Yeah, I tried 50 reloads that week, and then left 16 rds in the mag for a week and still it's real stiff and have to use both thumbs. How many rounds does the XD .45 hold? It's not quite a fair comparison of a XD versus a XDM since the guns are different design and the mags don't interchange but if your XD was say a 14 rd then I'm more prone to think mine is just worse than other XDM models and shipped it to SA a few days ago. The upward pressure on the XDM from 15 or 16 rds in the mag into the bottom of the slide is a lot compared to other EAA, STI, 1911 and glocks I've toyed with. The full mag drops easy as pie if the slide is not on the gun.
