As winter approaches, new challenges enter the concealed carry arena. Heavy clothing on a bad guy and four-legged predator attacks while hunting means that many of us opt for more potent calibers. The ebb and flow of 10mm’s popularity aside, there is no debate that the caliber’s power can solve most problems. With these capabilities in mind, Springfield Armory has introduced a 10mm compact pistol option for those of us looking for that added punch. This is the Springfield Armory XD-M Elite 3.8” Compact OSP 10mm pistol.
