Got my xdm-elite 10mm yesterday. I cannot wait to shoot it. It came 3 weeks behind my ronin 10mm.. these are the 1st two 10mm guns I have owned.

Got to go to the range yesterday. Shot 3 or 4 magazines thru it. I must say it shoots nice, hell I have 9mm's that have more recoil . At 30 yards i never missed the target, several went thru the same hole. I am by far not a great shooter. The grip is a bit big for my hands, but very manageable. Excite to get back to the range this afternoon! No regrets buying it.

I picked up my SA XDm Elite compact 3.8" 10mm from my gun dealer at the gun show yesterday.
First impressions: It is much heaver than it looks. That may also help to lessen the felt recoil?
Disassembled easily.
I ordered 16rd mags and sleeves as I will wait to shop so I can remove the flange as my finky finger sits on top of that and is uncomfortable.

Thanks,
Now I wait for my 16rd mags and sleeves and remove the flanged plate before I shoot it.
I was leaning towards a Sig X-ten but it still has issues for now, maybe compact later and besides I wanted a compact size. (not a glock)
I read much about the XDm 10mm compact and most to the positive.
At this point I am not sure if I will change to Tritium Sights or go with Holosum green circle dot.

There are a few on here that do have them and like'm. I have the precision model (5.25") that's a good functioning gun. I have the 40s&w that matches it also. Those are the only 2 SA products I own. The m1a is on my to buy list. My other 10mm guns include are m&p 2.0 (4"), g20, g40, 1 carbine and a Mech-Tech upper for Glock's. The M-T cost about $650 complete and it has run 100% perfect. The hotter the round the better it shoots.

I'll pass on a bullpup.

Bull pup rifles and conversion kits will never be widely accepted in America, but they can be fun to shoot range toys... having fun shooting is not a bad thing.

I remember this original post when it first hit the forum and around that time I had no interest in a 10mm handgun, after thinking long and hard I decided to pick one up. Originally I was looking for a 4.5 inch barrel but they were unicorns at all my favorite LGS’s I continued to casually browse three different shops and finally found a Elite compact 3.8 although it was optic (red dot) ready it didn’t have the Wasp included which I was happy about as I already decided to go with a Holosun. I only have about 500 rounds through it but find it to be a fantastic shooting gun, I have larger then average hands so I exclusively use the extended mags, I like the gun so much I picked up the Elite 45ACP version of the same gun, they are both sporting a Holosun 507C X2
They both are stamped Compact but to me they are full size guns, they shoot great conceal very well and have run flawlessly.
For years I carried a Mod2 Grip Zone version in 40SW now it’s either my 10mm or 45ACP Elite 3.8 guns and feel very safe doing so.

@Mike H. When can we expect to see an 'Armory Life Presents' on the Echelon? Now that I have my XDM Elite 10MM, I'm eyeing the Echelon as my next must-have.
That's a really good idea!
Probably something I should be working on, huh? Stay tuned....
