So I saw luke's response, but how many of you have actually shot the 10mm in a compact frame? Is it a problem with recoil or is this gun a good option?
So, I have a problem passing up a good sale on a gun. I have an XDM 4.5 10mm, but thought this would be a better option for carrying behind a bino pack. I don't think recoil is any worse with the compact version. I shot a couple mags of cheap 180gr target ammo, then a mag of Underwood 200gr hardcast. I've got big hands and could only wrap my pinky under the grip, but didn't have have trouble controlling the recoil. My wife was able to shoot it without any problems as well, but I don't think she'd go through a whole box of ammo with it!
