The XD-M Elite represents the pinnacle of full-size, polymer-framed pistol design. It is built around the META (Match Enhanced Trigger Assembly) trigger for the ultimate performance in a striker-fired firearm. The META trigger sports a flat face, crisp break and integral overtravel stop that combine to deliver the best trigger in a factory polymer-framed pistol. Upgrades like an extended and flared magwell, ambi slide stop and enhanced slide serrations make the Elite a must-have option. The Elite's redesigned slide serrations give you larger and enhanced grasping grooves for even better purchase. The hammer-forged barrel is designed to deliver long life and match-grade accuracy, while its loaded chamber indicator is designed as both a visual and tactile indicator of the pistol's status. Springfield Armor XD-M Elite Compact OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) is EDC-ready. The XD-M Elite Compact OSP is designed for concealed carry, combining impressive capacity and performance with concealable dimensions for ease of carry. The match grade Melonite finished barrel maximizes ballistic performance while remaining compact for concealability, and the compact grip frame houses a double-column stainless steel magazine.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 10mm Automatic is a powerful semi auto cartridge. With the proper bullet in capable hands it is suitable for hunting medium size game at close range. Although it has been used on large dangerous game including Cape buffalo and the great bears it is not ideal for such game. The round is capable of pushing a 180 grain bullet to 1,300 FPS from a 5” barrel. This exceeds the power of a .357 magnum by a good margin and is closely on the heels of a .41 magnum. Bullets are .400” diameter and range from 125 grains to 220 grains. Once in service with the FBI, it is now considered excessive in recoil and stopping power for law enforcement use. Hand guns and ammunition is available from most major manufactures.
