I am giving a warning and disclaimer on this video, do not attempt to disassemble or reassemble a Springfield XDM unless you have complete confidence in your ability with firearms. This should only be done by qualified armorers or gunsmiths. This is for educational purposes only. I have to say, this is one of the most difficult pistols to do a reassembly on, the disassembly is not to bad but reassembly will test your patience.and your skills, especially if you go into it blind like John and I did.
The dis-assembly should be looked at really good before beginning and could void your warranty. I actually enjoy the challenge of doing these types of videos and have been doing them for my whole life, I have a ton of confidence in my abilities.Now, with all that said, I had a blast taking this firearm apart but also see why I like the Glock over the XDM. Please, do not get me wrong, I think they are fine pistols but I love simplicity and think there is way to much going on in a XDM for my liking. That is my personal opinion.
I did the dis-assembly in one video, then the re-assembly and the slide will have their own seperate videos. It will be a 3 part series. Actually 4, including a range video that is planned for this coming Tuesday.
I hope this video does educate people on the XDM and hopefully you will learn a lot from it, I sure did. I thank you for watching and ask you to visit my partner channel K&W Gun Works/ Southern Yankee Guns. Their youtube channel is kwgunworks. I also ask you to visit the ammunitiondepot .com. The links for both are at the top of this description. I have a 5% off discount code for the ammunition depot that will help offset some of the shipping costs. that code is ( 5pct123 ). If you have any questions on this firearm or you think I can help you in any way, please leave a comment or PM me.Thank you and God Bless. : )

@Glockgeist Please be very careful with the disassembly and reassembly of this gun. It is very complicated and could void your warranty. I hope this video helps and if you want some more info, let me know. Thanks. : )

@ChromeFreak123 I'm a smith. Just haven't had much experience on xdm's. Nothing new inside. Just configured a little different. The video helped answer some questions I had so I could avoid chasing springs. And you weren't kidding about that grip safety spring. Talk about a pain in the you know what. lol
