[QUOTE=rluca1;3405089I told the women that this means i have to carry round in chamber then due to slide being locked back at time of inserting magazine. [/QUOTE]
So what's wrong with that? The XD line is perfectly safe with a round in the chamber due to the two safeties involved. An empty gun isn't even a good club and it takes time and two hands to load - neither of which you may have in a "social encounter".

Sorta. Most manuals will specify how many rounds the mag will hold. The "+1" designation comes from the option to carry a chambered round. For example, "9+1" means nine rounds in the mag and one in the chamber. You load one round into the mag, chamber it, the drop the mag, and load the specified number of rounds.

The exception to this would be a Pearce +1 magazine extension which does, in fact, add one round to the magazine's stated capacity.

Many magazines can be tough to load to full capacity, especially when new. Get yourself an Uplula. It works miracles when trying to load a mag with stiff springs.

Never had any problems with my xd40sc. 12th rd was a little hard to get in at first, but has gotten a little easier. And as far as not being able to lock the mag in, if never had that problem. Just give her a good slap on the butt!!
