Hi all,
I have a Springfield xd9 I have had for just over 5 years now, and vie been extremely happy with it. I had two stovepipes somewhere between round 50 and round 100, but other than that it has been totally reliable, until two days ago. It is completely stock.
I was shooting Winchester white box and had three jams, one of which I've not seen before, on three different magazines. ( so I'm ruling the magazines out). Two of the jams were stovepipes, the other was what looked like two bullet trying to go into the chamber at once. ( does that have a special name as well?) now to be fair, the gun had around 1400 rounds over 2 days put through it with no cleaning, but in the past I have neglected it much worse as I consider it my workhorse, and have been curious to see what it can take. I've been pretty impressed. I got to 3800 rounds with no cleaning over a week of shooting and no problems. (ive never gone longer than a week without cleaning).
So anyways, besides reporting on how pleased I've been with this autoloader, at this point is there anything that might be getting to the point that it needs to be replaced, like springs or something?
Thanks,
Tri
