XD40 question

Cracker · 08-11-2012, 06:56 PM

For those who have one do you find it hard to load the mag with the bullets? I just bought one and I know it's new and the spring is stiff but I can't fill it up. I can only get 8 in a 10 rd. mag. Any tips on making it easier? Thanks

Hey go to the range and shoot about 200 rounds. That'll loosen em up.I had the same problems with both the 40 and,45

Leave the mags loaded it will loosen the spring over time

Gravity,

What do you mean by "mag-thumb"?

Defaintly leave your mags loaded. Use the mag-thumb loader and sent the mag on a table or bench. With a lil time they will loosen up!!

"mag-thumb" that would be the speed loader that should have come with the gun. I have a 45 XD and love the mag-thumb loader.
