  • why do you have to release the slide slowly? these guns are durable and can take a beating. why be so gentle? check my vid out

  • scottsvalleyphoto answered the question well. It's usually best to ease the slide or bolt forward on any semi auto when not actually chambering a round. The parts were designed to handle wear and tear with the condition that a round was being stripped from the magazine, acting as a brake to slow things down a little while the slide slams home. XDs can handle having the slide slammed shut on an empty chamber, still not a great habit to get into IMO. On 1911s parts can be damaged by that...

  • Also, step #5 on page 23 of the Springfield XD owners manual specifically states that you should "allow the slide to slowly move forward until the spring tension is released."

  • nice gun you have there. what caliber is it? i have the all black XD .45 with a four inch barrel

  • That's a 4" Service size XD 9mm in the video. It's the "Bi-tone" version with the stainless slide.

  • now i know thanks

  • wow that was hard -_-

  • Damn..slow down if this an instructional video or are you showing off?

  • I love the simplicity of the XD, mines the DuoTone 9 like yours. I like my Glock and my M&P but there's just something about the XD, it just has that "feel" to it.

  • Just got my XD .40 cal, 4". Love it, easy to strip maintain and a great shooter.

  • @whitedahlia420 yah, when you play with m240b m249s and the smallest thing you shoot is an m4 and piece of crap beretta then yah youll know where im coming from

  • @gacolon14 wow

  • Me and my buddy spent hours trying to take it apart until I looked this up lol we thought the sig was easier... didn't think to pull the trigger lol

  • @wrangomonger - Sure thing, kid.

  • @wrangomonger - Clear. That is my point. You claimed that this video wasn't a disassembly video and that it is strictly a "field strip" video. Everybody likes to pretend to be an expert on the internet, but thankfully a few of us can set them straight when they state something stupid. Again, crystal clear point.
