So i bought a xd about 2 months ago. I put about 700 rounds through it and the slide stop lever busted.

So I borught it back to Meltzers to send out for repair. Its took about two weeks to get fixed and returned so I went back to the bullet hole yesterday and put another 300 rounds throught it and it shoots like new. Well still is new after all the reports I never thought i would have run into problems with the xd line.I also saw in another post about the bullet hole not having any 9mm ammo but i bought some yesterday.

Which Model XD was it? I love mine and never had any problems with it. Over at XDTalk, I believe that there have been some instances of the slide stop breaking, but it is def not the norm.

The XD is a great pistol. All Manufacturers have an issue now and then. The thing that sets them apart is how they deal with the problems when they arise. Springfield does a great job with CS.

lol hello john. next weekend definitly wanna hit the range

I love my evil stepchild of an xd.... only problem I had with it, is that it was a rust bucket.

 

sent it in, got refinished.

 

the slide stop is a very weak point in a lot of pistols, when I can, instead of dropping the slide release lever, I pull the slide back a bit, and then gently drop the slide, controlling its release.

 

if using just the release, can put a lot of stress on it.

its a xd 9mm all black I love the gun. When i can afford it I think I am gonna buy the 40s&w version of it

hope this worked but here is a pic of my springfield and my mossberg 702 plinkster that of which i have had no problems with

Very nice, I have the 40 tactical. If you want a nice upgrade look at the Springer Precision trigger kit. Takes the slop out of the trigger. very little pre travel, crisp clean break and no overtravel if done right. Easy to do if you are handy with a file.

Hey tbtrout is the trigger kit for the 9mm also or just the 40 and thanx for the info I havent really found any real upgrades for it. I might put a lazer on and look into the trigger kit.

Hey tom just say when u want to go to the range lol i am ready for another round

There are 2 kits. One for 45 acp pistols and the other for 9mm/40S&W/45GAP since they all have the same frame size. My wife hated shooting the XD until I did the trigger job. When she shot it afterward she would not put it down. I makes a huge diference.

I'm an XD fan but I too don't care too much for the trigger. I've gotten used to it and I don't think I'd want to change it since I shoot so well with it. On the Slide release breaking, sh!t happens, and no handgun is perfect. Did they pay for the cost of fixing and shipping it or did you have to come up with the scratch?

Nope I didn't have to pay for anything. It's only a few months old.

If you are not happy with the trigger you need to try one with a trigger job. You will want one.

I cant attest to that....TBT's trigger on his is incredible. As close to perfect as you can get.

Everyone's trying to spend my money

But you can't buy something with money you don't have

Here's an idea, when you go to Vegas, skip the casino's and head straight for the local gun shops. Instead of gambling away your future Remington Model 700 in 308, hold your money till you go to a gunshop. After you buy your dream 308, go to a show, have a few drinks and pass out on your bed with your new "friend". (Not a hooker, your new rifle! Get your mind out of the gutter)

Thats pretty funny I hate gambling anyway I am going for my dads wedding. I heard they have some nice ranges out there might find one to go shoot at.
