The 10mm round is, without a doubt, a fight stopper. With excellent ballistics and heavy bullets, it is often times seen in the backcountry as a bear defense round. This hearty round has gained well-earned popularity as a defensive round, and Springfield Armory has stepped up to give us the tools to run it. One of my favorites is the XD-M Elite 3.8″ Compact OSP 10mm.

MSRP on the pistol alone is $633, while the pistol packed with the HEX Dragonfly red dot optic has an MSRP of $818.
