I was bored so I threw together this rather simple instructional video on how to field strip an XD.

Feedback good or bad is always welcome as are suggestions for other videos.

Nice video. My only observation (and I'm nit picking) is during the stripping of the XD-40 subcompact you used the phrase "completely disassemble the slide" to refer to removal of the recoil spring and barrell. A complete disassembly actually involves the removal of a lot more parts and requires a punch set. Like I said, I'm nit picking!

Thanks for taking the time to put the video together. It was a lot better done than many of the gun videos I see on YouTube!

Good point. Thanks. When I started, my intent was to video fully disassembly of the slide, I even recorded how to remove the locking backplate and the cocked indicator when it dawned on me that I forgot I needed to punch out the roll pin to remove the firing pin. I didn't have time for that so I just did the field strip.

I guess thats the next video..

Thanks again for the feedback.

I've been looking for a simple video like this for sometime now. I am planning on buying a Service model next month and it will be my first handgun purchase.

Thanks for taking the time and posting this for us all to use as a reference.

BTW this is post 100 for me.

Great video. I believe this will be very useful for people new to firearms.

And, I never knew the Tactical model had a 'loose' spring...Learn something new everyday, eh?

**PackerfanXD** · 01-09-2007, 06:45 PM

Well done.
