I personally think that a Hellcat Pro-ish sized pistol, with a capacity of 10+1 and in .45 ACP, would be the most perfect gun to make. It could also probably be offered in 10mm as well.
Any chance Springfield? Right now, there are few guns to fill that place; the XDM 45C is 9+1, and the grip is too short. The Glock 30 is fat in all dimensions, and reloads are slow because of the large magazine basepad. Really, only the original XD45 Compact checks all of the boxes for me, but a Hellcat Pro would be significantly better. |

I don't think they even make the XDS in 45 anymore, which was its main selling point.

It will never happen, IMHO. They are investing in 9mm now and nothing I can foresee will change that. The .45 ACP is my favorite caliber - but I fear that current trends in pistols will make it less viable over the next decade.

But we do need more fantastic plastic carry guns in that caliber as well! |

Bump!
I just bought the 10mm XDM Elite 3.8 and it’s awesome. Also own an OSP hellcat. :) |
