I have an XD 9mm that has worked fine I tried 147 grain hollow points in the gun the other day and it jammed and it has never done this before. Is this to big for the gun?

[Husker1911]

Try another brand of ammo with those 147s. Try lots of ammo, keep track of any that don't function well. Don't use those. Enjoy your XD. It's a fine pistol!

Thank you it was the Winchester 147s that jammed I normally use the 127s, thanks again

[Mad Chemist]

How many times/#rds fired and what types of malfunctions?

[BIGDADDYLONGSTROKE]

I have fired the gun hundreds of times between practice and competition but normally just use 115 grain plinkin rounds and then 127 grain hollow points for the bedside. I had fired 4 rounds of the 147 grain when it jammed and I wasnt soft wristing the gun either, it was the first time this has happened with this gun. It did not completely eject the shell caseing.

[Mad Chemist]

Did you fire more 147gr rds without malfunction or did the problem continue?
From your description it sounds like a stovepie.
Did you drop the mag to see if any rds in the mag were misaligned?

Intermitent problems are difficult to diagnose. Marking your mags is a good idea, some common problems are mag related.

I did drop the mag looking for missaligned bullets and to unload the gun I did not fire it again in case there was a problem so I took it home and took it apart to see if there was something with gun and to clean it I didn't see anything wrong with gun itself, but im not a gunsmith either. The mags that I have for the gun are the Springfield drop free mags that came with the gun the followers seemed to be working properly aswell

[CajunBass]

I don't think you've got a real problem, or it's certainly too soon to tell. As I understand it, you had ONE round jam? Is that right? Give the gun a good cleaning and go back and try it again.

I shot a box of Winchester 147 gr, and a few 147 gr Federal Hydra Shocks I had left over today in my XD-9. They all worked perfectly.

I have put more than 8,000 rounds through my xd and have never had one jam. some of the ammo was junk that I should not have shot but the xd handled it just fine. My son has the same gun and he has never had a problem either.

[treebeard]

I have put several hundred rounds of Winclean through my XD-9 in the past 2 weeks (in the freezing cold too) and not one malfunction. Probably just a messed up round.

Sell it and buy a Glock.

Sell it and buy a Glock is a good idea.

[treebeard]

Any particular reason why you suggest selling the XD-9 and purchasing a Glock?

[355sigfan]

Because Glocks are more reliable, have a better finish, a better trigger pull, hold more ammo. Are all around a better gun.

355sigfan,

Sell it and buy a Glock.
Yikes! Are you a sig fan and recommend a Glock? :what:

[355sigfan]

I used to be a fan of the 357 sig round not anymore. As for sigs their about the best da auto out there. But I prefer 1911's and Glocks. Crunch tickers and long windex trigger dao's are not my thing.

I carry WWB 147 hp's in my XD SC9mm, very accurate and it eats them like a fat lady eating candy. In fact that is the only load I carry in my sc9mm. My service size 9mm has never had a malfunction with anything so far either.
