XDs problem with round chambering.

What type of trouble? There are many things that could cause a A FTF problem, the magazine, the ramp, and the type ammo you are using are some..

 

Hi,

Check out the XDs-45 thread.

A few people are discussing this problem.

R u only having this issue will full clips?

 

Welcome to the XD Forum Bgrayny1 !!

Compare the 1 magazine that works with the 2 magazines that don't...

Are the feed lips bent ? Are the springs when depressed moving up perpendicular in the mag

or do they tilt to one side ? Is there a burr of the feed ramp...? Are you using FMJ or HP ammo...?

More info is needed for us to diagnose the probable cause of your FTF ( Failure To Feed ).

 

Read this and see if it will help you.
By the way it's a magazine not a clip ( just one of my little pet peeves).

No problem, seems like you're not the only one with this situation.

 

We had a lady at my last IDPA match that was having no end of trouble with FTFs and FTEs. They finally disassembled the magazines, brushed them out and put a very light coat of oil in them.

That fixed one, but the other appeared to have too much metal near the lips. They compared it to someone else's mags that were working fine. Visible difference. Both looked like normal magazines, well finished edges, no burrs. But the ones that had problems were visibly deeper (front to back) along the lips. Like the sheet metal was not trimmed back at the front edge of the lips. Without a good one to compare it to, it would be hard to identify the issue.

 

Well then, I would dis-assemble the magazines as Balota suggests in his post.

You didn't say if the follower in the mag was tilting when depressed...that can also cause a FTF.

 

OK...let us know how that works...!

 

+1 I hate the word "clip".

XD Chamber problem

Are you walking the slide forward or are you hitting the release and letting it go? The slide is meant to be slammed forward by the release....walking it forward could be the problem.

 

Welcome Lionsrule and good point.

 

This will help...

I had poor results with the XDs feeding from a full magazine when I tried to "rack" it manually. I realized I NEVER had a problem when I emptied a magazine, loaded a full mag and released the slide forward.
I now habitually load the chamber from a full magazine by way of slide release... works EVERY time. I'm happy.
p.s. - I love the XDs. It is my EDC since the first range date.
