I did a lot of internet research on handguns and decided on the XD Service 9 for my first pistol. I now realize my bad luck has caught up with me because from what appears to be a bad pistol.
Well I originally had issues with ammo loading all the way into the chamber. I tried "polishing" the feed ramp as someone instructed. Now I have had a couple FTE malfunctions. I was thinking about sending it back to Springfield so they could look at it.
Now my problem is rust. I shot it exactly 9 days ago, I took it home cleaned it and yes oiled and put it back in the case like I always do. I took it out today and the slide and sights have rust on them. Some of it is very light and I can rub it off with my finger, some is deeper.
My question is if I call Springfield will they fix these problems? Also what can I do to get the rust off? I was wanting to buy a 1911 from them next but now I dunno I've had nothing but problems for this pistol.
Thanks,
Rzeig
