[QUOTE="Saur, post: 880910, member: 2218"] Yeah, I moved away from the XD45 because of the magazine issues which happened in both my Service and Compact models. I also moved away from the .45acp after I grew more comfortable with DocGKR's terminal ballistics information. It would get to the point to where the mags were no longer drop free, and I would have to strip the mag out for every reload. The possibility of having a malfunction or reload being further complicated by a magazine that hangs up inside the magwell wasn't attractive to me. Otherwise the pistol itself functioned fine! Now my experiences were with what I assume were older mags - the ones without the SA stamp on the front near the baseplate. I haven't put the new mags through a real test run. Some pics to show the difference between a non-dropfree mag w/ the bent back (behind the feedlips) vs. a new mag w/ the SA insignia: ( iphone quality :( ) EDIT: Also I read on xdtalk awhile back that some people did manage to have their mags replaced by SA. Others would bend them back only to have them get bent again. [attach=full]70290[/attach] [attach=full]70291[/attach] [/QUOTE]
