Fourth jam.  Bought Dec 08.  I was too stupid to mark the magazine to track the issue.  I clean after every trip.  Send to springfield?

sir, Jam is what your mama puts on your toast.  What you are experiencing is a failure to feed.  It's why Gaston makes his 40 calibre chambers so generous, with biiiiiiig entrances.

sir, please notice in the 2nd picture that i have labeled the "jams" FTF, so raise up off of these nuts please.  May the gun gods forgive me.

Anyways, anything intelligent to offer?

I experienced the same issue as well my first time out (XDM40). Had 4 mags, 4 shooters, about 120 or so rounds, probably 10 FTFs exactly like this. Discouraged me quite a bit... Second time out I labeled the mags and experienced the issue with my #3 mag only, took that one out of rotation and no problems since.

In other words, probably a mag issue. You already know the answer: label mags and shoot it again.

I posted on here a while back about my XDm in .40S&W doing just that ONLY ON THE LAST ROUND... after shooting it some... problem seems to have gone away.

I loaded three rounds in each mag trying to duplicate the issue with very limited success.  Last time out, could not get it to mis-feed.  I'll continue to monitor the situation...

autoloader failures are usually mag related. multiple bad mags confuse the issue.  XDs are good eaters as a rule.  mine fed GDSBs that no 1911 would take.  40 comes in a lot of temperatures, make sure you'e not running too light.

Apolgoies for the "jam" remark.  thought I edited it before posting.

shot approx. 400 recently, PMC Bronze 40D, flawless.  So it's probably the way it was being handled and/or ammo.  After reading a few things I hold it much more firmly.
