Had the XDs since it became available and shot WWB, Magtech, Remington, Horaday, etc thru it with no problem. Currently run Speer Gold as SD ammo, never a problem with FTE, FTF. Yesterday at the range, saw RWS ( orange and black box) ammo, bought a box and loaded the magazine. Pulled the trigger and first round went fine, then click, click, click. Pulled the mag, looked at the unfired round and there was a good dimple in the primer. Tried it again, same problem. Round one went fine, the nothing. Freaking out, replaced the RWS with Hornaday CD and bang, bang, bang, etc. all the RWS rounds that didn't fire had good, deep dimples where the firing pin struck.

Took the RWS back to the counter to tell them what happened and they said "must be your gun". Anyone else have issues with the RWS ammo or should I be concerned?
