. If not I would have just bought a 9mm or three 40. You can get a multiple spring recoil setup to deal with those issues though. Like the dsm triple recoil guide rod. I can shoot light 45 all the way to 45 super and it also has lighter recoil. Might eventually have a failure do to the gun being designed differently. Just make sure you test and train or don't carry it. Use it as a range gun. Or have a back up or at least a rock to.throw at them while you clear the malfunction lmao

[@Supercharged1976]

If you plan on carrying the SIG for human defense don't bother. Bought one and every brand of 180gr hollow point jammed up in the mag....including Sigs own 10mm ammo. So unless all you plan to run is ball ammo or narrow faced ammo don't waste your money. I was so mad and all Sig would tell me is "The mags were designed to very tight tolerances to maintain the smaller grip" So basically any wide mouth hollow point is going to jam up in the slide. I sold it in less than a week of purchase. I simply wrote them back and said "I'm highly disappointed that I'm having $200 budget gun issues with a $900 sig." Never again. I'll stick with H&K, Smith, Springfield, and Canik.

[@clarkbutts2210]

Yeah I had the same problem with my x10 it is very difficult to put mag in gun with 15 rounds.im not worried about a short grip just make it so the magazine can take 15 bullets my xdm magazines hold 16 bullets.no problem. These 10 mm guns are basically designed for carrying in the woods. Sig x10 won't fed certain bullets. Because they are to long for the magazine.you have to pick your ammo so it will feed right. The gun will run flawlessly with the right ammo.

[@user-jq5px3sk8g]

Sig tweaked ALL of those issues in the updated XTEN CARRY COMP. That is now the GOLD STANDARD for 10mm. I’ve been a certified instructor for over 35 years. And a shooting competitor for longer than that. Before that I taught the infantry as an officer. The XTEN COMP is second to none.

[@rbarnhart2753]

No bad choices here, but for me it's definitely the M&P. I have the 4.6 10 mm and it fits my hand perfectly.

[@Isaac_The_Arm_Warrior]

beautiful gun for sure

[@Sirgromulus]

Very good review! The XDM is and was my choice, specifically the 3.8" compact model. I like the smaller size for backwoods camping and hiking in black bear country. Its virtually the same size as a Glock 19. Like many. I did remove the magazine well for better grip comfort. The extended magazine is a great option as well when a "larger" grip and capacity are required. The trigger is fantastic and it has fed everything I put through it, including hard cast Buffalo Bore and Underwood. My only gripe is the relatively smooth grip texture but a set of Talon grips fixed that. I paid $504 after a 10% Springfield discount along with another 10% discount from my LGS. I was never a Springfield fan but this gun and my Hellcat Pro have made me a convert.

[@freddiedorris3788]

Basically your opinion on Springfield can stay the same, what you like is a HS produkt made pistol from Croatia.

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

@@onpsxmember Croatia makes a very good pistol, if you do not like it because it is made overseas then that’s your choice. I own over 100 handguns and I would guess 25 or more are made outside the USA. Try to keep in mind that these XD & XDM’s pistols protect Americans and American Families.

[@mattandrews8528]

As a proud XDM OSP 10mm owner, and it was the first handgun/gun in general purchase I’ve ever made I’m very fond of it and the 10mm as a whole. So very interested in seeing your thoughts on comparing the evolved XDM and the two new 10mm handguns on the scene from Sig and S&W, I have multiple pistols from all three companies, and I got high respect for all of em. So deciding which one is “best” is sure a hard thing to do. Putting any certain brand favor one might feel aside and making the choice would leave me sitting at a gun store or staring at an online store’s page for days trying to decide which one to choose. For now I’ll stick with my original XDM OSP 10mm with a compensator on the end, the new XDM has a better trigger and another round for the capacity, but I don’t think that’ll make me replace the one I have already.

The Sig Romeo is made for 10mm and they (Sig) specifically tells you that if you don't get a better quality optic for your 10mm, it's not going to last long. The Romeo so far, holds out longer for 10mm than other optics.. 10,000 rounds. I don't remember what others they tested with but ask about then if you buy one. I thought that was a very interesting side note to 10mm pistols and optics that most people would not consider when making that purchase.

[@vincentdivita7800]

Glad I saw this. Didn't think twice about the added recoil. Think Holosun 407's qualify as centimeter ready? Been thinking about switching it onto the M&P.

[@J.Wick.]

I'm an M&P guy. That said, I have the 4" MP10. It was a headache from the first trigger pull. Constant FTF, FTE, Mag Ejection, etc. Sent in to SW, came back with a new slide. It's much, much improved afterwards. Ive installed an APEX 45 Duty trigger internals into it (same OEM shoe). That cleaned up the trigger alot. 0 grit now, it was very gritty before. I've got close to 1500rds thru it so far. I love it. All that said, if I were to do it again, I'd go with that Springfield XDME. Most likely the 4.5" or bigger if there is one. I already have a Glock 30 with a 10mm conversion barrel for the "pocket" size. It would be first Springfield of any kind. In my opinion, it's the one to get out of these 3 with all factors combined. Great video as usual sir!

@@thebusterdog921 Since grizzlies are mainly in Wyoming and Alaska I would have to guess they mean black bears - which have large ranges in the western and eastern US. 10mm would also be useful against other large animals that may attack in the woods such as mountain lions, moose, or wild boars.

Id like to see an updated vs with the M&P 2.0 performance center with the slide ports & upgraded trigger 🔥

Personally, the XTen. Just because it has the 5" barrel. I have a XDM .45 with a 4.5" barrel, and I have 1911s in .45 and 10mm with 5" barrels. I prefer the 5" for the longer sight radius and increased velocity. None of these are CCWs for me, so more power is better.

[@scbane]

I bought the 4.6" M&P 2.0 10mm, out of pure necessity. WA State banned "high cap mags" starting July 1st, 2022, and we have a 10 day waiting period. The week before that, I called every LGS in 200 miles, found the M&P at Stans Merry Mart (highly recommend if you are close to Wenatchee, WA.) Got paperwork started and handed the mags on June 29th. Love it, so far. I am a 10mm guy, have G20's with the Lonewolf TW-L frame, 10mm 1911's, EAA Match 10mm, etc, etc. Plan on buying the Sig next month. Maybe I will look at Springfield, but I am still pissed about the Springfield donation debacle of several years ago.

I have the Smith & Wesson 4.6 and the Springfield 3.8 Elite compact. I feel I've been very fortunate with the Smith & Wesson no malfunctions after 1,000 rounds of hot ammo. I had to send the Springfield back for a failure to feed since I've gotten it back it is also proved very reliable. I don't think I agree with you on the triggers after about 100 rounds through the Smith & Wesson. The trigger mellowed out balanced out and breaks very crisply and the reset is very short. Extremely easy to predict. Although the Springfield trigger is okay it is a bit soft. After all you're shooting 10 mm. I like that crisp break before it fires great video thank you so much

The RIA is a great gun too and is double stack but the 1st one I had was a lemon and was actually replaced. The 2nd one was decent but I had I had it worked over and the large mag well replaced with a carry version. It is 100% but the gunsmithing adds to cost.

[@Scout4x]

Accuracy can be affected by the choice of ammo. Magtech ammo might be good for the XD-M but not for the Sig. I wonder how using several brands of ammo might change the outcome of accuracy?

[@Ten_Mil_Will]

Yea, maybe that particular flavor in that particular pistol is a bad mix. Something is weird because I have the X Ten and it prints very tight groups. I was surprised when I saw this.

[@3wheelmannc860]

All are fantastic offerings. In that full size platform, which for me would be a range / fun size gun, I would have to go with the Sig due to the 5" barrel. The SA 3.8 is my choice if considering a carry option. I still like the Glock 40 at the range as well and will always be a runner due to the quality and that longer barrel.

I have the XDM-E 10mm compact. It has the best trigger of any striker fired pistol I’ve ever shot. Period. I very much like the grip angle, and the controls are in very intuitive locations without being too high or two low. My only complaint with the 3.8 is I wish the grip were about 1/8 - 1/4” longer to facilitate greater purchase with my pinky finger on presentation. Yes, there’s a grip extension magazine, but it’s a bit bulky. Oh, it’s kinda ugly too. I’ve shot older XDM compacts and while very accurate, they were otherwise meh, with horrible spongy triggers.

Great video, im between 3 10mm pistols right now also but instead of the m&p, its a rock island tac ultra with the threaded barrel.

[@paranrs]

You posted this 7 months ago, so I imagine you've probably made a decision already. My brother carries the Springfield 10mm in Alaska, I'm more of a Sig guy so I chose the XTen. The Sig is fantastic, with the best trigger of any striker fired gun I've tried and complete reliability. But a good friend let me shoot his RIA 10mm. It impressed me so much that I picked up the RIA Tac Ultra HC with the threaded barrel. After several hundred rounds it has also impressed me as excellent. Trigger feel is important to me, so that ruled out the M&P immediately.

[@DeanPatterson-j9q]

Good show , liked them all. Have the M&P , and buying an Sig X 10 soon.

I recently had a bad batch of Magtech 10mm 180gr FMJ. I bought 8 boxes, 4 boxes from one specific lot number and that lot number had issues with between 14 and 16 out of 50 from every box (the last 2 boxes was after not hearing back from Magtech for almost 2 weeks). I contacted Magtech customer service, received an email from Erin McManus on 7/19 asking for more info and photos. I sent everything requested the same day and it's now 2 weeks later and I have not heard anything. Magtech customer service sucks and I will never buy their ammo again.

Great review, from a top expert; your opinion is always welcomed; pun intended 🙂. It's great info so head to the "rental" counter at your local range and give them all a try. The M&P fits better in my hand as the Sig tends to feel a bit big for my hand size (med; or maybe small medium). Have not had any experience with the Springfield, but I always hear the RSO's like them a lot.

The M & P Dosent handle hot bear loads very well. Others, no problem. Springfield XDM-Elite is awesome w the Talon grips. Just gotta order by the number on your back grip. I kept the magwell flair on my 4.5 inch. Had to do some trimming on the Talon before installing. You'll need a hair dryer for final stage. Easy to do.

Why no Glocks, for the fan boys.. That XDM is a sweet shooter. That would be my preference, having shot all of the above pistols. My XDM 40 is one of my favorite pistols. Good video and I agree, get some Talon grips. I hate slick grips.

[@hurricaneaquatics]

My first 10mm was the M&P 2.0 10mm from S&W. It did the SAME thing as in this video, but worse. I was a bit sick. I changed the upper spring to a 24 pound, but haven't shot it since. I have a Glock 20 and a 29 on 10mm. I am going to pick up the Sig 320 10mm and the Springfield XDM 10mm. I'm thinking the Springfield is going to be my favorite. I've heard nothing but good things from the Springfield.

[@oseaghin]

Word of warning on the M&P: if you're "lucky" enough, it may drop magazines. This issue is very-well documented on the S&W forum and Medium.

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

from my (the camera) point of view, the S&W M&P was the snappiest recoil of the three don't know if the shooters feels it that way but all in all what counts is which feels the best in hand even while not firing would be nice to see a 4th competitor Glock 20 in the mix

A very nice, reliable 10mm 1911 is made by Rock Island. Look up reviews. There are several different models available at various reasonable price points with capacities from 8 to 16 rounds, threaded barrels, etc. I have the RIA Tac Ultra HC with threaded barrel. It's been 100% reliable and accurate for me. I used to be a Glock fan until I branched out and discovered CZ, Sig, SA, etc. I no longer own Glocks. They just don't perform as well as the others, the trigger is awful, and that proprietary grip angle is a poor design for me. What ruined it for me was having to send two brand new guns back to Glock for repair, and only one came back fixed. The other one never did work well. But they give great discounts to LE so they remain popular.

Just checked them both out and loved the P320, but always had Springfield’s. This video is extremely helpful, thanks.

[@tristantimothy1004]

Joel, Alaskan bushman here. Bears are a CONSTANT threat up here & the 10mm is taking over the 44s & bigger for " In your face" bear attacks. Like you i dont shoot handguns much but my new Springfield XDM Elite compact is Freikin awesome! Only handgun ive ever had i dont have to aim to hit dead on. Just point & shoot. Did my tryout drills with 220 grain Underwoods hard casts ( coated) @ 1300 FPS I was able to pull & put 2 double taps into a 5 inch circle in just over 1 second @ 15 yards. ( Sideleg military open holster.) Thats MORE than enough to blow a charging bears brains out BEFORE it gets you. Having been bear attacked 5 times in my 38 years out here ive never seen a bear try to attack anything by running backwards. Just remember a bears brain is BELOW/ between its eyes. In the eye, up the nose or just under the ear is a definate brain shot. ( learned that the hard way, shot my 1st bear through the head above its ears.( 300 win mag rifle) Only stunned it temporarily. Then it came back even more pissed.) Black bears are FAR more dangerous than Grizzlies are once theyre bigger than you. Natural maneaters most closely related to Polar bears. Ambush hunters too! Sneaky bastards that will appear to be running away when theyre really just circling around to ambush you from behind. Quiet as freikin ghosts too. They WILL eat you alive so fight for your life if you get attacked because they wont quit until you kill them or hurt their nose bad enough. In an attack kill the SOB if you can. Ive tried both the Underwoods & the Buffalo Bore solid bear bullets. The Underwoods shoot smoother & hit just as hard at half the cost. More accurate too. 1 last tip. Bears ALWAYS die with their eyes OPEN. IF eyes are closed theyre just trying to bluff you in closer for another attack. Good luck out there bud & God be with you! 😁

[@tristantimothy1004]

Joel, One more lil experience tip. In an attack your adrenalin is going to spike instantly. Youll never feel the recoil or hear the bang until after the bears down & youre NOT. IM a lil guy w small hands. With the smallest backstrap the Elite compact fits my hands just right. Got attacked by a moose from 20 yards away. Put 5 HOT bear loads through its sternam w the 44 & as it came crashing down on my sled i jumped sideways & put the last round through both its shoulders point blank. Only knocked it over the 3 ft snow berm & it STILL hobbeled past both sleds & got back on the trail before finally collapsing. Found all 5 of the 320 grain WFNHC slugs just under the fur rear flank. 4 through the heart. My son on the sled behind me said all he saw was one continous flame & one big roar until the shoulder shot. Its amazing what we can do when were scared silly! In an emergency youll do just fine. I WOULD suggest you practice just point shooting. W practice cheaper rounds. It developes muscle memory that will kick in when the SHTF. No sights. Wont have time to use em anyway in a close up attack. And, forget bearspray. It never works in a full out attack. Just pisses the bears off more. I spent 25 years with the AK F&G dept as a remote wildlife spotter & id ban that stupid spray if i could. When blackies partially climb a tree theyre just looking for a better advantage point to attack their targets from. Bears are SMART! Never underestimate their intelligence. Standard F&G advise up here about " cabin bears" is shoot them ASAP. Once they start coming around they only get bolder & more agressive. That would apply to the lower 48 as well. The more people theyre around, the more dangerous they get.

[@PhillyPhan77]

Thanks for all your input. Fortunately for us so far the black bears have ran the other way and left us alone. So far my XDM Elite hasn’t had any problems other than me lol. I can’t seem to hit my target consistently at all. Mine came with the HEX red dot which I seem to struggle with. Again I’m relatively new to handguns, so I know I just need the practice. My thoughts were moving to the longer barrel might be better for me as a beginner. The XDM 4.5” or Sig P320 XTen.

[@tristantimothy1004]

@@PhillyPhan77 , Personally, id dump the optic. In a real attack you wont have time to use it at close range. Lotsa good vids out on " sence" shooting. Youll amaze yourself at how easy it is, especially up close. As for the longer bbl. I prefer the compacts for weight. Easier/faster to swing about & control for me. But thats a personal thing. We have LOTS of bear problems up here in Alaska. People gettinh killed just out walking in TOWN! My biggest blackie was a 10 footer. But that time i had lots of distance & a 45/70 lever action rifle & dumped his butt @ 100 yards with 1 shot center mass directly in the chest. Here, a handgun is only a backup for " IN YOUR FACE" stuff when you cant get your rifle into play first. Since getting my 10mm i dont even carry the 454 Casull anymore. No bear on earth can take 4 in the face & still attack. But again, i stress, its ONLY a backup to the kick ass rifle. Had a big blackie try to grab my wife off the back of our 4 wheeler. Saw it coming in the rear view & barely had time to snatch the rifle out of its carrier & swing it behind us shooting the bear in the face point blank. Blew its brains out of its butt. 420 grain WFNHC @ 2300 FPS. Almost a 458 load. Just the muzzle blast blew his head apart. Thats why i put the big rear view mirrors on the 4 wheeler. Damn sneaky blackies hide until you pass them & then try to attack from behind. I smelled him. Knew he was CLOSE. Was ready! Reached down & cocked the rifle just in case. Few seconds later saw the bushes shake & knew he was coming. THAT, was close! Muzzle was literally on his nose when i pulled the trigger. Course the rifle flew out of my hand due to the tremendous recoil but it didnt matter. Bear was down & we werent. Recovering the rifle was easy but you can bet the 454 was in my hand immediately afterwards. Exciting day! 😁
