XDM 5.25 Locked in battery

[BigEsboy]

i have a Springfield XDM 5.25 40S&W is locked in battery. Springfield's answer is that they do not warranty gun shooting reloads.  

I can get the slide to move back about 1/4". Spent brass case is in the chamber, but it is not the issue. I jumped the case past the extractor and it moves in the chamber. But the slide remains locked up. Any ideas how to remove the jam or the name of a gunsmith that might know what to do. I've pushed, pulled, smacked it with a mallet, stood on my head, came close to cussing as I throw it across the room. 

 I'm stumped.

If you are sure the case is spent, make sure its out of battery,  then lightly tap the case out with a steel cleaning rod section.

The case is spent. i have check with a wooden dowel many times. I've also removed the firing pin. 

The case is the least of my problems. It would fall out if i could get the slide out of battery. 

I'll post a picture in when i get home.

I just googled "case stuck in Springfield XDM" and there is a lot of info out there. Seems like it might be a common problem.

Depending on your actual issue try these:

If slide won't close:

I sent my pistol to Springfield last Wednesday. They called me late yesterday. The problem was a bulged barrel. Ouch, I would not swear that i didn't have a squib load. I was shooting at a range and watching where the rounds hit the target pretty close.

But anyway the fit up of the slide to the barrel is tight enough that my gun would not cycle. the slide would move about 1/4" and stick, that is it would not go back into battery w/o a good push on the back of the slide. 

I was a little hasty in my first judgement of Springfield. Communication problems we on my end. My email server was acting up.

A big thanks and good job to Springfield, $142 for a XDM match barrel a few firing pin parts i did not send with the gun and Springfield covered FedEx shipping cost, both ways.

I'm one happy camper!
