New to handguns and recent rented the XDM 4.5" .45 and fell in love. Was at my LGS and they had quite a few XDM options. My purpose is CCW and home defense. While at the LGS I was able to get my hands on the XDM 3.8" .45 compact with grip extensions. Love the feel but absolutely hated the grip extensions specifically related to mag release. When I reased the mag with a full grip the mag will not fall unless I altered my grip in an weird way, it kinda gets stuck unless I tilt my wrist. I noticed in the website they have the full size 3.8" in 9mm and .40 S&W but no .45. Anyone have an idea as to why no love for the .45? As I have stated my reason for purchase is CCW and home defense. Only viable option I have would be to jump up to the 4.5" .45 if I want to avoid the whole weird grip with the compact extentions. Is the 4.5" getting too big for a CCW or am I over analizing things? I have no problem dressing around the gun and my state is an open carry. I guess I could get an XD but I really like egronomics of the XDM.

In the bottom line section of the review he mentions a possible "deal breaker" for this model and most other XD pistols. He states " due to the prognathous nature of it's full length guide rod, if it is pressed against a firmly resisting surface at the muzzle end and the trigger is pulled, it will remain in battery and fire". He goes on to say that there are more autoloading pistols for which this is not the case and will survive the situation (therefore help you to survive). He states that "I'm continually amazed that SA does not emphasize this important feature in its advertising. In most cases considering the source I would ignore this statement. If anyone knows handguns and all things handgun related, it is this guy. I'm new to handguns and considering purchasing an XDM model this is concerning to me.

I returned my XDSC40 to Springfield due to a chip missing from the locking block. I found it while stripping for an initial clean. It was purchased new. I did no fire it.

The pictures I sent to Springfield prior to returning are attached. The black and white wireframe image has an orange arrow pointing to where the issue is.

Springfield returned it to me without swapping the locking block and stated they "didn't see anything". I would have felt better if they said "yes, we saw it and it is OK".

I'm new to firearm ownership and am curious about what the opinion of this experienced group feels.

Is this an issue?

Thanks much.

I was breaking in my new XD9 Service pistol, so thankfully I was shooting slowly. About halfway through a box of recently purchased, factory new Independence 115gr FMJ, I pulled the trigger and heard the classic "pop". I've always heard it described that way, but in reality it's more like shooting a paper-strip cap gun:
  • no recoil.
  • sounds the same.
  • a wisp of smoke rises from the chamber.

The slide did not cycle, but I dropped the magazine, cycled the slide manually, ejected the spent case and began my inspection.

I first ran a bore snake down the barrel; blockage. I then field-stripped my gun and took a look into the barrel. Sure enough, the bullet was lodged about 1/3 of the way down. I was shooting at Personal Defense and Handgun Safety (PDHSC) in Raleigh; without batting an eye the staff took the barrel into their work room and removed the bullet. Took about 15 minutes, and I watched as the gentleman (I wish I remember his name) used a brass rod and hammer. No charge, and no barrel damage.

Having a squib (safely) is one of the best learning experiences I've had since I began shooting. I've listened to the description countless times, but actually experiencing a squib is invaluable. I have no idea what the outcome would have been had I been under duress; say, during an IDPA match or intense training. During rapid firing I might very well have performed a "tap-rack-bang" and put another round through the barrel, destroying my gun. I can only hope that the experience has imprinted itself and I'll have the presence of mind next time to cease firing as I did today.

I've read on forums that the vast majority of squibs occur in handloads. Not this one, which means factory ammunition is not immune. It might be rare but it can happen.

By the way, I shot the remainder of the Independence with no issues.

Finally, I want to offer kudos to the staff at PDHSC. Of all the LGSs I've been to in the Raleigh area, the folks at PDHSC are hands-down the best. Their level of service, expertise and advice is without equal, in my opinion.

I have been snooping around a little bit before this and have found this forum to be very helpful. My gun is a 9mm sub compact.

I just got back from my range, and think i have an idea of what is wrong, but maybe the experts here can help me out. I recently put the prp drop in trigger kit, with the non competition striker spring. Not so sure that has anything to do with it.

I was shooting blazer, and had one stove pipe jam out of 100 rounds. But, there was a couple time upon the magazene being empty, the slide didnt catch open, making it appear there was still one in the chamber. Like the loads wernt hot enough to get the slide all the way back to lock position.

Then i switched to my lower power handloads i generally use for cheap target practice. 4.1gn of win ball and 115gr berry jacketed fmj. Each one of those stove piped. Every single one. This is leading me to believe that maybe my gun has too heavy of a recoil spring? What do you think? Iv only shot this gun one other time and had no issues that i can remember. ]]> General SA-XD/XD(M) Talk Bretzy1990 http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-sa-xd-xd-m-talk/236133-whats-wrong-my-gun.html Underwood Ammo - Multiple Failures http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-sa-xd-xd-m-talk/235949-underwood-ammo-multiple-failures.html Wed, 15 May 2013 00:48:42 GMT I love my XDS and also love Underwood Ammo!!

I got a whole bunch of Tulammo Steel/berdan a while back, and gave it a try a couple of days ago. First few clips went fine, but after a while rounds were getting stuck in the mags, (not coming up).

The day I can make my first handgun purchase and continue to follow my roots as a red blooded, gun totting american that makes most politicians tremble. I have decided to get an XD .40 S&W but I'm unsure of which length I should get. I'm stuck between the 4" and the 3" sub-compact. As I understand it due to the CA drop test list I cannot get an XDm or XDs so the XD will be what I have to choose from.

Intended use: EDC mostly but also home protection, training, and competition shooting.

*Basic list of possible deciding factors

4" XD:
Pros- Longer sight radius, slightly more weight to reduce felt recoil, longer grip for a better hold on the gun, longer rail for weapon mounted light and holds 10+1.

Cons- heavier on the belt, both larger slide and handle may imprint, and may reduce EDC possibilities.

3" XD:
Pros- Slightly lighter, shorter slide and handle for concealment, Can put a grip extension on the full sized mag to make a full sized grip, and the girl friend likes the "look".

Cons- Shorter sight line possibly effecting accuracy, more recoil due to less weight, and holds 9+1.

What I'm really unsure about is holster choices, carry options, and individual performance preferably from people that have shot BOTH firearms and can compare head-to-head. ]]> General SA-XD/XD(M) Talk ArmedMilitia http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-sa-xd-xd-m-talk/235404-turn-21-two-weeks-need-make-decision.html Sometimes mistakes pay off http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-sa-xd-xd-m-talk/235370-sometimes-mistakes-pay-off.html Sun, 05 May 2013 22:09:26 GMT I am in the market for a new 9mm, I settled on a rock island 9mm tactical 1911, while searching buds for some mags and ammo I stumbled across an m&p fullsize with a thumb safety, and started doubting my 9mm 1911 purchase, so I decided to give it 24 hours. The next day I logged back on to buds website and no m&p, so back to the ria 1911. While filling out the online Ffl info I started thinking about a sa xdm 9mm compact, had 1 in stock, no more searching, bought it instead. With little to no research. It's the black melonite, I have a 4.5 .40 bitone so the all black is a nice change.

After I sent my payment, I figured I might a well look at what I spent. $650 on, it's the 3.8 with the full size grip, not what I was expecting or looking for, filling a little let down I realized, there are but 3 things a man cannot have enough of; money, steak and Springfield products. A 3.8 inch barrel on a fullsize, 19+1 frame? I believe I made the right choice.

This is my first 9mm, never had or shot one always stuck with .40 or .45, I know it's a bad time to pick up a new caliber, but in hopes that ammo comes back, any ammo recommendations? How much does 9mm usually run? ]]> General SA-XD/XD(M) Talk Theconjuror2008 http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-sa-xd-xd-m-talk/235370-sometimes-mistakes-pay-off.html frame slide guide is uneven ? ? ? http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-sa-xd-xd-m-talk/235344-frame-slide-guide-uneven.html Sun, 05 May 2013 14:18:59 GMT [/IMG]

I *should* be getting my CCP any day now and I'm considering either the XD sub compact .40 or and XDs for carry. Just looking for any thoughts/opinions from those who currently carry one or the other. I like the increased capacity of the SC .40, but it is a bit bigger and heavier than the XDs (at least based on the dimensions provided on the SA website). Obviously both rounds are plenty sufficient for self-defense, so I'm more interested in carry considerations. I currently own a XD 4" .45, so it's not my first go around with the XD platform.

Also, I'm intrigued by the .357 Sig as an EDC round and I've seen some people mention they have XD's chambered in that round. Is that just a barrel swap from a .40 or a custom order from SA? I haven't seen that round listed on the SA website. ]]> General SA-XD/XD(M) Talk HuskerGunner http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-sa-xd-xd-m-talk/235032-xd-sub-compact-40-versus-xds-edc.html XD Sights - Point of Aim?? http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-sa-xd-xd-m-talk/234987-xd-sights-point-aim.html Wed, 01 May 2013 02:32:23 GMT I have a XD357sig and the manual says the sights are "point of aim".

An XD Service model, 4 in. barrel. As I'm looking at the gun and going through the gear, I notice the spent casing from Springfield. I was I interested in the date fired so I would have an idea when the gun was assembled. To my surprise the date was July 2013.

I'm guessing they had many if these envelopes stamped in preparation and then due to the recent spike in sales they just began using what was available. Anyone else ever see this? ]]> General SA-XD/XD(M) Talk gtuck11 http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-sa-xd-xd-m-talk/234697-gun-future.html Glock vs Springfield problem....

Never liked Glocks, still don't.

I no longer have my original XD40, traded that in for a XDM40, eventually bought a XDSC40 and also a XDM9.

Just now waiting on a xdS 9. I'll admit there is still one thing I don't like about the XDs... not being made in America. ]]> General SA-XD/XD(M) Talk bam http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-sa-xd-xd-m-talk/234675-can-t-believe-has-already-been-over-decade.html
