XDm break in

[ddenny5]

I have put 15 rounds shy of a thousand rounds through my XDm 40. I had no major issues with this great firearm. My cousin who is a member of INGO was with me and he fired 500 of those rounds. Springfield makes a great firearm. I do not see what the fuss is with the XD line.

Glock is better.

The only problem with the XD line is .....

They don't make enough of them. I have both Springfields and Glocks. My favorite is whichever I happen to be holding at the time.

Glocks go boom!

[melensdad]

I believe the correct term is KABOOM

No such thing as "break in." Discuss.

I have 2 XD's and I LOVE them both! Never have had any issues whatsoever!

OK, here goes, S&W M&P ..... discuss....

Hmmm.
Many manufacturers suggest a break in period. And many gun owners report better performance after said break in period...

So, I don't follow you...

Yep, because they want to make sure you have a statistically valid sample before you complain and send your gun in for warranty work.

If your gun has a legitimate mechanical problem, firing it more before complaining about it is just a waste of ammo.

ok here we go with the glock vs XD i have shot a few glocks and theres not one great thing about a glock. its like a screw driver it just works.... nothing to write home to the folks about !!! i own a few xds and xdms and a HK usp .45 and i can tell you from my pov. the best shooting ive ever done is with my xd !!!!! i would take a glock if it was givin to me they make great paper weights or door stops

Revolvers are better than any of the above mentioned guns.

Discuss. Semi-auto guys, you may use pictures instead of words. And quit drooling on yourselves


Now, I actually have a question related to the OP, and perhaps the actual point of this thread. You state that you've had no "major" problems. Have you had any minor ones, and if so what were they?

My break-in procedure for my XD's.

1. Load magazine
2. Point down range
3. Pull trigger till slide locks
4. Repeat steps 1-4 until you run out of ammo

 

[lawrra]

I like my XDm, but I like shooting any kind of gun: Glocks, M&Ps, Taurus, Kahr or whatever. As long as it goes bang when I want it to I'm happy

 

[loony1]

meh, i own both(glock and xd) and would definately feel fine in a bad situation with either.

His cousin keeps locking the slide back with his thumb part way through a magazine. No problems other than that.

Just don't call us bottom-feeders.

I have run well over a 1000 rounds(all handloads) thru my XD45 with zero malfunctions. The wife is not too far behind me with her XDm 40, not a single problem either(also handloaded ammo).

 

[Armed-N-Ready]

Which manufacturer recommends a "Break-in"?

I would think the ammunition manufacturer would benefit more from a break-in than the gun manufacturer. I don't "break-in" my guns I just shoot them until I run out of ammo or stop smiling. I always run out of ammo first.

 

[woundedyak]

I don't buy into the break in period either. But I can say, My trigger got a lot smoother/looser after about 500rds on my XDM. Still needed a trigger job thou.
