Just some thoughts about my new XDM:
I have cycled over 400 rounds through it at this point with zero fte/ftf thus far. Mixed brands/types, mainly WWB and DoubleTap Gold Dot JHP's (far less of the latter for obvious reasons, just two mags worth, 32 rounds) with some sellier & bellot FMJ mixed in. I like the trigger now that it's smoothing out some, but at first it was more mushy but with less travel than my XD40 service (no malfs from this handgun either with over 2k rounds through it). The springs in the mags are getting worn in a bit at this point and not near as hard to load to capacity as they were at first. I encountered the same issue with the mag release being hard to depress, especially with a loaded mag, but that is starting to work itself out as well (never was a major problem, just annoying). It stinks that the OP has had some malfunctions with the XDM he fired but, luckily for me, I have had nothing but solid performace from mine thus far.
