Springfield Armory XDM Elite Compact 10mm - The Most Potent Bear Defense Carry Weapon?

Superior to a 9mm? Exceeds 22LR?

Rounds per size and weight.

The best centerfire, striker fire trigger?

Full and perfectly mirrored ambidextrous controls.

Why sportsmen should carry and present left handed.

The unexpected advantage of a grip safety.

Optics ready?

The Bear threat.

I spent 5 hours in post production shaving little bits that Saved 23 seconds. Partly to make the video flow a little better, but also to show respect to the time of my viewers.
