Striker Question
This is my first striker fired pistol and wanted to know if there is a way to safely decock a loaded xd? Also, can the gun be damaged with dry firing? Thanks for the help!

NO you can not decock it and NO it should not hurt the pistol to dryfire it.

eject the magazine, and rack the slide. The striker will not fire until all safeties have been disengaged. Point in a safe direction just in case.

Do this...
take the clip out, and then pull back the slide.

At least give the guy some credit for asking.. If a person doesn't know, and is brave enough to ask.. I think that is a good thing. There are too many who would just experiment.. and I think you will agree that that could be a recipe for disaster.
