Not so anymore with guns like the Range Officer Elite Operator, TRP and the XD-M pistol family.

In fact, I recently had a chance to try out the XD-M in 10mm myself.

Being a big fan of the round and this gun, I could not pass up the opportunity.

I know for a fact that there is a lot of interest in these guns.

It was controllable and comfortable to shoot.

I really enjoyed just plinking away at my favorite steel targets.

Honestly, is there any better sound than the ring of a steel target in your own backyard?

I was definitely surprised at how little the 10mm cartridge actually recoiled.

The felt recoil, movement and handling of the new XD-M 5.25 was exactly like my .45 ACP-chambered XD-M. ## Group God

Call me weird, but I also enjoy testing ammo and shooting groups.

Its a great relaxing project for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

So I was also really looking forward to getting the 10mm XD-M 5.25 because of its adjustable rear sight.

Many have argued that an adjustable-sighted pistol may be too fragile for every-day carry and hard range use.

And I am not necessarily easy on my pistols this shooter shoots!

I took out my new 10mm XD-M 5.25, and spent a few hours calling for coyotes.
