XD mag issue

[Tactical Dave]

One of my .45 XD 13 round mag has a weird issue.

With all 13 round's in you can hear something sliding back and forth at the bottom of the mag, with 12 round or fewer it does not. The other mag does not do this. Normal tension on the spring.

Both brand new never fired.

So more paper weights? Wow another useless, and unhelpful post. By another Glock owner. Anyways back to the OP, defently take the mag apart. Is the base plate loose?

 

[fw501]

I own 2 XD's and have had no issues.

 

[colt45er]

While I do not have an XD I have an XDM in .40

I have noticed that two of my 5 mags will sometimes rattle when loaded to full capacity. I have found that if I unload a round or two and then load them back up it goes away. Also, be sure the rounds are fully seated to the back of the mag.

I have an XD .40 subcompact and have had issues with the extended mag feeding correctly a couple times since then I don't use the extended mag.

I wouldnt worry about it. My M&P does the same thing with no issues. My XD and Glock doesnt however

Like I said, it has been a complaint with the XD mags from the beginning.

High cap mags do that. My Glock mags did it and even my XD mags.

I have a 40 cal xdm with no problems with the 5 mags I have. Just need to get a comfortable CC holster.

Exactly which of those threads is related to the OP's issue? The first one is about the mag rattling in the well, the second is about a magazine warping, the third is about a rattle on the seventh round of an XDm40 magazine. The only thing that was on topic was a review of the XDm9 magazine from Midway. It is easy to imply that a list goes on and on when it is totally irrelevant to what is being discussed. U.S. Patriot nailed to; more smoke blowin' by a glock guy.

To the OP, I just checked my XD45 magazines and one of them does the same thing. It has a little rattle when fully loaded. Trust me, it doesn't affect function. Unless it just really bugs you there is no need to worry about it. I am somewhat curious as to what causes some magazines to do it and not others. If I get time I'll take mine apart to see if there is any difference.

mvician, see how easy it is to stay on topic?

just hold the mag by the sides and give it a good smack on the back side with your off hand. What your hearing is a round moving inside the mag, a good wrap settles things and quiets it down, it works for my XD45c mags.

 

[Walt_Jabsco]

This is something that, to my knowledge, is pretty much standard on high capacity Sig mags. It just has to do with the way the tension on the spring lets the rounds sit. Sometimes one is a little loose, and I haven't ever heard of it affecting feeding. It just makes your gun rattle a little if you shake it. And if you're shaking your gun like a maraca, you probably shouldn't own it anyway.

Smoke blowin' from a GLOCK guy

I OWNED 3 XDs, 2 XD45 Compacts, and a XD9SC.
All 6 of my "full size" XD45 mags rattled when filled to capacity, the 10 round compact mags didn't.

I have stayed ON TOPIC....
did you read any of those links ?

from the first link

I have owned two XD45s, and both of them had magazines that rattled when filled to capacity. I noticed that it's the 8th round in the magazine, but if you load it to 12 rounds it doesn't rattle.

Haha, funny because the 7th round on mine only starts to rattle once you load the 12th round.
Or, at least it used to... I pulled apart the mag, and it seemed to have stopped upon reassembly.

from the second

I have not had that problem but what bugs me about my mags is that if you load either mag to full capacity (ten or thirteen) then the rounds rattle inside of the mag.

from the third link

I have a XDM 40 with the 16 round magazines. I just noticed this the other day at the range and it struck me as a little odd. If I load more than 7 rounds the 7th round is loose in its spot in the mag but only with even numbers. So if I have 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16 loaded the 7th rattles. It happens with both mags. Doesn't seem like a big deal, all the rounds still chamber with no issues. Anyone else ever experience this?

I also checked my mags after reading this. One of my mags rattles a little bit on the 12th round, the other doesn't at all. I've never had any issues with them.

have a XD subcompact abd 3 out of 4 of the 10 round mags have bullet movement at the 6th or 7th round.

from the forth link

These are excellent magazines. I bought 19 of them from MidwayUSA. Every one of them has functioned flawlessly. There are some issues with the magazine design. When fully loaded, they will rattle.

I don't care if it is the XDM, the XD9, the XD45 or the XDsuperduper...each caliber has mags that will rattle.

As I stated in my first post, it has been a complaint from the start by many XD owners.

 

[baldmax]

I have had all makes of hi-cap mags rattle on me. Ruger, Sig, Glock, and on and on.

It is just one of those things. As long as the mag runs, don't worry about it.

Sure is annoying though when you're CCing....sounds like you have a box of TicTacs in your pocket.
