Sorry for the redundancy, but I'm not convinced I've gotten a full answer on my other post. I posted about failure to extract in two XD-9s, hoping they just weren't broken in. One only had about 125-150 rounds, the other about 35 when the FTEs happened. First using UMC yellow box, second Win. white box.
One response was that FTEs are common in XDs, and that you need to find an ammo it likes. Is this true, or are people just switching ammo during break in, and once broken in, whatever they are using at that time works, and they are thinking it is the different ammo that made it work rather than having shot it enough? Are XD springs heavy in anticipation of people using hotter loads, causing FTEs with mild ammo?
I don't think I could keep a gun if I had to use a particular ammo.
