So I bought an xds yesterday and took it out today. It was fresh out of the box. I shot 250 rounds of ammo through it. The ammo I was using was Federal Champion, Tula, and Hornady Tap.
Out of the 250 rounds I shot I has 7 failures to fire. I had 5 with the Tula and 2 with the Federal Champion, and 0 with the Hornady tap.
Each time this happened I dropped the mag and ejected the cartridge. Each one was then reloaded and fired upon the 2nd trigger pull. Each time I inspected the primer of the 7 misfires there was a mark that looked like each of the 243 trouble free rounds. I own lots of semiautos and shot many of thousands of rounds and never have experienced a failure to fire when the trigger was pulled, so this is new to me completely.
At first I was going to chalk it up to the crappy tula ammo but then it happened with the federal's. I had no problem with the quality hornady tap ammunition, however I only shot 20 rounds of it.
Are these light primer strikes? A firing pin problem? Is this a problem that requires me sending the firearm back to SA? Or do I chalk it up to cheap ammo? I've never experienced problems with tula or Federal champion through my various other guns.
