Best 10mm pistol

Sig P220 SAO in 10mm was the most accurate pistol I ever owned, but it sent the spent cases into the next zip code. I reload, so that wasn't a feature...it was definitely a bug for me. It wasn't a weak recoil spring. I have it on good authority that they all did it. It just got traded off last month in a deal for a new 686 Mountain Gun. Now THAT has become my most accurate handgun. I still have a G20 with plenty of spare mags if I need some semiauto horsepower.
 
G20 for me is unbeatable. It’s not the fanciest gun out there, and yeah, the grip is a bit on the chunky side. But it packs 15+1 of fullpower 10mm, and is dead reliable. Plus, finding parts and holsters isn't an issue since it's everywhere.
 
I just ordered an XDm Elite, because I of how much I like my XDm 45 and my holsters for it should fit the new 10mm.

What is your purpose for it? I bought it for a WY Elk hunt on the edge of grizzly country. I'd never own a 10mm in a polymer frame if I planned for it to be one of my high volume guns. This is put a few mags down range a year and fight to my rifle if I ever need it.

I enjoy my Springfield Armory XDm a lot. It gobbles up any ammo I run in it. I just purchased a Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 (4 inch barrel) and it self-ejects every magazine I try in it. S&W sent a replacement magazine catch which I will test out shortly. AFTER I purchased this M&P 2.0 in 10mm I learned that I’m not the only person to experience this.
[ just my 2 cents]

I added the following items-

Wolff extra power magazine springs

Tyrant Designs Extended Magazine Release

Galloway Precision assembled Stainless Steel Guide Rod for Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 Compact 4" Pistols, Spring rate: 22LB

I ran approximately 60 rounds through it and it ran perfectly fine. Various ammo brands/types. I’m very happy with it (now). This is the softest shooting, most ergonomic and compact 10 mm I have ever owned or shot.

As a side note, I ran some Hornady American Gunner 155 gr XTP through it and holy crap! That is some full-power pellets there. THAT ammo is what the 10mm was originally about… strong and stout.

Just wanted to give OP and the rest of all-ya-all an update on my particular situation. Cheers!

(Brand new it dropped the magazines every 3rd or 4th shot with all ammo types)
