Guns > The Smith &Glockfield Excuse-O-Matic 9000

Why do some people refuse to call a jam a jam? From a thread on The High Road:

I've got a 4-inch Service model . . . .it's had about 2852 rounds through it. (Give or take 2 rounds). It is 100% absolutely positively boring in that it never jams, fails to fire and rarely misses the target.

Sounds good, but here's his next paragraph:

I shoot tons of 200 Gr. LSWC ammo in my 1911's and when I tried to use it in the XD45 it would digest maybe 100 rounds and then start jamming on every 5th-8th round. I tried about everything I could think of reloading wise and was never able to get it to run more than 100 rounds without a jam of some sort. My best was 99 rounds.

Hey, lots of autos don't like semi-wadcutters. That's fine. And if the gun shoots without jams using the ammunition you use, that's fine, too. Just say so in the first place.
