I have had problems in the past getting magazines to seat properly if they were full (10) + 1 in chamber. This is an XD9 4" service with about 1500 rounds through it. These are all Springfield magazines.

Saturday in an IDPA match with a tactical reload the slide jammed. I guess this would technically be a failure to feed. Couldn't budge it at all. (Ended up withdrawing and going to gunsmith). I spoke to another guy at the club who also has an XD. He told me to never try to load 10 + 1. He has had same problem. Is this an adjustment issue? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Slamming that bad boy in is what got me in "trouble" or at least I thought so.

To answer the previous question--gunsmith put the slide in a vice and "forced" the issue. Not sure how he did it because it happened so fast. Cartridge was "swelled" with two large indentations on each side. He took gun apart and pronounced it fit. Said cartridge "swelled" for unknown reason and would not feed. Not sure what exactly on gun caused the indentations. I thought that perhaps I caused it by "slamming it home".

This was a live round.

To answer a previous post: Exact sequence of events leading up to failure. Tactical reload left one round in gun, that round fired and ejected, top round of full magazine failed to feed and jammed slide.

Could not tap rack, could not move slide by hand. Several other people could not move either. Round eventually came out when gunsmith forced the slide.

This was WWB 115 FMJ.

Subsequent to trip to gunsmith, went back to plate range and put about 50 rounds through it without incident.
