I use a 13lb. spring in my tactical 9mm, and it feels smooth! And never had any more problems.

I know what you mean. I thought I did OK at the match, had a couple of good stages. It floored me to realize I'd won. Got a $500 gift certficate toward the MSRP (heh) of any Springfield product. I chose the Tactical XD40 and still had to pay extra $$ to get it.

We really should've had a little gathering during that weekend. But I am good to go any weekend you feel like coming up. They have IPSC and IDPA matches on that range the 1st and 3rd weekends of the month. Rest of the time it's free.

Hey, let me know when you're coming up James.

It'd be cool to get together sometime.

I've got a 20# spring in my Tactical and it works great.

I run a 24# spring in my XD357 adn my XD40 and have never had so much as a hiccup. I swap back and forth between them for IDPA matches... I use the 16# in my XD40 Tactical (IPSC / USPSA) and have never had a FTF or FTE with it either...

Am I experiencing something out of the ordinary? The Tactical only has about 1200 round through it, but the XD357 has over 7000 andthe XD40 has well over 10K.... hmmm..

I don't think so, lots of us have experienced different things. Something that works/didn't work for one person may not be the same for someone else. I say just go with what works. It's just the rust thing; why can I do nothing but shoot my XD at the range and matches for weeks and not wipe it down with no consiquenses. Then other folk's blasters are rusting after sitting the garage for a couple of hours???

I am not starting another rust debate, just drawing a comparison.
