I don't think you need to give it an oil bath like that. I lube a couple spots on my XD (barrel and slide) and it works fine. Easier to clean after every 500 rounds or so. The XD is a work horse anyway. Never had any problems after 3,000 rounds.
Thank you for this. First, I haven’t been lubing enough on my other firearms using this video as a comparison (I know it won’t apply to some of my other firearms). Secondly, I purchased an XD last Wednesday and I am roughly halfway through my ten day waiting period. I’m researching all the good and bad I can find on this firearm. The two deciding factors were the XD was $100 less than the G19 and felt a hair better in my hand. I’ll let you know how it shoots soon. Again, thank you. (Subbed, by the way).
Do not listen to this. You do not need that much oil and you still need a couple drops in the trigger assembly. If you use this much oil you'll be stopping to clean off your range glasses
William Knight Thanks. I show horses and oiling tack is essential to caring for expensive gear. One always has to use common sense in such matters to avoid over doing it. I have experienced gun owners telling me never to clean my gun, just keep it oiled. OMG! The video is excellent and relieved a lot my anxiety. My ‘baby’ is doing just fine! Thanks again.
William Knight Too much of some things is bad. LOL As for the Springfield XD-M Elite...no regrets. My Glock friends rib me, but they always want to pull my trigger.
The first video where the instructor actually put a good amount of oil on a weapon. I have handled lots of firearms over the years and what I see is many folks look like they put zero oil on their firearms, I mean very dry looking. Not me.
We usually clean our 'stuff' after every trip to the range. Why? Well, because it's fun, and provides more time for swapping lies about the day's shoot. [grin].
All you need on a Glock is 3 drops of lube--if that. Also, anyone can work on a Glock. I don't recall Glock telling me I can't work on my gun; replacing connectors, etc.
As a beginner gun owner with the same gun in your video. This is by far the best demonstration I’ve seen. Keep up the great work.

That is exactly what I thought. Not a lube but an oil bath!
Yeah, i just lightly oil the slide and give the barrel a light coating.

how’d it shoot?
@@matthewcabagelover9993 it’s only seen one box of shells. I can keep it. I thought I wasn’t that good a shot before, now I feel at least competent
Thats a lot of lube, imagine oil everywhere after shooting 10 rounds.
Very useful, thanks!
Ok so just put lube down the striking pin.. (before finding this video) should I just not do it again or should i re clean my pistol?
Just got my first Springfield XD-M Elite. New gun owner. Thanks for a very comprehensive and concise video!

But this was two months ago so I'm sure you've figured this out all on your own 🙂

@@patriciajackson4162 glad you have common sense. It's not too common these days. Glad you are enjoying your baby.

Please do a full clean up and oil vid. That’s what I wanted or anybody else to see.
I have that one the new channel Guns & Tactics
lol its a glock video, not a XD-9
Please share a cleaning video for
Springfield mod 2 3.0
Or HS-9 mod 2 3.0
That seem like a lot of lube!
Oooo well I’m glad i watch this video because I’ve been putting oil on every place that has moving part on my Springfield 😬
I lube mine like a Glock lube points. Works just fine.
Glazed donut sounds great.
Could have done a oil change on my car with all that oil. Jeez.
Sig P 226 video PLEASE
I assume the lubrication points are the same on XDm and the XDs....LOL...I should have waited until the video ended
+Bobby G Yup, no issues
How often should we oil after leaving the shooting range? Or after so many rounds of firing
We usually clean our 'stuff' after every trip to the range. Why? Well, because it's fun, and provides more time for swapping lies about the day's shoot. [grin].
What about using Froglube?
Trash it. It's garbage
Got any new videos
At a new channel. Check this out th-cam.com/video/qbc_ncorCXw/w-d-xo.html
I see u lubricated but didnt clean it:(
That's a lot of oil. The owners manual states only few drops and they know best.
you do you, these guns choke a lot and run better lubed.
Extra lube does not mean extra love...
All you need on a Glock is 3 drops of lube--if that. Also, anyone can work on a Glock. I don't recall Glock telling me I can't work on my gun; replacing connectors, etc.
Considering there is more than 3 oil points in the manual you will need more than 3 drops :-). Glock will void warranty on unauthorized parts
@@Learningfirearms You schooled him
@@CleverCheetah not really.
The lube you used in the needle point oiler is slip 2000 EWL?
+MrChuckwagon55 Yup
