XDm-40 vs XDm Elite 10MM (range report)

[Jsimon78]

Well today I finally got to shoot the XDm-40 and decided to throw in the XDm Elite in 10MM to help along.

I decided to to 180 grain on both calibers so I could see if there was a difference.

The green target here was at 7 yards (which was #2 target) with the .40 S&W XDm.

This lovely target was with the 10MM XDm Elite (sportsman warehouse edition).

After doing 3 targets I did realize there is a difference between the 2 calibers in recoil. The XDm-40 I have needs a little more attention on cleaning and will get a 2nd looking at when I go to Alabama coming up. The ammo used was both from Freedom Munitions since every ammunition manufacturer sets up their products differently (which I personally found out during a range trip with my Glock G23.5).

If you made it this far then you know I was scared too and was screaming in the heat.

Hi @Jsimon78,

Nice workout. You punched a lot of holes in those guys. Was there a lot of difference in felt recoil between the 10mm and the .40? Do both those pistols have the same length barrel? Thanks for sharing your fun!

I forgot to take my XDM to the range last time. I'll take it next week.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Both XDm’s were the 4.5” size. I did notice enough of a difference.

Good shooting but the 1st and 2nd targets show recoil anticipation. The 3rd target looks better. Good job!

I don't remember which i bought 1st, but the xdm's i have are the 5.25" models in 40s&w & 10mm. Both have been reliable, but I haven't shot 180's in the 40. Glad you're enjoying both.

Yeah it happens with me when I go back to 10MM.

180 is fun. Not that much difference between the 2 for recoil but enough to get the job done
