Can't anyone here spell HK correctly? It's spelled G-L-O-C-K. :D

Seriously though, I've heard that Springfield's service is excellent, and whatever XD critics or fans have to say, this is the first time I've heard of a stuck slide on one.
 
magumman44 It doesnt have to be user error man crap happens I understand that I didnt do nothing different today then I have in the past and the lever was up like it was suppose to be so dont rush to judge if you dont know
 
It's not THAT uncommon and your frame can be destroyed if your not careful. Here's a pic of one that was brought in for us to fix but it was already toast. The same thing happened to this guy and he got a little rough with it. Look at the rear slide rails. This is one of the many reasons that I don't like XD's. There is NO metal in the rear slide rails at all. The only metal is in the middle piece or the front rails.

happened to me before, it was an easy fix. i did something wrong and it wouldnt slide on. messed with it a lil and it worked again. the finish was not very good so i sold it.
 
How'd that happen?

Not to be rude but read the topic of the opening post
 
Desertscout,

All the OP said was he put the slide back on like 1000 times before and now it's stuck.

My questioin was how that happened in the picture you posted?
 
You would need special tools to get a Glock to that!

It would take a few experts and special tools to fix a glock slide that wouldn't work. Not sure what could be wrong with an XD. My bad.
 
Well I know mine didnt look like that it honestly looked fine cleaned it then when to put the slide back on and it just jamed up

That's all this guy said is that it got stuck and when he finally got it unstuck, that's what it looked like.
 
RonJon,

Thanks for the link. I read that thread and played with my XD at the same time, and now I see how it can happen if you aren't paying attention to the guide rod (easy to do!). I was able to recreate that off kilter guide rod situation and slowly pulled the slide back until it wouldn't go anymore (which was about half way back). If I had racked the slide like I normally do with the guide rod off kilter like that, it clearly would have jammed up - hard.
 
Never happened on any of the three XDs that I have owned. I did get one of my Glocks locked up like this, and I have no idea on what piece.

Did the person tell you how he got it unlocked?
 
send it back to springfield and don't worry they will take care you. they are quite good at the customer service and support.
 
Desertscout,

Yeah, I think you're right. I doubt any pistol would hold up to the "hammering" that one appears to have taken!

Will they fix a faulty design and put some metal in the frame-rails?

My Siglockimberugeremingtons have never done that!
 
Maybe you got a lemon. Springfield customer service is excellent, but that doesnt mean much when your gun has to go there! I have a 1911A1 loaded model that has been in customer service a few times, I will never buy another springfield no matter how great the customer service is. I have since stopped buying SA and gone with another brand and have never looked back. I personally went with HK, but there are a few brands out there with excellent reputations.

I have learned that if the first thing people praise about a gun is the excellent customer service department that stands behind it, it probably isnt something I want to buy. Now I buy guns known for their reliability and quality, not the department that fixes them when they break.
 
Anyone here

You ever build something that was perfect? Mass produce anything that was perfect?

Let's hear about it.
