I have had my XD9 for about 5 years and she's seen over 12,000 rounds.
Lately, I've been having ejection and feed problems that might be related. The ejection problem occurs with each of 4 magazines: the last round fails to eject. It appears that without an underlying round in the magazine, the final case slips down off the extractor and lies loose in the chamber (rather than being smartly thrown out like its earlier brethren) instead of encountering the ejector.
The feed problems may be related to having loose cases floating around in the chamber during a reload. Essentially, I am finding that some rounds have their bullets stripped off and are left lying in the chamber. This blocks further feeding and was initially thought to be a squib. These bullets also have some to the jacket at their bases ripped off, probably from shearing action during a misfeed.
Does anyone have any ideas?
