The issue is Failure to Feed. I'm shooting white box from Walmart (not sure if that matters). I have never taken the mags all the way apart to clean...so maybe that should be my next time.

However, I will give Springfield a call on Monday though.

PS - I am glad to hear this is not common, as I really like this pistol.

Hate to say it but those mag's could have been switched with the older ones SA was having trouble with. Gun's shows are great but I don't put anything past anyone to do for the dollar.

Again, call SA on Monday. Tell them your issue and I bet they send you new mags and your issue goes away. I had an XD-45c that fed anything. it could be the ammo but i doubt it in this case.

Just my two cents but I keep 2 magazines full at all times. I switch the rounds every week as I think most springs can create a ''memory'' and can malfunction when it comes time to use them.

In other brand pistols where I have had very similar problems, the problem has always been traced back to a magazine problem. However, assuming that it is a new pistol and new Springfield XD magazines (not some knock off), I have absolutely no explanation. Maybe someone will have a good solution that you can try before you have to send the pistol in.

Ditto. Same experience.. 5 magazines, 1400 rounds, not one failure.

I have had no problems with my XD 40 4"service. Straight out of the box and onto the range it ceases to amaze me on how well it feeds round after round. I bought three more factory mags from Top Gun Supply very reasonable ($21 ea). Needed them for a Defensive Handgun Class. Not one problem. Call SA I'm sure they will make it right.

Guess that fired SA up as they sent him a shipping label, refinished the gun in melonite and sent him 8 mag's instead of the 4 he had. They did something else too but I can't remember what it was but the bottom line is they took care of him.

LOL that's ironic; my XD45 choked right in the middle of qualifying at my permit class. How embarrassing.

I called and they wanted me to send the whole pistol and mags in. I wasn't real comfortable with that and it being gone 2-4 weeks as it's my only pistol. So we compromised somewhat and I purchased 2 new mags and they gave me a return shipping number. When I get the new ones I will send the old ones back. If it's determined to be a mag issue then they will credit me back on the 2 I purchased. If not, then I have to send the pistol in.

We shall see what happens.

Good decision. Please keep us updated on this. My guess is that it was a magazine problem.

Can I get a drum roll?............ Anyone??

Thing is tho, if your gun is jamming like that you really don't have a pistol anyway. Shame on you for not having a bakers dozen of pistol choices. shame, shame....

I'm ready to hear the outcome, I hope this solves it for you. If it doesn't, this is a new problem I haven't heard of yet with an XD.

Some of us don't have the resources that others of us have for a wide assortment of carry-able pistols and the appropriate holsters to go with them. Besides, I've got at least 3 shots to at least stun them, if that doesn't stop and i do get a jam, I am knowledgeable about it, use the first 3 shots to find cover and make sure i am in a position to manually rack the slide.

Anyway, thanks for the pat on the back for making the right decision of making sure I at least have something to carry and not going completely defenseless for the next 2-4 weeks. Besides, how many on this forum have had to actually fire their weapon? And many times the displaying of the weapon is enough.

I'll just input that I have 1280 rounds through my service XD .40 and 940 through my XD .40 SC with no magazine problems. Zero. Just my experiences.
