Bought a used XDM-9 5.25 and took it out to the range and the slide would not lock on empty.
Tried other mags with mostly the same result. Came back home tried mags on 2 other XDM9 4.5's and one will keep the slide back on any mag and the other is hit or miss.
I've come to the conclusion that this problem is a combination of: Weak mag springs keeping the follower from coming up 100% and a tight mag catch spring holding the catch down too tight for the mag follower to reliably engage it.
Who has a tried and true fix for this?
