Picked up my new XDm Elite 10MM today. I had some errands I needed to attend with my much better half and so didn’t have a lot of time to shoot it.
I bought this gun to fit a perceived niche I have…that may not really be filled by my .40’s or .45’s, but whatever…price was good so I jumped on it. It replaced the G20 Gen 4 I just couldn’t get used to. Better ergo on this gun for my arthritic and kinda girly hands.
When finished, this gun will have a red dot sight and weapon light. Then, I’ll have a kydex holster made.
The gun came with the “Gear Up” stuff all in one box, so gun, range bag (which is actually pretty nice, five 16-round mags, the misc pistol stuff, and the $20 transfer brought the entire price tag to $603.
I shot 20 rounds of CCI aluminum case 200 gr rounds. Had some kick to them. Gun seemed to shoot fine. I like the sights but it will get an optic soon.
I’m looking at optics and will likely settle for a Swamp Fox Liberty. I have several and they are all holding up great. They have a solid warranty and excellent 1st Responder discount. I hate more and more that they are sourced in China, so may reconsider.
I am NOT impressed by the trigger, but that will wait for more rounds. Long pull and reset. I’ve put several Powder River triggers in XDm’s and that would be my go to if I make that leap. No hurry though.
Still trying to decide which light I want on the gun…probably a Streamlight TLR 1 or TLR 2.
