Well all, I just got back from the range.....I have fired many weapons in my life, and I have been trained on several handguns in the Marine Corps. I love this XD-40. It is increadably comfortable to shoot, and very accurate. The only problem I experanced was this: One of my MAGS from the 1st to about the 4th round was getting stuck between the feed ramp and the slide....like the slide was closing too early, I think that this MAG has a tighter spring....could that be the problem. All I had to do was give a very very slight tug on the slide and the round would slip into the barrel...anyone able to help me on this??? Thanks

Live with it for a few trips to the range and a couple of cleanings. Re-loading the mags several times and shooting a box or two of ammo downrange may eliminate the problem. Some folks don't like the term "break-in period", but I had a few FTF and FTE problems early on that virtually went away.

Also, compare how high the cartridges sit respective to the two loaded mags. Sometimes a little adjustment in the feed lips may be needed. E.g the problem mag may be holding the cartridge a little too low.

Just my $0.02. I'm no expert.

Did this happen with more than one brand of ammo? If not, just for grins, try one other brand and see if there is any difference.

Yes it could be the ammo. My xd likes some brands better than others

I was useing the same ammo but it only happened with the one mag....I will try a different ammo...what is a good target ammo????

Thanks for all the help guys!

I use Winchester 165gr FMJ from Wal-Mart for practice and Cor-Bon 140gr DPX for carry in my XD-40. I have never had a problem with either one.

However, I did try some cheap CCI ammo and had a few problems with FTF and FTE early on. Now I have no problems at all with any ammo after 1000 rounds or so
