here is what happened with my xd-9
While out with a buddy doing a little marksmanship brush ups i conducted a reload from a dry magazine. slid the slide the forward and pulled the trigger. no fire attempted to pull the slide back and load a new round into the chamber. Nothing happened once again. I took a couple of steps off the line and realized my slide was not going far enough back to load a new round. After taking a closer look my slide will not go far enough back to reach the slide lock. Its about a half an inch short of it. due to this i am unable to take my xd apart and examine the guts. I'm guessing its a bulged barrel but i cannot see any visible damage.are they very noticeable? ive tried racking the hell out of my xd's slide with and without a mag inserted with no luck. If it is a bulged barrel can a gun smith still manage to get the firearm apart or am i stuck with an expensive paper weight?
