Yesterday I had two failures to feed on my stock XD-40 4" with the same magazine (bang bang, slide stays back, immediate action, bang bang, slide stays back, immediate action, bang, etc..). I was shooting the aluminum cased CCI Blaser 180gr FMJ through the standard 12 rd Mag (which is newer than the gun).
I mentioned this to the fellow at the range and he said that there was something about the combination of this gun and this ammo, but I have the feeling he was talking out of his ass. Has anybody else heard of this?
I normally store the gun loaded with 11+1, and it stays loaded like that between range trips or unloaded and magazines switched every other week. Would the magazines springs need replacing this early?
Finally, I'm considering adding Don's Guide rod and a 22# or 24# spring. Would this help? Are there reccomendations for which weight (independent of my little problem)?
