How can you tell how old your gun is? I saw a few diff xd40sc's on here, and one of them looked a little different then mine?

Is there any tells that let you know if you have a new gen model, or a old one? or what

Contact SA and give the your Serial #, they will tell you. That is assuming you don't have the dated test fired casing, which will give you an approximation.

BTW, what visible differences did you see that makes you think yours is newer/older?

Call Springfield, It's a quick call usually. I called them the other day to find when my 1911's were made.

the bottom of the clip on some of the xdscs i saw were at a angle?

while mine is like more straight? i mean it clearly looks diff then mine,
but then again it might of been a custom clip?

I think the manu date is also on the back of the carrying case that the XD came in if im not mistaken I think it says mine was made in 7/07...

ahh ok! thanks, i think what the other ppl had was the pierce extender and thats what made it look diff..

Do you guys clean the barrells with with the gun came with(cleaning brush) or is it better to use sometihng like a copper cleaning brush?

Is this your first pistol? If so, when you bought yours, it was stock. There are ways of customizing your pistol with different accessories such as magazine extensions (grip)
