I personally run a Glock 40 MOS.
No I'm not a Glock fan boy
Underwood ammo is what you want. They load 200gr XTP's pushing 1250fps
They also offer a 115 gr Lehigh penetrator going 1700fps!

I would stay away from the XD. Outsourced parts and questionable reliability.
I would like to see your source on information.
I have heard nothing but great reviews, and having multiple XDs, I have never had an issue with either of them.

Go shoot both and pick the size that you like best.
I would go for the 4.5, but the 5.5 might be more comfortable for many while shooting the 10MM.

Its 5.25............and if you check real world testing of premium hand gun ammo you will see a lot of the results advertised (esp. velocity) are exagerated. The hornady ammo did well in independant testing.

I have heard great stuff about underwood, but never used it. I shoot buffalo bore 220 gr hard cast out of my Glock 20 and love it. I have killed two black bears with it, one shot each.
Nice :tup:
Are you running an aftermarket barrel?
Post by: Alchase on October 15, 2019, 06:15:10 PM
Both are very good pistols. Like any pistol they can have issues, but so far from my experience they have been exemplary in quality and reliability.
While I have replaced the triggers (Powder River Precisions for my XD’s and XDs’s) on every pistol I have owned, they have a decent factory trigger. You do not have to do spring, striker, or do barrel replacements like some others to shoot extremely well.

The XD is the Springfield Armory licensed version of the HS 2000.

I love my XD .45. Never had a single. I'd like to try one of the 10mms.

I’ve had the G20, G29 and EAA Witness. I like shooting the XD much better. Th Glocks suffer from unsupported chambers which lead to the Glock Smile. Also the Glock barrels are supposedly not compatible with lead bullets. Maybe these aren’t issues for most when shooting 50-100 rounds a year of factory ammo, but for a hand loader who shoots several hundred a year it makes a lot of difference. I’ve also tried several of the aftermarket barrels for the Glocks but found none of them reliable.

I bought this pistol and like it a lot so far. I really like the gun fighter chest holster too but downside is cant run my Bino harness at the same time.
This is something I have an issue with as well. May need to find a way to run a holster or my binos off my pack for next season.

And if anyone ever gets bored with their 10's or they just want a little more, you can always put a 460 Rowland conversion kit in it. :tup:
No, you can't. The 460 needs a breech face sized for 45 ACP, not the smaller 10mm breech face. Gotta start with a 45.

Shooting an XD tactical converted to 45 super. 285's over 1500 . Friend of mine introduced me to it a few years ago . Love the XD . Zero issues with it , more than 2000 rounds of supers and acp down the barrel . Thought about a 10 just for s&g ! Used to shoot Glock , still got a bunch of brass somewhere.....
I hope you meant 185s at 1500. Even that is hot for the Super.

I was thinking that’s awfully hot for a 454.
