4004 rounds through my first XD-45... - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Like the title says, I ran 249 rounds through my first XD-45ACP service today, bringing the total to 4004! I shared today's range time with three of my kids. Two sons and a daughter, so all kinds of shooters without a hiccup. We limpwristed, shot gangsta style, one handed, strong and support hand only, and even upside down to try to see if it would hiccup. But it still shoots like a dream, and keeps right on ticking. I did strip it down about halfway and wipe it out, but other than that we just pretty much kept it firing through the whole 249 rounds without much of a break. That thing was too hot to touch by the end! My second XD-45, also service, has only 1416 rounds through with no malfunctions. It now does permanent duty as the nightstand piece, is loaded with Corbon DPX and sports an XML light/laser combo. Been a while since I reported in, so I thought I'd share the continued great service I am experiencing with the XD's. My XD-40SC has 3105 rounds through it, and is without a doubt my favorite .40 handgun even being a sub compact. Out of 25 weapons in the stable, the 3 XD's are still my favorites. Rock on XD! Thanks for such excellent weapons!

Maybe some of you could share some high round counts and fill us in on how your XD's are holding up.

Are you sure it's not 4003 rounds, or 4005? Those off-by-one errors are persistent buggers

I'm somewhere north of 3500 rounds through my XD 45acp Service. Had my first failure yesterday. One round failed to feed, it was a Speer 230 gr. Gold dot. Actually, my Dad was shooting it at the time, and I suspect he limp wristed it, as he is primarily a revolver kinda guy.
