9mm reloads close to OAL max for my XD9 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

FarmerVincent · 03-05-2008, 12:44 PM

I've got a buddy with a bunch of Vhit N310 reloads with an OAL of 1.165, which is apparently close to the 9mm max. He's fed hundreds of them through his G34 with no problems. Does anybody have experience with reloads of this length in an XD9? Any feeding issues?

I can try them at Saturday's IDPA match with my XD9 Tactical, but wanted to see if anybody else had good/bad stories to tell before I do so. I'll have backup factory ammo just in case.

Thanks...

What's the bullet weight and type?

147 gr TMJ, Hornady.

Thanks...

Glocks have shorter magazines internally than the xd. You should be fine, assuming the load isn't too light for the gun to function. G34s are not very finicky pistols so you should test it first. Hopefully your friend didn't load them too light...

or too heavy...

You should try out a couple of mags just to make sure.

Drop one in your barrel and make sure it seats properly compared to a factory round. It should easily fall out when you tip the barrel over.
