XD9 FTE, potential WWB link

Howdy y'all.

Got my XD about a month ago and have taken it shooting weekly. For my first outing, I put 500 rounds of Rem UMC through it without issue. Cleaned, lubed, and went back a week later with 250 rounds of WWB and got a handful of FTEs. Suspected my cleaning job (this is my first gun), so I gussied it up with much vigor, and took it back a week later with 300 rounds of WWB --- got a slightly larger handful of FTEs. My shooting partner suggested it might be a bad mag, so we marked 'em, gave the XD the ol' once over, and went back to the range a week later (today) with 200 rounds of WWB --- got even more FTEs, spread across two mags, with one mag having 3 FTEs during the course of fire.

Yeah, damn.

Anyway, we're going back tomorrow with both some UMC and WWB in hand for testing. Details as they develop...

Hmmmmmm,


all of my XD's Eat and Poop WWB all day long with no problems.


My Glock hates it, my friends MP5 hates it.....Could be barrel fit, lockup, extractor, tight chamber, too loose a chamber. Send to SA and have them make it right....if not sell it if it hasn't been sold to RT.. Otherwise i'll take it off your hands.
