Maracas in my XD9 sc - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I recently purchased an XD 9 SC and noticed the following the other day.

When using the regular magazine (10 rounds).

If I move the magazine side to side (out of the gun) there is a rattle and it is the bullet showing through the number seven hole that moves back and forth.

The bullet will not rattle if the magazine is in the gun, if I remove one bullet (9 bullets left in the magazine) or if I apply light pressure with my finger on a full magazine .

The gun shoots fine and is is quite accurate so perfomance wise we are ok.

In all my years of experience with pistols I have never noticed this and was wondering if this is 'normal' with the XD line?

I do not feel this to be much of a problem if any but I just find it quite curious.

Mine does it. Several others experience it too. Bottom line is, once it's in the gun it doesn't do it.

Just got one the other day and mine does it to. Not a big deal to me.
