Wow, this thread brought out the fanboys and the haters, way to go OP.
Typical of people nowadays, you have a hissy fit and then post it up on the net before you do anything to see if the problem is the ammo or the gun. Stop whining like a five year old and figure out what the problem is. Then post up some useful information rather than a snivel fest.
My thoughts on this are first, I would be a bit suspicious of the magazines. I don't know how they were blocked, but maybe try a neutered PRC compliant mag to see if it fixes the problem.
Second try different ammo, it could very well be that you got a substandard batch. Try the ammo you have in your beloved XD and see if it works. One thing that was mentioned, was the 17L has a heavier slide than a standard 17/19/26 (or your XD for that matter) and it may need a more powerful load to function properly or maybe a different recoil spring.
Third, if it doesn't function properly with in-spec factory ammo, then you can snivel about it while it goes back to Glock to get fixed.
I am by no means a Glock fanboy, I think they are as homely as a mud fence and have marginal ergonomics. That being said, they do have reputation for reliability, so if yours will not function reliably with factory ammo (which is what Glock guarantees it to do) it has a problem and needs to go back for repairs.
After you have properly diagnosed what is causing the issue, post it up so that others can benefit from your troubleshooting rather than listen to a rant that does not accomplish anything.
