My XD9 doesn't like Winchester ammo period! - Page 2 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Odd. I've used between 100 - 200 rounds of Walmart WWB in my XD-9 every week for close to 3 months now, and never had a single problem.

The woman at the Sporting goods counter knows me very well, now..

I'd say you should definitely get your firearm looked at...

No problems here with WWB in my 5" Tactical 9.

CheesyD · 08-31-2005, 09:13 PM

My XD-9 Tactical has had zero problems with Winchester WB. It is all I have put through it to date.

Over 500 rds for WWB on my xd40 and not a single problem.

Your XD may have something inherently preventing you from processing WWB. I've used WWB with high reliability, and it's what I shoot the most. My XD however will always have a problem with UMC ammo, guaranteed. I've just accepted the fact that I can't reliably use UMC. That's too bad...you may not be able to take advantage of Wal-Mart's low prices on WWB lest you are willing to deal with jams!

Thousands of WWBs went through my XD9. No problem at all. Sometimes you hear about guns that have a taste of its own and is very selective in ammo. Maybe yours could be one of them?

David_4, I don't think you should take a chance with those 2800 rounds. I will pay for the shipping. I'm just thinking of you bud and I don't want you to go thru any angst.

thousands of WWB through my XD9. it's my favorite practice ammo. dirty, but cheap. i shoot a little deffense ammo for practice with what i'm usualy carrying in my mags, but otherwise its pretty much all WWB.

Man... I have been encourtering the same problems when I shoot WWB and other ammo with my XD-9. I currently have no confidence in my XD and quite frankly it's embarassing when I'm at the range and have multiple extraction failures when only shooting approx. 100 rounds. I thoroughly clean my XD after everytime I shoot and have textbook shooting technique. I also have a SIG P245 compact and have never had a failure with it. I am definately going to send in my XD to Springfield.
