However, I did fire my recently tricked-out XDm for the first time. Holy crap - it's like a completely different pistol now. Trigger is great, accuracy/grouping much better, I couldn't be happier with it.
The thing that new reloaders tend to screw up most often is the crimp. A bad crimp can affect extraction, as can an underpowered charge.

I would fire a box of factory ammo through it before I took it to the gunsmith, especially since the Hi Power wasn't fond of it either.
