Re: Ammo for XDm 9mm

Thanks, Mojo. I'll keep that in mind. Perhaps I was limp wristing it. I try to be aware and not do that but I guess I better man up more when I'm shooting.

Re: Ammo for XDm 9mm

It wasn't a limp wrist issue. Shells were ejecting about half way and getting caught in the slide. Perhaps it needed to be cleaned and oiled out of the box. I didn't do that. I've had no problems with the gun since that first day and I've put maybe 500 rounds through it. Thanks for everyone's help.

Ammo for XDm 9mm

When I bought my Springfield XDm a while ago, I wanted to go straight to the range. It is my first handgun and I didn't know how big of a difference ammo makes in a gun. I went to Academy and bought some Monarch bullets and headed to the range. My gun was having problems ejecting the spent casings and I went inside the shop to get something different. The guy in there sold me some PMC that was better but still failed to eject often. I called Springfield and they told me I needed better stuff for the match barrel and that I needed to get my hands on some Winchester in the white box. I've been using that ever since and have not had a single problem.
I'm sure I'll get plenty of "if it ain't broke" responses but would someone please educate me on any other types of ammo that are of the same quality that I might be able to fire through my gun? The reason I ask is I can't find anything other than target/range bullets from Winchester at the stores around my house. Thanks.
