[QUOTE="JD8, post: 2305761, member: 24"] From XDtalk... The technical cause for the xds to malfunction is dry firing the weapon and then somehow locking the slide back without engaging the grip safety. This will not allow the trigger to reset when the slide is released resulting in a free floating striker. With the striker free to move in the channel the inertia of the forward moving slide will send the striker forward and detonate the primer of the live round just chambered. This will also start a chain reaction if the mag is loaded until the grip safety is pressed. Even guys that tried to reproduce it, couldn't get it to malfunction. I had over 1200 rounds through my XDs 45 before I sold it. I've got 400rs through my 9. No problems with either. Here's a vid of some guy trying to make it happen.
