slugshooter Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Went to the range today to pop off a few caps, it was a little less than enjoyable because my Springfield XD 9mm, that I have not had any problems with, ever, jammed 3 times with 100 rounds. The first time the spent shell casing failed to eject and stayed in the chamber, the second the casing ejected about halfway, and the second was the same as the first. I have never had this problem before and I am almost positive it was the ammo I was using. Instead og stopping at Wally World to buy one of those 100 rd. packs of Winchester I went with the cheap Independence ammo that the range stocked. I guess the only way I will know for sure is if I put some Winchester or Remington through it. It was a little unsettling though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugshooter Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: XD jammed 3 times today???? I called Springfield yesterday, they were gonna send me a new extractor in exchange for the old one but since I have no knowledge whatsoever of installing hand gun parts I am just gonna send them the slide and let them deal with it, heck, they might just fix the nicks on the outside of the slide if they are so inclined.

hangunnr Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: XD jammed 3 times today???? It's a bummer having a gun go down to mechanical failure, but better it happened while you were playing instead of it happening in a moment of need. Springfield will treat you right. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
