Is you xd picky about the ammo you put through it? mine hates remmy. I have the 4" one. It really doesn't like Blazer either.

Whatever I find cheapest. It's went through Blazer, WWB, and Rem. with nary a hiccup.

The first thing i shot was Blazer, and it was a little finicky, but it was straight outta the box new. The main problem is when i tried to go rapid fire and the packing grease was making the slide a little slow. So, i shot 100 rounds cleaned and lubed went out and shot another 100 rounds of blazer and no problems. Have since shot more blazer, WWB, UMC, some crappy cheap dirty stuff that was in a red and green box, and not another hiccup. Have probably put about 500 rounds through since i got the 4" model the week before the election and no issues other than the first 100. SC never had an issue with anything from what i remember.

For carry, I use hornady tap. But for range, like everyones said already, the cheapest I can find. Usually its either WWB or blazer from wally world, but occasionally I'll pick up some remington umc thats on sale at Dicks.

 

[Caribou]

Mostly, I shot WWB, but lately it's been FMJ reloads. Never ever had an issue with anything.

 

[MikeN]

At the range... WWB.

 

[TexasXD40]

Blazer Brass from Wallyworld...Federal JHP for carry...

+1...My XD likes WWB and Federal the best. I haven't shoot Blazer Brass cause it's just a dollar cheaper than WWB at the local Walmart. Also, I haven't had a chance to shoot Hornady ammo.

I too run anything through my 40service, it eats everything. So far so good!

 

[Chris 141]

I dont have the XD40service but i do have it in the sub-compact. I also have an XD9service. Usually i use WWB. Never had a problem.

 

[doctor_ew]

In my XD40 w/4" barrel: Fiocchi, WWB, Federal Hydrashocks, Speer Gold Dots, Winchester Ranger T, all with zero failures.

In my new XDM40 - nothing yet. A crime I will soon remedy.

 

[csaws]

Well I guess there is only one cure and that is for me to clean it, lube it and put more down range.Don't get me wrong I wouldn't carry anything but my xd as I love it, it just doesn't seem to like remmy ammo. I wish I had taken a pic of the traget when I shot remmy last, it was horrible at best. Thanks for the help guys, I have a box of Winchester, 165 Gr ball rounds to try.

 

[NC Dave]

I pick up 9mm and 45 ACP Remmington UMC by the case from Dick's a couple of times a month. It always runs fine in my XDs.

 

[TexasXD40]

I was thinking...I've put BB, WWB, Wolf, Independence, Federal, Magtech and think that's it down my .40. No FTF or FTE (knock on wood).

 

[csaws]

The problems I am having is not FTF's it is accuracy problems. In the past the hydrashocks and other ball rounds I have used are way more accurate than the remmy's in my xd. I guess I should've quantified this by saying the last time I shot it, about a week ago is was like 25 yards and had 12 rounds in like about 3' x 2 1/2'-3' yeah that is feet not inches.

 

[sourpatch45]

mine will shoot anything. i normally use reloads

for carry i use the buffalo bore ammo, its a 180 grain gold dot at 1100 fps

I too noticed that my hydrashocks were much more accurate. However, I've only fired about 75 of them because of the cost. BB and Independence is what I shoot most often and they are fairly accurate. They're definitely more accurate than I am...

 

[plant.one]

my 4" 40 is fussy as hell about ammo. The only 'cheap' ammo it'll fire reliably (with out tons of FTE/FTF) is WWB. Blazer & finocci are the worst, umc coming in a close 3rd. Hydrashocks dont feed eithor. I know its not the mags for me - i've had the same issues with all 5 of my mags. dont feel bad.. you're not the only one.

 

[StlXD40]

carry ammo is 180gr Speer Gold Dot.

at the range its either WWB, or remington UMC. Fiocchi is the only ammo that has ever given me problems. 5 FTFs in a row! i took the whole box back to the range counter and got a refund.
