Wisdom here. great advice. Change the springs if you're concerned, but I'd check XD Talk first to see where folks have been encountering problems and at what round counts first. Some guns seem to benefit from frequent spring changes (every 5k rounds) while others run like a scalded ape all the way into the tens of thousands. I'd think that 25k is probably a good place to start. I'd look into using Wolf Springs this time instead of OEM though, there are some benefits to going that route if I understand the XD correctly.
