As a point of clarification this post refers to the New Single Stack .45acp XDs.
I know there are a few XDs threads already going but I would like to share a quick reliability update. When I first purchased the gun I broke it down and cleaned and lubed it thoroughly. I now have 300 rounds down range with it over 3 shooting sessions and have experienced zero malfunctions of any kind. I have not cleaned or lubed it at all since the initial field strip. I am actually quite pleased with the gun and am considering picking up another one (the two tone).
I have heard some concerns about the XDs not being reliable. More specifically I have heard that some of the guns have been prone to light primer strikes. Has anyone here experienced this or other malfunctions with the XDs? If so did you break the gun down and clean it before initially shooting it?
