Well, just got a 357 XD yesterday, took it out in the desert today and was very disappointed. Fired 100 rounds and had multiple failures to feed. The slide continuously failed to go far enough forward to completely seat the next round. Granted, I was firing that cheap, remanufactured Ultramax ammunition, and I'm hoping that's the problem. I did notice however, that the problem was worse when firing individual shots. Rapid fire seemed to cycle fine. I made sure that I wasn't limp-wristing and tried a variety of holds, but all to no avail. As a matter of fact, it got worse toward the end of the session. Will this break in over time? I've read some threads elsewhere with others having this problem and not getting a very friendly ear or prompt service at Springfield. I hope not, because I bought a lot of extras to go with this thing. Any help or stories of similar problems would be appreciated. Thanx-----
