I posted this on xdtalk, but thought I'd also post it here since several members are very knowledgeable...
I've put at least 1200 rounds through my XD45, though I haven't kept track. Only FTF/FTEs I ever had were with reloads, I quit using those and have had no problems whatsoever.
Recently I've had an issue with racking the slide with a loaded magazine-it simply doesn't want to. I've tried with WWB, Ranger Ts, and some Tulammo.
I can't say for sure this hasn't always been a problem, because I don't recall if I tried to rack the slide with a full magazine and one in the chamber. It appears to be a problem ejecting the chambered round when there is a loaded magazine.
There are no problems loading the initial round in any way.
There are no problems ejecting the chambered round if there is no magazine seated.
There are no problems ejecting the chambered round if the magazine is empty.
After looking at the ammunition that I ran through the gun after discovering this problem, there appear to be slight nicks toward the front of the bullets.
Also, occasionally the slide will cycle fine, and other times it will work if I pull really hard on the slide. More often than not though, the slide will not rack and eject the chambered round.
Again, I have had no problems when firing the weapon, only when manually racking the slide.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
