Talking Cleaning my XD
Just got back from the deer lease where I went through a 100 round box of ammo without ANY hiccups whatsoever and I have to say I love this gun even more! Now I need to clean it. What is your guys recommended cleaning schedule and what steps do you take to clean it?

I clean mine everytime I shoot it. Clenzoil works great on it.

Pull out the owner's manual. Believe it or not, it actually tells you how to clean it.

Thumbs up Easy job
Open it up remove the recoil spring Assy. then the bbl. run a bronze brush with a good brand bbl. cleaner through the bbl. then follow with some cotton patchs till they come through clean then some quality gun oil on a patch.
I shoot some Breakfree CLP around the slide then using and old tooth brush give it a going over. Follow with some cotton swabs in the groves. Then start on the frame using some BF CLP again and the brush also the swabs. When done some gun oil here and there.
Making sure the recoil spring Assy. is centered on bbl. rack it back togather. Thats it.

Exactly what I do. Also after assembly wipe the slide down with a silacone cloth f/b clean white cotton cloth.
