I'm a newbie gun owner concerned that I might mess up the disassembly of my pistol. After watching this video and then following along step by step I am a lot more comfortable with it. Thank you.
Yeah when I first took apart my wife’s Ruger Security 9 (compact Tiffany blue/nickel slide) I didn’t pay much attention when taking out the recoil spring and was worried that I may have put it in backwards! After shooting the first 75 rounds we took it home and disassembled the pistol to find where the recoil spring sits inside the end of the barrel it had chipped away metal from our slide a decent little chunk too. So I called Ruger and they said you can’t put the recoil spring in backwards and the damage done was enough for me to send in the slide and get another sent to us.
One additional thing I learned is in noticing that you wore rubber/latex gloves. This was to keep the CLP off your hands and constantly returning to the parts while cleaning and in reassembly.
First time popping that extended mag baseplate off and now can't get it back right... I'm going to try the other, but boy do I feel stupid. I've broken down other mags but never one with an extender on it. When you said "I don't need to show you how to do that in a video," I was like, "Oh yes you do!" LOL
@@ernestogarcia9159 There are dedicated lubricants and CLP liquids. Lube is just lube and CLP is a cleaner, lubricant, and protectant all in one. You can use lube on the high friction areas after you’ve cleaned with CLP if you like. But a CLP is all you need.
Do you scrub the threads for the thread protector with a brush and CLP? I have my first threaded barrel pistol and am not sure how to properly maintain the threads and thread protector.
Are there any solutions to changing the black out front and rear sights? Do you all recommend any certain kind of sights? And any places that can change them out ?
You can get a red dot. Which I did. I got the Holosun 508T. It will need a mounting plate. C&H Precision has the right parts. Or... if you don't like red dots, there is a paint you can get to simply paint the top third of your front sight iron. Sort of like with a small nail polish brush. This way it's easier to pick up on the front sight in contrast to your back sight iron.
@@SkullCrushInc thank you for the quick reply. I have always loved Springfields, didn't know what to expect from this trigger but noticed I'm pulling left and low. may have to go aftermarket, not the guns fault though. thank you again.

Great video! I pick my XDM up Friday. I love New Gun Day. Only thing better is New Guitar Day! Range Saturday. Whoopee! Can't wait...
Love my XDM Elite. This is an extremely helpful video. Great job! And thank you!
Perfect for me as a newbie. Thank you

Short and to the point, nice video!
Yes thank you so much waiting to go to the range
Great vid man. She's slidin like butter
This was super helpful thank you
What is your entire set up. It’s clean af
One additional thing I learned is in noticing that you wore rubber/latex gloves.
This was to keep the CLP off your hands and constantly returning to the parts while cleaning and in reassembly.
Ya its definitely good to use nitrile gloves when you use any type of chemicals. It also keeps your skin grease of some stuff like glass your cleaning
My buddy has the elite model in 10 mm didn’t come with a threaded barrel though
Awesome pistol. Thank you for the video. Much appreciated.

Never mind (smack my head); looking at the other mag it was easy to see where I went wrong. Mission accomplished.
GREAT VIDEO
Great vid!
Great video
Very good video!
Great tutorial ! Thanks !
Thank you sir
Is lube and oil the same thing when cleaning ur gun? I’m going to to buy slip 2 thousand ewl oil so is that all i need when cleaning my gun?
I’ve never used Slip 2000
@@SkullCrushInc its gun lube but is that is that i need it clean my gun? Besides from what u mentioned in the video

@@SkullCrushInc thanks

What’s your opinion on that light? I’m looking for something more proportional to my long barrel length. I have the XDM 5.25
It’s the best light you buy at least as of this date. Lights seem to improve more and more every few years.
I cnt wait to get it back omg I love my xdm
Nice video. Subbed.
how do u change the back strap
What color is that Surefire?AFD also?
Tan
Thank you.
Thanks 🙏

Yes. Your local gun shop will change them out.

Any Duty Holster recommendations?
I use Safariland for duty but there’s plenty of other duty stuff out there.
Maybe I haven't watched far enough into the video but I just bought a 10mm XDm and the meta trigger doesn't feel that great, any lubrication tips.
Not going to change the trigger feel. Maybe check and see if there is an aftermarket trigger available.
@@SkullCrushInc thank you for the quick reply. I have always loved Springfields, didn't know what to expect from this trigger but noticed I'm pulling left and low. may have to go aftermarket, not the guns fault though. thank you again.
I’m stuck choosing this gun or a cz p10F or.
It’s best to get both so you don’t have to choose one over the other.
