XD9

Back at Christmas, I surprised myself with a Springfield Arms XD 40. After not shooting for 20 years, I thought it was a nice way to get back into things. After shooting 400 rounds through it (40S&W 180gr FMJ) I started having feed problems. I tried 5 different magazines and several different brands of ammo to no avail; I would get missfeeds/no feeds randomly. I had reported it to the dealer as soon as it started happening and left it with their gunsmith for evaluation. They couldn't find the problem. (There is disscussion on the net about this problem). Anyway, they ended up taking it back after I raised hell.

So instead of paying the restocking fee I purchased a used XD9 for $300. I've been shooting it for a couple months now and wonder why I didn't get the XD9 in the first place.

So far I've run over 750 rounds through it with no malfunctions. All it needs now is new sites.

Edited for stupidity
