New XD Owner With Issues - XDTalk Forums

redneck47441 · 11-02-2009, 06:25 PM

Hello new owner from Indiana south of Terre Haute! I already owned a XD full size .40 and I just traded my Glock 22 for a slightly used XD SC .40 and went to the range yesterday and had some issues in the middle of shooting the slide would lock back in the middle of a magazine any advice on what the problem could be! I'm hoping it's shooter error not used to sub compact so I ordered a pachmayr #5 rubber grip and pearce mag extensions! Thanks in advance for the help!

Generally speaking, that's almost always a case of your thumb riding on the side release lever and pushing it up.

Pay attention to your grip and see if your thumb is close to the lever.

I was thinking about my thumb riding up and locking the slide that's why I'm thinking I will fix the problem with the rubber grip and mag extensions for better control!
