I’m not all too knowledgeable about semi autos so was wondering if this type of thing is common:
I field stripped the Springfield XDS in order to clean it (so took mag out then rack the slide to eject the round in the chamber) but instead of the round falling free like it has 100 other times in the past in my Glocks (new to Springfield) It instead somehow got stuck/jammed inside.
What I don’t understand is how the round went from inside the chamber to this:
I’ve never seen a round get stuck like this from racking the slide to clear the round in the chamber. Instead of clearing it, it got stuck like that.
It is a “weird” type of low grain HP round so maybe poor feeding or design? I went through just a couple boxes without any issues before, so I dunno. Or is this more common then I think? First time I have ever seen it, so was kind of confused how it ended up like that...
I normally had Glock’s prior, so this was my first time ever trying to clear a round out of the XDS Chamber, and first time ever trying and it jams up like in the picture above. I got it cleared out but still just wondering..
