    Mine wont cock. Pull slide back and release but no luck. If I ease it forward by hand its fine. Stripped and cleaned it but no help

    Can't say I've ever experienced anything like this with my XD45. I can tell you that my slide only requires about 3/4 of an inch of travel to "cock" the trigger mech. It obviously requires much more than that to chamber a round. My son's XD9 only requires about 1/2 inch of travel to accomplish the same thing. Without seeing it in person, I would have to guess that the problem is more likely in the frame than in the slide.

    It only does it if released at full back position or if slide lock is released. If i manually ease it forward its fine, but if fired I am betting it will fail or refire another round.

    and that hair was all natural, no perms or curlers. I hated it. Women loved it. Now that I no longer have it there ain't no lovin' here.
