Issue while at the range - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Finally got to take out my xd 40 service and went through 200 rounds.

3 issues came up but only two that causes worry.

1 stovepipe when I shout a round off without the magazine in the well. Maybe I was limpwristing.

2 times the slide locked back while I still had about 3 rounds left in the mag. Didn't take note if it was the same mag or not.

Did the second ever happen to anyone?

My first time out I had an instance where the slide locked back when the mag wasn't empty. I never did notice if this happened or not, but I thought maybe my thumb was hitting the slide lock. I tried a different grip that would prevent my thumb from riding up and I haven't had the problem again. I'm not sure if this is the only way the slide would stick open like that however, could be other causes but I think that was mine.

You might take a look at this.

I bought my 40 sub about four months ago and it looks like SA made some adjustments compared to what this fella found.

It is not uncommon to have a malfunction in ejection when there is no mag in the gun--don't worry about it. As for locking back with rounds in the mag, make sure your thumb isn't coming up under the slide stop lever--it's a common situation. My problem is usually the reverse, my thumbs ride so high that I tend to press down on the lever and the pistol DOES NOT lock back when it's supposed to.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to head home later and check the clearance in my XD.
