I’ve had more problems with y’alls beloved brand of Glock than with all my other makes and models combined.
I have, the XD 45 I had would'nt feed anything but RN bullets, and if you tried something like a semi wadcutter, they would usually cause a malfunction, and damage your mags as well, I'll explain..when the fired case was extracted, the extracted case would ride along on top of the next round coming up in the mag, (due to a lack of extractor tension)and when the empty case hit the shoulder of a wad cutter type of bullet, the shoulder of the bullet acted like an ejector, and ejected the case early, causing a malfunction. The empty case being dragged back on the bullet and hitting the shoulder would shove in the case in the mag back, slamming it into the back of the mag, deforming it to the point it no longer dropped free.Now granted this was some time ago, but the problem was at the time, a lack of extractor tension, and the extractor being located where it was (botton of the slide) could'nt be adjusted. As I said before, there better options for the money.. If I was given a choice between a 10 year old USPc in .45 or a brand new XD45, I'd take the 10year old USP every time..
