Xdm issue yesterday. Help needed.


Recommended Posts

Yesterday while shooting a classifier match I had a round not fire. The striker dropped so I assumed a light strike or a primer not seated. After picking up the cleared round there was no hit on the primer. I'm honestly not sure how that could have happened. Anyone had that happen before?

It's also possible on some guns for them to be ever so slightly out of battery and still let the striker fall. When this happens most of the energy is absorbed by the slide and the primer may never get touched.

I've seen this happen with reloads where the case flare wasn't fully removed, or were dirty.

Shoot it a bunch more and if it's reliable chalk it up to an anomaly. You may never know the exact cause. Stuff happens...
