How to Disassemble, Clean and Lubricate a Springfield XD or XDm 9mm or XD 45 Pistol
Steps to Field Strip the Springfield XD or XDm 9mm pistol:
1. Unload the gun
This is the most important step. Eject the magazine using the magazine release button, and then remove the round from the chamber. Remove any and all ammo from the area.
2. Repeat Step 1. Verify the gun is completely unloaded. This step is in case you skipped step number one.
3. Lock the slide to the rear using slide stop lever.
4. Rotate the take-down lever clockwise from the 9 o'clock position to the 12 o'clock position.
5. Release the Slide Stop and move the slide forward and off of the front of the gun.
6. Turn the slide upside down and Depress the Guide Rod Toward the Front of the Slide to release from the barrel.
7. Lift the guide rod and recoil spring out of the slide.
8. Remove the barrel from the slide.
Cleaning the Springfield XDm 9mm:
1. Clean barrel and guide rod. You can clean the inside of the barrel in one of two ways:
A. Run a Boresnake through the barrel several times.
B. Using a pistol rod and cloth patches. Wet the patches with Hoppes and using the rod, push wet patches through the barrel until they come out clean.
2. Clean the feed ramp of the barrel with Hoppes No. 9 solvent.
3. Use Hoppes Number 9 & a rag or spray with Birchwood Gun Scrubber to clean the recoil spring and guide rod assembly. Wipe any remaining solvent off.
4. Clean the gun frame. Use Hoppes #9 and a brush or cotton swabs to clean all surfaces of the frame, especially the rails where the slide contacts the frame. Wipe clean with a soft rag.
The best way to clean a polymer frame is to spray it down with Birchwood Casey Synthetic-Safe Gun Scrubber. Use a micro fiber cloth or rag to wipe any excess solvent off of the frame.
5. Clean the Slide. Use Hoppes No. 9 and a cotton swab or cloth to clean all surfaces on the inside of the slide.
Be sure to get the breech face and extractor.
Lubrication:
Apply a drop to the following areas:
XDm Frame Lubrication:
Rails
Hammer pivot
Slide stop
All moving parts in trigger control area
XDm Slide Lubrication:
Rails
Hammer cocking surface
Firing pin aperture
Reassemble the XDm 9mm:
1. Set the slide upside down, put the barrel into the slide. Place the recoil spring assembly on top and press on the end so it fits in the groove on the barrel.
2. Then line up the slide with the frame and slide it on. Move it to the rear and lock the slide back with the slide lock lever.
3. Rotate the take down lever counter clockwise to the 9 o'clock position.
4. Release the slide stop and allow the slide to move all the way forward.
5. Work the slide back and forth several times to to allow the lube to spread into all areas.
6. Wipe away any excess oil on the gun.

This video is 2 yrs old... just picked one up... and this video really helped! Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the comment! It’s a really nice gun and fun to shoot, as I am sure you know by now!
Dave
I find it funny when you say let it drip for a minute or two and proceed to wipe it down right away 😂 besides that it’s great content
lol, I did do that…ooops! Oh well, do as I say, not as I do! Thanks for the laugh! I very much appreciate you watching and commenting!!
First time cleaning my XDM. Also changed out the barrel. Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the comment, Keith!
Thank you. I've cleaned mine a couple of times already but it's nice to see if I'm missing anything. I need to get a bore snake.
Bore snakes are great. I have about six of them in different calibers! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for this video! Bought this gun for my concealed carry test years ago and haven't shot it since. Finally decided to take it out and clean it.
Jacob, thanks for watching the video and sharing a comment! I really appreciate it! I love my XDm! Enjoy it!
Dave
Thank you /. I like the idea of a few drops 💧 in the last stage to lubricate as slide moves spreading a thin layer of oil evenly contact points. Good tips 💥💥💪🏽
Thanks for the comment!
Thank you nicely done my friend, I just picked up a full size XDM yesterday and this was helpful. Happy New Year.
Happy new year! Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it very much!
Thanks. Appreciate the easy to follow and quick to the point video. Very helpful.
Thank you for the kind comment, and thanks for watching the video!
Dave
Great video thanks for uploading 👍. Got my XDm about 7-8 years ago so it's time to give it a good bath.
Thanks for the comment! Glad to hear your XDm is getting a bath!
Dave
Thanks man. Just bought one and you broke it down for me.
Enjoy it! It is a very nice pistol!
5 years later and still helpful:D Thank you very much:)

Awesome video..Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Awesome thank you for the video !
You bet!
Just picked this model up this weekend. Thank you for this instructional video, sir!
Glad I could help!
I bought one last year after the Ruger I ordered was on backorder. I picked this over a Glock because I don't need a name. I just need a reliable weapon. I also enjoy the extra safety. How have you fared with yours?
Beautiful Gun
Thanks, Edwardo! I appreciate the comment!
Dave
Wonderful video, excellent performance vary helpful ❤
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for easy and detailed instructions video! Question: can I use instead of oil what you have a Remoil spray?
Julie, Thanks for the question! Yes! RemOil is a good product. It is a bit “lighter” than some lubes but will work just fine. Just wipe off any overspray because you don’t need very much to properly lubricate the XDm.
Dave
@@davesgunchannel Great! Thank you so much!!!
Hi I need a bit of advice, I was applying oil on the slide of my XD mod2 after cleaning the gun to store it since I wasnt going to use it for a while and I added a drop of oil (just 1 drop) inside the whole in front of the rear sights which I think is the firing pin retaining pin, is that something to worry about or am I just overthinking about it?
Agha, thanks for the question! I would not worry about that at all. The worst thing that will happen is that over time any excess oil will attract dirt so just make sure you clean it well after you shoot it. Maybe clean it with Birchwood Casey gun scrubber which tends to get into the nooks and crannies a little better to remove dirt and build up. Just be careful not to get the gun scrubber on your gun sights as it has been known to damage some sights.
Dave
Do all the xdms have non dual recoil springs?
I don't know. I will do some research and see what I can find.
how long have you had this gun for, I just bought one and shot about 7 boxes of 9mil so far and not sure if I need to clean it yet.
Jeff, I have had my Springfield XDm for many years, at least 8 years. In my opinion, yours is ready to be cleaned! It will likely run fine but at least oil it.
Dave
Never put guns away dirty
Use Latex gloves people when cleaning your weapons! Make sure it's done in a well ventilated area!! These thing's will kill ya!
Excellent point! Some gun cleaning solvents are best kept away from your skin. Original gun oil is an expensive alternative that I recently started using. It is non-toxic, non-scented and non-staining and supports Veterans. If interested, go to www.originalgunoil.com and use SAVEWITHDAVE for 10% off.

@@davesgunchannel Will look into it later...thanks.
use ballistol you'll live longer.
@@davesgunchannelgood looks on this, thank you!
Does it matter which way you insert the bore snake?
Probably not, but it’s generally best to insert it from the breech end and pull it through the same way abullet wouldd travel. Thanks for the question and thank you for watching the video!
I use Ed Red to clean it
Jack, thanks for the comment! I have not used that myself, but it seems to be a good quality gun cleaning solvent from what I have read.
Dave
Will this work on the .45 model aswell?
Thanks for the question! Yes, just be sure if you use a Boresnake, make sure it is for a .45 caliber.
Dave
1:19 Is that rust on the slide?.. the circle that goes long under it. Looks brownish..Or is that supposed to look that color?
If you look at 4:05 you can see another angle. It is the internal extractor and it is a reddish color, maybe some kind of heat treated metal. It is not rust. Thanks for the comment!
Is this dishwasher safe?
Only if you are going to eat off of it.
Xtremeber extra lube doesn't mean Xtra luv
Xtra Thanks for the comment!
Dave
The video and the sound are not in sync. At beginning voice is taking the gun apart, video shows gun apart and cleaning barrel
Mark, thanks for the comment! It seems to be working ok now! Must have been an anomaly in the space-time continuum!

My recoil spring can't be taken off.
Can't be taken off of the guide rod? These are some recoil spring/guide rod assemblies that are not designed to come apart.
Dave
@@davesgunchannel it can come off but it's a 2 rod holding the spring, unlike what I saw in the great vid! Thanks
Sorry,all that messy cleaning was painful to watch...
@Metal Injected
Any kind of solvent including spray can solvents are completely unnecessary,unless you are cleaning a black powder gun or using hard cast bullets.all that solvent and using so much as you did is Not good for your gun.
The dry Q-tips to remove excess carbon is good,then using oil in the Q-tips to remove the rest and then again small rags and dry Q-tips to remove excess oil until clean.That gun needs very little oil on its surfaces inside and out,on the slide where metal slides on metal...a dab of Lucas red-n-tacky grease is a lot better than oil because it prevents friction and ware in the long run that will make your gun run and last for a very long time.
Finally,the light oil on the outer surfaces should be wiped down with a microfiber cloth that will make it look great...instead of using paper towels...that was ugly to watch...Sorry.
Things that I only use on all my 1911 models and my Sig P320's
1. Mobil 1 ATF...lightly to remove all carbon,used oil and grease from the guns and then wipe off,Q-tips and patches/rags...Not paper towels.
2. Mobil 1 motor-oil, used to clean and lubricate the guns inside and out.
3. Lucas Red-N-Tacky - a little to lube and protect the Slide and Rails.
Finally,I polish the ramp as well and apply light amount of oil on the outside and wipe down with the microfiber cloth.
I have Done only this for decades,my older guns still look and operate as good as new. When I do go outside to shoot a lot of rounds or go to the range,I add plenty of oil to the barrel to help keep it from excessive heat. I have seen many diff things that people do to their guns that make me cringe,but hey it's a free country.Live and let live.
Good Luck,be safe and have fun 👍😎🇺🇸 God Bless America.
@@ellissmithjr6599 Thanks so much for your input! If you ask 10 different gun guys how they clean their guns, you will likely get 10 different answers for sure! I just wanted to demonstrate the method I have used for many years on my Springfield XDm. I agree that micro fiber is cleaner and easier on the finish!
I appreciate the comment!
Yeah Dave's apologies he cleaned it the man way... if you would prefer a drier method to keep your nails cleaner so be it... I've cleaned my firearms very similar to his way and they still look like new... but I know some girls worry about their mani pedi... so do what works for you sweet cheeks

What are you like 9yrs old?
I gave my opinion on what he was doing and how I always do it and you dont have to agree as I didnt with him.
Even though you gave your opinion in a classless childish inmature way,that is also an opinion.
Last time I looked its still America here so far, and we all have the freedom to have an opinion my little friend.
I do understand that's its utube and its easy to go to the gutter or say inmature insults so im Not insulted here....This is utube and its easy to expect childish insults,they come a dime a dozen and its contagious.
Maturity comes with age and Im betting on im a lot oder than you,I wish you well and good luck.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Pray for America and our Rights and Freedoms,it seems that right now that common sense isnt common anylonger and everything is racist,resist and refuse to go toward the easy path of Mob Rule my friend and again good luck.
