I just added an XD9sc to my stable. I bought the gun used (looked like less than 100 rounds through it when I bought it), cleaned it and took it to the range where I shot over 100 rounds without incident. At home, after another cleaning and coating the slide with Blue Wonder, I was ready to put her on the night stand when I noticed that the magazine was difficult to eject (had wrong ammo in the mag).
Inspection of the magazine, internal mag release assembly (only what I could view from inside the grip) all seemed fine. The mag release seemed somewhat "sticky" so I used some CLP on it, did the same for the internal part from the grip end. I then finished cleaning and lubing each area lightly with Disotec. I inserted the magazine with 10 rounds and found that the problem continued...mag release difficult to push and drop mag. When mag is inserted with 6-8 rounds the button feels normal.
Is this something to be concerned with? This is certainly not the case with my XD40 service. Is removing and cleaning the magazine release button the answer, and if so how would I do it? I have not gone further than field stripping any of my handguns so would need good directions to accomplish the task.
Ideas or help? Thanks!
