Just picked up my first XD today. Been practicing load/unload procedures, dryfiring, etc.
During all of this, I've been locking the slide back, then hitting the slide release to "chamber" a round and cock it (all while dry). Is this detrimental to the gun? Saw where some members were talking about that being detrimental in regards to 1911s on the last 3 posts of this thread: http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general-hs2k-sa-xd-talk/80725-dry-firing-bad-gun-myth-5.html
