Shot the XD-40 today WOLF AMMO!!!

[swagge1]

Went to Precision this afternoon with the wife to exercise my trigger finger. I have a Fire Dragon 9mm conversion barrel so I brought that along with some 9mm to shoot out of the XD-40. Out of 150 Wolf 9mm rounds I had 3 rounds that had to be hit twice bc the primers didn't go off, I had 4 failure to extracts and 1 stovepipe. I have never had any issues with my XD using quality brass, but man it really HATES that Wolf!!! Also, does anyone know a good way of cleaning the firing pin assembly? Has anyone broken the slide down further than the basic field strip? The reason I ask is because I guess I over oiled my XD at the last cleaning and there is dirty oil that comes shooting out the back of the "hammer cocked" indicator button. It sprayed oil all over my face and shirt. Im wondering how to clean that out and get some of that oil out of there. On the positive side... the Wolf 9mm does teach you how to clear jams, stovepipes, and FTF's.

Spray gun scrubber into it. It should melt the goo and it'll run right out.

After further investigation I think it is more an issue with the mags than the gun. I notice that the 9mm rides very high in the mag just like in this link. Possibly this is the reason for most of the feeding issues.

Yea I believe that you have to do a little adjusting on the mags from what i've read.

Just don't use anymore wolf handgun ammo, the only thing that i'll use that crap on is my AK... WWB at wally world is the way to go for target ammo.

I shot over 6,000 rounds of Wolf out of my Sig p226 and XD9 last year we only a few miss fires.
