I’m a first time gun owner, and I’ve been dreaded the task of cleaning my XD-M. The weapon is a true marvel in the ease of handling and its maintenance, but your video was just what I needed to talk myself off the cliff and get the job done. Feeling confident and capable. Thank you very, very much. You are an excellent mentor!

You'll do fine. Videos like this are a treasure for new Gun Owners. Very detailed and provided on a level that people like yourself and " Ole Gunslingers" like me can still learn.

Best cleaning video I've seen for the Springfield. Easy, detailed instructions. Thanks!!

@liftlabperformance 4 года назад

Great video. fully detailed. Just bought my first gun last night. Newbie gun owner and this is the one that felt great in my hands. I tried the 9mm but it felt lost in my hand. The owner handed the XDM and the gun found me.

@MarkAndrewEdwards 8 лет назад

I use a little less CLP, the narrow needle or plastic tube attachments let me be more direct in my lube. A boresnake with some CLP on it cleans the barrel just fine and a half dozen Q-Tips will work to clean carbon off the feed ramp and in the slide rails. I find the XD runs fine fairly dry, it doesn't really need a lot of lube. My $.02

Dude....I don't know what it is..but your voice hypnotizes me or something. I got the notification of this video on my phone on my way home from work..so when I pulled in the driveway and caught my WiFi I started the video.

Thanks for another quality video. In 2019 here in the Cleveland suburb of Mentor, we had a fallen officer, Michael Mazainey. A local firearms retail and range chain, Point Blank, donated the weekend's range receipts to the family. We also bought a handful of $5 raffle tickets, threw them in the various baskets, and WON the grand prize XDM9 4.5. My first Springfield, and the very first trigger pull shot out the center of the X in the middle of the bullseye. It's a very nice firearm.

@goatismyname 8 лет назад

I don't own an XD/XDM, but I do occasionally wake up in the middle of the night and have a tough time going back to sleep. Thankfully there's 1.Mrgunsngear cleaning videos. 2. MAC testing and comparison videos. 3.Hickock45 Smith and Wesson revolver videos. For some reason or another, y'all have one type of a video where you're totally confident in what you're doing and saying. And my brain is like 'Don't worry man, they got this.'. And then I think 'Okay, I guess it's alright if I go back to sleep.'.

@oneemptymag 8 лет назад

Older XD pistols need to have the trigger pulled to release the slide for disassembly for anybody wanting to know.

@mbsanocki88 5 лет назад

I have a xd mod2 9mm and i have to pull the trigger to release the slide. I think it's a newer model also.

@aimb4ushootdbl.g659 8 лет назад

good video. I found out with experience. do not get alot of cleaner or oil by the striker spring. . I was experiencing light striker hit on the primer on some ammo I was shooting . I took the striker spring apart and found out it looked more like cleaning products instead of oil. trapped between the firing pin . and spring. . great video. keep me coming.

@cavtroopermunoz 8 лет назад

You were so meticulous. My cleaning for my XD involves solvent and oil mess everywhere. Good video.

@frostbit216 8 лет назад

I literally just spray my XD9 with rem oil, run a polymer bristle brush across it to break up the carbon, run a couple wet patches through the barrel and one dry one and wipe it all down. After 3000+ rounds it's still running like the day I bought it.

@Mrgunsngear 8 лет назад

@rik4369 2 года назад

Thanks for the tee shirt and Wal Mart toothbrush info lol. I have been using old tee shirts as Gun patches & rags for decades. Glad to hear this. Stop tossing those old wore T-Shirts in the trash people and save some money. The only issue I have had with old toothbrushes is they tend to have the spines come off and get lodged in my action. Maybe it is just me but I never have this issue with a good Muliti- Purpose Brush. Just picked up my first XDM 3.8 Compact in .45 acp. Thanks for the great video , much appreciated!! I have used Baby Wipes on my Polymar lowers for years. Really cleans and if alcohol based dries out nicely. Becareful with pieces lodging in pistol, they only drawback. Semper Fi

I really like that pistol except the really high front site, I've been debating which pistol to get this one or the Berreta inox compact.

I realize that this is an older video, hopefully you still get notifications on comments. I have to ask, what holster are you using for the XDm with the light mounted? Trying to find one for mine with a TLR-2 is like searching for hen’s teeth.

@rajvosa71000 8 лет назад

I like to wipe my gun with a cloth first and than start putting solvents, that way i prevent it from being kinda "muddy" from all the dirt when I start wiping it. Also instead of lubing it with oil I like to put gun grease on friction points because it stays in place for a long time and it doesnt run down the gun.

@matthewsopinion7208 8 лет назад

can you breakdown and show how to clean and maintain some different kinds of mags

@matthewtikka5133 6 лет назад

I noticed you lube your gun liberally. The guys I shoot with give me a hard time for how much oil is on my gun. They tell me it will get nasty after a lot of shooting. I have never fired off more than a couple hundred rounds before cleaning it again. Have you ever had the problem where the oil collects to much carbon and starts causing issues? Great video, thanks.

@dougbell5950 2 года назад

Matthew, I do think he is suggesting too much lubricant. The more lube you use the more "stuff" can get attracted to the gun. Also, when he says a 'drop' he puts down quite a smudge of lube. If you like to clean your gun a lot, then this is probably ok. However, a dryer gun is quite ok as well.

@douglashill6575 2 года назад

What about the magazine catch? It's not in the manual but Springfield just informed me corrosion. In that area is misuse and a 100 dollar repair plus shipping

@Warrior2200 8 лет назад

I use Mobil 1 on everything and also like the internal extractor on the XD.

@zatoichi101 5 лет назад

I have a very stupid question. Is the lubricant (CLP) in the spray bottle the same as in the needle bottle? And, if so, why not just spray some on a Q-tip instead of using the needle bottle? Not a rhetorical question -- I am honestly interested in your thoughts. This was a very detailed and excellent video of how to clean a pistol, but I did have questions. Thanks.

@TheGzus66 5 лет назад

Thank you for the video, it was very helpful. Great job!

@randelldarky3920 3 года назад

They say the XD will start to fail after 5k rounds.I will never fire 5,000 rounds through either of My XD-45'S. I do alot of dry fire practice. I know that I'm cheap, but there is a ammo shortage.

@edv8064 4 года назад

Thanks for this! Really appreciated.

@RadDadisRad 3 года назад

I like dry graphite for lube, oil attracts dust which makes mud.

@drew55974 7 лет назад

I use grain alcohol for cleaning.For oil I use Lucas gun oil works great

@Mrgunsngear 7 лет назад

@russelltaylor3282 Год назад

I viewed your video yesterday and appreciate the level of detail and insight you provided. I have a question and a picture of a spring that I found recently and don’t know if it’s from my XDM-9mm. Is there any way for me to send you this pic and your help in determining if this came out my handgun? The weapon, from a “dry” point of view operates correctly. I’m close to removing the trigger assembly, as you’ve shown, but I need a few punches to complete, but was hoping you might tell me if this is something you’ve seen in a XDM. THANKS

And pulls out a gun that rusts, and discharges in a holster.... That Sig doesnt own up to. Lol. I spent the day at my local gun shop at the time in 2007 and shot these guns. XDM, Glock 17, HK P30L, and Sig 226. XDM consistently grouped the best for me, and was the cheapest. Seemed well made. At least 5k rounds through it. NO FAILURES. Ever. Not one hiccup. I don't notice the grip safety. I wish my Hellcat Pro had a fully cocked striker with a grip safety. That would be cool.

@LUEO103X 8 лет назад

Do you ever use Ballistol? I know everyone has their favorite cleaner/lubricant, just wondering what your thoughts are on that product.

@John5.56 4 года назад

Basically same as clp with wider uses. Especially with black powder. Ballistol is also safe for wood and leather

@slick777go 4 года назад

Its all I use, and a mixture of ballistol and water in ultrasonic for deep cleaning. Amazing

@huckleberry602 8 лет назад

Personally I'd recommend qutips over the patch/pick combination as the pick could easily go through the patch and now you've got a metal on metal situation.

@revv45acp71 7 лет назад

Thanks for the video. What you do is how I have done it for years. I watched a few "LUBE" videos because a friend said that I over lube. You assured me that I do not. Thanks. Two question regarding Breakfree CLP, which is my go to product: Given that it continues to work over time, do you agree with the practice of field stripping 72 hours after application, wiping with a clean cloth, then re-lubing? Also, do you recommend oiling rails and areas with wear immediately before a range trip?

@Mrgunsngear 7 лет назад

It's not going to hurt anything but shouldn't be necessary either

@unitedwestanddividedwefall3521 3 года назад

It’s strange that the xdm has a plastic slide rail. I’m sure the gun is still durable, S.A. Wouldn’t make a gun that couldn’t handle. But I wonder with long use or under hot summer conditions will cause that part of the slide rail to warp or mar more easily. Any thought from any xdm owners.

@dougbell5950 2 года назад

I'm guessing you are not aware of the class or series of polymer pistols and rifles in use today. They are virtually everywhere and exceptionally popular, included the Glock series. There is absolutely no concern about long use or hot summer conditions for these weapons.

@leanhard1987 8 лет назад

How do you feel about using grease on the slide rails? I see this done time to time. I use oil for my uses, but if the gun is outdoors for an extended amount of time I feel like grease might stay longer. Do you not recommend grease for any reason?

@Rokaize 8 лет назад

Ive used High Temp Wheel Bearing Grease (used on cars) for years now. Works fantastic. Stays on forever as well. Even if the weapon has been submerged in a river strapped to my hip the grease still stays on.

@svm111962 5 лет назад

How many rounds do you put through your gun before cleaning?

@pauliewalnuts1949 6 лет назад

generally good, but a much better cleaning alternative to cut uo t shirts and picks is cosmetic swabs (ask your wife or lady friends) they are available at target, maybe walmart etc. why not q tips? they are spun cotton and will shed fibers, cosmetic swabs are woven they dont shed, one end is pointed, the other flat, just perfect for all of the areas like the rails and other irregular shapes. Oh, and by the way, I am medical, avoid lead and lead byproducts like the plague, it is a heavy metal and does not mix well with human physiology, medical fact, not fake. Lastly, I really llke break free, I used to swear by Hoppe's #9 but even though I don't mind the aroma, many people do, I also used Ballistol which is all natural (not petroleum based) but it CLP is the best balance for weekly cleaning. I only now use hoppe's once or twice a year to break up copper from FMJ's.

@longcutarizona9816 8 лет назад

I'm a lifetime recreational marksman with about the last 5 years in competition shooting and also 7 years as an instructor. My 2 Glock 17's and a Glock 26, have somewhere around 7,000 rounds between all 3 guns, I've had what I'd estimate to be maybe 15 stoppages total. That's not horrible... Or at least I thought so before. I got into SA in 2011 and fell in love. My XD9 Tactical has over 14k rounds through it between training, instructing and matches and has NEVER had a stoppage of any kind. My XD45 Tactical is at around 6K with no stoppages. My 2 XD9 Subcompacts are around 2k, one of them had a single stoppage during break in but never again after and that might've been ammo. My XD45 4" Compact (main carry gun) is at over 4k rounds without a single issue. Also have some SA 1911's that have seen no problems, aside from the initial testing of hollow points finding out which ones they didn't like, but with ball ammo or Federal HST the 1911's run 100% reliable.

@bigandy2109 8 лет назад

I've owned glocks, 26,27,30 models.....and I currently have the xd mod2 9mm and 45acp subcompact ....in my opinion they are better than glock

@2Aknight762 8 лет назад

I have 2 Springfields as well as Glocks. They are built like tanks. You get a better gun for the money. Steel sights, magazines, guide rods, better trigger and ambi safety.

@MarkAndrewEdwards 8 лет назад

Without question. I have an XD9, it's my preferred carry weapon - though I do carry Glocks as well. XD's run well dirty, I've never had problems feeding even lousy ammo and it's as accurate as you can ask for. I don't keep a shooting log but I've got several thousand rounds though my XD9.
