Mine was factory WWB...
The casing was evidently damaged by machinery @ the factory, it was obviously defective, but I wasn't looking at the rounds as I loaded them

Heres something interesting...
overeasy and I both got off easy... BUT... what if this had happened in a self defense situation?
I took it for granted that the factory rounds straight out of the box were "good to go" it was not, and caused a problem that I did not know immediately how to rectify. LESSON LEARNED- particularly for your defensive rounds, carefully inspect each one as you load it into the magazine.
most of you experienced guys probably do this as a matter of habit, but it's worth saying for those that don't... I'll be looking closely from now on!

I'm no expert by any means,
However, I did have the EXACT same symptoms with my XD at the range today. I dropped the magazine and with my finger off of the trigger,"stabbed the slide into the carpeted surface of the bench at a 45 degree angle. That popped the slide loose and I was able to eject the damaged round. The gunsmith looked it over and his opinion was bad casing from the factory. I went back and put another 100 rounds through it with no further problems.
