:::Slide/Firing Pin Chamber Disassembly:::
Ok, I've posted this before, but I just recently did it to someone else's XD so I figured I'd post it up again for anyone that is new or missed it.
If you have had an XD for awhile, or bought one new, I highly recommend doing this at least once a year, or at least every few thousand rounds. Which ever comes first I guess.
Go to the hardware store and pick up a pack of punches that includes a 2/32 punch and a bigger one for holding the firing spring back as you slide the back cover of the chamber out. Then follow these instruction on the sight posted above.
I have talked to Springfield personally, just to clarify, and they said there should be absolutely NO oil in the back portion of the gun. So now is not only the time to clean out any carbon and dry stuff, but any oil that may have accidently gotten back there as well. Oil in the back chamber can cause more harm than good by attracting gunk build up and possibly damaging the internals. So what I do is get some Q-tips, pipe cleaners, and an old tooth brush, and scrub it all down with rubbing alcohol or something similar. Some people I've heard of using brake clean. *shrug*
Anyways, give it a shot if you haven't yet. It's not hard at all.
