Quote from: Kenk on July 19 2025 01:40:28 PM MDTAfternoon Alabusa, my GX4 has proven 100% reliable thus far, and is frequently carried in my Vedder Pocket Locker for Church. It's actually a pretty darn nice little pistol for the price 😀

I have over 5000 rounds thru mine and it has also been 100%. For sub $300, you cannot beat it.

Thw Xtreme Defender and Xtreme hunter are the exact same bullet. I can tell you firsthand that they are brutal on flesh at 10mm velocities.

My XDm 4.5 is more accurate with 200s at 1230fps than 180s at the same or faster.
My XDm Elite 3.8 is better with 180s than 200s. Both are similar velocities but in the 1100fps range.

Recoil is about the same but the 180s have a tad sharper recoil impulse and the 200s more of a push.

My edc varies according to dress and where i am headed. I carry bith striker and hammer fired. I carry, in a chest holster, a XDm 4.5 OSP 10mm for woods walks and hunting. A XDm 3.8 Elite 10mm for city carry iwb. For short trips around my local area, i carry a Taurus GX4 aiwb. My "Sunday go to meeting" edc is a Springfield Ronin EMP owb.

Having an empty nest, my carry guns are lined uo on my dresser, loaded and ready for carry.

Glad to see the forum back in action!

I use Brass Monkey Bullets. They're 15bhn and shoot great with zero leading thanks to the HiTek coating.

You won't believe how fast they get to you. When I order, they are usually at my door in 2 days, 3 at the latest.

I am getting laser like accuracy with Blue Dot at the upper end of Hornady load data and 200gr pills. In fact, when going for accuracy, I always start with Blue Dot or BE86.

155gr XTPs are brutal on hogs and deer. I have a nuclear load that is use and is laser accurate to 50 yards which is my personal limit.

A +power striker spring eleviates ignition problems in 9mm platforms.

I have a stout 200gr Brass Monkey Bullets load and have zero issues. I see no reason that it will not be overly effective on deer.
My load is pushing the 200gr to an average of 1230fps.

I use 155gr XTPs loaded HOT! They are quite devastating on meat.

Wonder how that Lehigh slug would work on wild pig.

I have used the 150gr and it works great. Sadly, have never recovered a slug though. They are laser accurate out of mu Springfield XDm10 4.5 OSP with a 5.2" barrel.

I have mine set up with a 507 also and like you sold my 29. I could not be happier with this combination. No regrets.

I got the 407 since I could get it with a 6moa dot. I don't care about the circle the 507 offers.
