I have a XD Tactical 40S&W and every so often it dosen't go into battery. Most often during a match like this passed Saturday at the MN Sectional (3 times). I read on the Don's guide rod thread about this same kind of problem, and was wondering if going with a heaver spring was the only way to solve this? Some history on the gun. Picked this up to shoot Production class, so that my 4" could go back to a carry gun. When I got it I shot about 100 rounds through it and sent it to Rich, and he did a great job on it. The only other thing I did was one of Don's guide rods with a 16# spring, and it shoots great, and thats why I don't realy want to change to a heavier spring. It shot fine then I started to have what I thought were miss fires, most likely high primmers,but clearing jams in a match you can't always find the round you cleared. After this happening a few more times I found out it wasn't the ammo. This will happen when the gun is dirty or clean, and an RO pointed out that it seamed to happen following reloads ( He was the RO on a couple of stages when it happened ). I even put the factocy spring and rod back in, and it did it again, and that was the last straw.
If the only fix is a heavier spring I'll just do it and learn how to shoot all over this winter. So any ideas? :?
