i was at the range shooting my xd 9mm subcompact and it was having problems with the spent casing getting jammed in the barrel and sometimes halfway out causing the slide to stay part open any ideas what the problem could be? thanks

btw it happened on both 10 rd mags and i was using remington umc 115 gr. jacketed hollow points....i put 100rds through it today

is that the only ammo you tried ? might be the ammo.

bazer1 · 02-10-2007, 02:57 PM

yeah it is....thats what i was wondering....possibly to light? higher gr. maybe

shouldnt be too light maybe the brass used in the case im not an expert by any means but i did see an older browning hipower once that would not shoot a brass cased cartridge aluminum and steel cases shot fine just my exspirience

Hmm UMC I have never had and that happen in the Xd But the rugger yes found that little lube on the slide and a stronger grip stoped it just my Opinoin

Maybe limp wristing or rough chamber. Does the bullet in the mag block the case from ejecting?

Is it me, or is this becoming a more common issue?

Its you.

Is this a new gun, or you just happened to shoot 100rds today. Can't tell from your post.

Limp wristing, lack of proper lubrication, lack of cleaning the cosmoline off a new XD's rails, or simple break in of a new XD.

FWIW I dislike the dusty copper residue that UMC ammo leaves in my guns. I'd rather clean up after dirty WWB

You say that with such absolute resolve.

Limp wristing: check
Lack of lube: check
Lack of cleaning the cosmoline of a new XD's rails: WTF?
Simple break-in of a new XD: FTE/FTF shouldn't be an issue on ANY gun if it's going to be considered reliable.

I've seen a lot of posts about FTE/FTF issues, myself included, and from what I can see, either it's an on-going issue that no one wants to talk about, or, it's a more recent issue, which could indicate something changed in the manufacturing process.
