a couple of newbie questions...

Where does the phrase "field strip" originate from? I know it means to take apart your gun and maintain it but, why do we say "field strip"?

Also... What do the letters XD stand for?

Field strip simply means it can be disassembled in the "field", i.e. hunting, battlefield...and you can do all of this without the use of tools...you'd need a gunsmith to break the gun down further than a normal field strip...
