Slightly off topic but I am thinking about getting either the XD tactical, or the XD M.

I already have the XD 9 service. The new gun will be for competition, but I have a question. Seems like I read somewhere that the barrel length of the M is 4.50 which would put it between the 4 inch service and the 5 inch tactical. Is that correct?

I use the service for IWB concealed carry. If I get the tactical is would be primarily for competition.

I wonder if the M would be a good choice for both, only 1/2 shorter barrel than the tach, but with a better barrel and adjustable sights.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated as I am going to the gun store this week.

Thanks in advance.

.40SW = the new XDM model.. I notice that the mag spring has a strange twist to it when its put into the mag... it seems to torsion about it's axis.

It should be an excellent choice especially after they get some tune up parts for the trigger, though it may not need them.

Could it be maybe holding the gun a little too loose? It's over 100 F in the indoor range where I fire.. ?

Yes limp wristing can cause all kinds of problems.

I had the same exact jam. Last round in the mag. I have shot 200 rounds WWB and it has only happened one time. I think it's the mag.

[makarov9b]

so this also happened with your XDM? or another XD model?

Hello,

Yes this happened with an xdm. It was the second time to the range and the 1st time I had used that specific magazine. I only used one magazine the first time to the range. It only happened one time and I ran two more full mags through the gun with no problems. I am also new to handguns and I am learning the proper grip so it definitely could have been something I did. It was the last round in the mag.

hope this helps.

I'm going to the range again next week, I'll post if I have any more problems.

Where the magazines spring hooks into the follower... Bend it up so that it forces the follower up at the front of the magazine. Not too much but just a little.
