My awesome wife let me get a new pistol for our anniversary!
I've been wanting to get a more powerful handgun for being in the woods up here.  My 9mm seems dainty with all be big game we have around, especially with more grizzlies being seen in the areas I hunt/fish/camp.
I found a great deal online for a Springfield XD-M Elite in 10mm.  I already have a 9mm XD Subcompact, and really like the platform, so I expect this will be the same.

Can't wait for the call from my FFL!

 Nice piece, I think 10mm is the only caliber I don't own yet.

That's what a novice I am in this.  I didn't know they made a 10mm!

Nice anniversary gift Chad!

10mm, because shooting twice is silly!

It's coming back into popularity and not as scarce or expensive as it used to be.  It's an awesome round, and the XDM Elite has a 16+1 capacity.

You should at least try one at the range, lots of fun!

Thank you Verne!  I am so blessed!  She's an amazing woman who gives me a lot of grace.

Those are nice pistols.  Not sure if you reload but I really like a 200gr bullet out of my M&P 10mm, as opposed to the 180gr most commercial ammo offers.  Good for all sizes of varmints, 2- and 4- legged.
