Since yesterday was such a nice day and I had not been to the range for a bit I decided to visit the local range with some friends. We did not have much time so I took my .380 and 9mm handguns to shoot. I set both the .380 and 9mm ammo boxes on the bench and began shooting between the two guns. Some time goes by and we are wrapping up the shoot. I decide to load another mag before we leave and shoot the 9mm some more. To my surprise I get three failures to eject in a row. I was a bit puzzled as this could not happen to my XDM 9. I look at the extractor and it appears to be fine. Then my buddy starts laughing and has to mention that his Glock does not fail. He takes a quick look at the gun and spent shell casing and he realizes that I am shooting .380 ammo in the 9mm. Doh! I can't believe I missed that.
So in summary, .380 ammo does shoot in a 9mm XDM but it does not eject very well. Oops.
Surely I am not the only one that has done this? Anyone else do something similar?
