I just purchased a new Xd .45acp service model new and I noticed that it had powder in the barrel and the burn marks associated in the chamber where the firing pin is. Said it was new and paid retail price came with everything including the first round fired. Any Thoughts? Thanks

maybe was the ballistics test...idk

I would think that too but wouldnt they clean it. I had to completely clean it and black just came out all over. Seems its been shot but I didnt think the dealer could sell as new if that was the case

Function check not ballistics. They get tested with a couple magazines during the final inspections process.

my 45 was filty dirty, both 9mm were really clean wheni got them new, i figure they test with cheap cheap ammo ,

My new XD-45 was dirty upon inspection. I cleaned it and all kinds of grit and soot came out of the barrel.

I suspect it is tested at the factory for functionality. Probably one magazine and then you get one spent shell in n envelope. At least I did.

I for one am glad they test it out first because it cuts down on the lemons that go out because Lord knows the dealers don't test out each gun and I don't mind them not cleaning it. It only took me a minute as it was not extremely dirty and and they probably don't do it as a cost saving feature.

I mean look at the prices we get these get guns at. Cleaning each one would only increase the labor cost for each gun that they ship out.

Yep

No they don't clean them before shipping. All of mine have had powder residue in them. So have most all of the other guns I have gotten including revolvers.
