My buddy just bought a XD45 service model,used. it wont fire the first round. pull the trigger and "click". then cycle the gun by hand and it works fine. if the first round is inserted back into the mag it fires, so its not the ammo. any body else have this problem? any ideas as to cause and/or fix? or should he send it back to SA?
thanks |

What ammo are you using?
GECO (Dynamit Nobel) has caused issues in striker fired pistols. If your dealing with reloads then the primers are probably not fully seated. The first hit from the striker will seat the primer in far enough that the second hit will detonate them... You may want to install an extra power striker spring... |

you didn't mention it so i'm going to ask it: did he insert the mag then rack the slide then pull the trigger? yes how many times has he had this happen? it happens every time he takes it out, for about the past year, so at least a dozen times no worries, SA will take care of this. Quoted:
