Boyd Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) I have an XD-9 (not the XDm). I have several 10 round mags and a few full caps. 5 out six of the 10 rounders stick in the gun. I' ve done the old rubber mallet trick and some will fall free for a while, but then stick again after a few loadings. I don't leave them loaded and they seem like very sturdy built mags. The gun is about 5 years old, but has been shot very little. Any ideas or long term fixes? I'd like to get some decent serrvice out of the mags I have. Thanks -mb Edited January 6, 2012 by Boyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTizzon Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Had that same problem with my xd45.. check the front of the mag on the hole where it latches on the mag release. Few light strikes with a hammer straight down onto the hole and it drops out the well like butter now. Seemed to work for me, just don't dent the hell out of it. If it works, rinse n repeat on the other mags. Edit- I hope you meant sticking in the magwell... if not this fix wont help the rounds sticking inside the mag tube. If thats the case maybe take the mags apart and clean real well? Edited January 7, 2012 by MrTizzon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejadoo Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Springfield will exchange the mags under warranty (or at least they used to a couple of years ago). With that many mags sticking they may request you send the pistol in for them to take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats the case maybe take the mags apart and clean real well? I didn't hammer mine to fix the dropping free, I used pliers to squeeze them front to back at the top of the magazine. I couldn't visibly see a difference but they dropped free after I did it. It doesn't take a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
