Well second outing with Vera ( my 40 SC ) wasn't without hiccups. First was the slide lock engaging for no reason. Couldn't figure it out. Tried different grips and still happened two or three times per magazine. Then it went away till towards the end. Here's a quick video.
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
Now the second thing was my magazine mainly the 10 but also the 12 round wasn't sliding in and out well at all. Had to pull on it to get it out even loaded. Got to cleaning her tonite and stared at them from every angle I could. I figured they ballooned cus of the load assist that came with the XD. Buuuut upon further inspection I saw that the back of the mags had dimples but from the inside out in the shape of the rounds. Well What I would do was smack the magazine against my hand to hell I don't know seat the rounds to seat the rounds? Lol dude I've seen this in movies and I know how that sounds but also hickock45 on YouTube do the same. Well these magazines are softy and that's not good to do lol. Soo I took a brass punch and a small hammer and tapped them all back down and they just fall out empty like before. You live you learn I guess. But watch the video to see what I may be doing to cause the slide lock to engage.
