Here's a rundown of some problems that have started with my new .40 XD Tactical. Please feel free to make some suggestions if you've had any similar experiences.
1) Trigger job from Rich @ Canyon Creek is double-tapping and I'm experiencing the striker following the slide when it closes. I already contacted him and the gun is going back tomorrow.
2) When using 180 gr. lead truncated cone reloads, the slide fails to close after about 50 rounds. I already use the Lee factory crimp die, and OAL of the round is 1.11" I had no problems with factory 180 gr. jacketed rounds.
3) The EFK 9mm conversion barrel shoots point of aim, but since having Rich replace the front sight with a Dawson fiber optic model, the factory .40 barrel now shoots about 4" high and 4" to the left @ 15 yards. I can adjust for windage, but I may be screwed for elevation! (The gun fired POA with the original sight)
4) The 9mm conversion was functioning flawlessly until I shot it in a match yesterday. On one stage, it failed to extract a spent round, and it tried to feed a live round into the chamber...thus, causing a jam.
I have my own theories about the problems, but I wanted to get input from others. Needless to say, I am not pleased with the way that the modifications have worked out. I'm sure that I will be able to get them fixed, but I'm just frustrated right now.
