I got mine fixed. I sit down with the gun and worked it slowly with a dummy round in the chamber until I found the culprit. On the back of the gun, where the bottom of the slide meets the back rails, it is cut on a slight angle from the factory. Well, turns out mine wasnt cut enough, the slide was actually catching on the plastic occasionally, causing the failure to lock up completely.
So I sit down with some 320 grit sand paper, and worked a little more angle onto the plastic in two spots, then used 1000 to smooth it up. Now I cant get it to repeat the problem, 100 rounds through it and no problems (was doing it once or twice per mag), even working it extremly slow by hand won't cause it to do it. I took some pics to show you where I was sanding.
DISCLAIMER: Try this at your own risk, I take no responsibility if you decide to try it yourself.
Now I am one very happy XD owner....well, I do want the slide coated in something tougher....lol
