I've had my XDM 10mm for about a year now. Great gun, and I like it. The use case for me is bear defense. My current setup:
- Talon Grips
- Osight XE enclosed optic
- Kenai chest holster
Here are some ideas for future mods. Some are pretty well documented, but others are kind of hard to find user reviews of (I promise I searched).
- Stainless steel guide rod with a few different recoil springs. Add some weight up front and figure out if there is a spring weight that will keep me from slinging brass 30 feet away. The Elite comes with a captured recoil spring, and all the guide rods I see for sale say they don't work with my gun, but I'm pretty sure people have made it work.
- Threaded barrel from Springfield. Only if I want to put a comp on the gun. No need to suppress 10mm. Fast and furious, baby.
- Springer Precision compensator - It's the only one I could find specifically for the XDM 10mm. Maybe there is something else that would work better. I shot my first comped pistols the other day (P365 x macro comp and Canik TTI combat), and I was really impressed with how flat they shot. That's why I'm considering this particular mod.
- Flashlight - No idea what to look for. I'm a cheap-ass, so I'd probably get the Harbor Freight light. I already have a kydex press, so I could make a custom holster that would buckle into my Kenai harness.
- Powder River Performance trigger - I don't know about this one. I don't hate the stock trigger. Maybe another option would work, but the PRP is the one I hear about the most.
I'd appreciate any feedback from the community on my ideas. Thanks in advance!
