​In this video, I demonstrate the proper cleaning procedures for two of my handguns: the Springfield XD and the Springfield Hellcat. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure firearm reliability and longevity. Here's a step-by-step guide for each:​

General Safety Precautions:

Unload the Firearm: Always ensure the firearm is unloaded. Remove the magazine and check the chamber to confirm it's empty.​

Work in a Safe Environment: Choose a well-ventilated area free from distractions.​

Use Appropriate Tools and Cleaning Supplies: Gather a cleaning kit suitable for your firearm's caliber, including solvent, lubricant, brushes, and cleaning patches.​

Cleaning the Springfield XD:

Field Strip the Firearm:

Lock the slide back and ensure the chamber is empty.​

Rotate the takedown lever upward.​

Release the slide lock and carefully move the slide forward off the frame.​

Remove the recoil spring and barrel from the slide.​

Clean the Barrel:

Apply solvent to a bore brush and run it through the barrel several times.​

Use cleaning patches to remove residue until they come out clean.​

Clean the Slide and Frame:

Use a nylon brush to scrub the slide's interior, focusing on the breech face and rails.​

Wipe down the frame, paying attention to the rails and trigger mechanism.​

Lubricate:

Apply a small amount of lubricant to the barrel's exterior, slide rails, and other contact points.​

Reassemble:

Reinsert the barrel and recoil spring into the slide.​

Align the slide with the frame and push it back into place.​

Rotate the takedown lever back to its original position.​

Cleaning the Springfield Hellcat:

Field Strip the Firearm:

Lock the slide back and verify the chamber is empty.​

Rotate the disassembly lever upward.​

Release the slide lock and guide the slide forward off the frame.​

Remove the recoil spring and barrel from the slide.​

Clean the Barrel:

Apply solvent to a bore brush and pass it through the barrel multiple times.​

Use cleaning patches to remove debris until they appear clean.​

Clean the Slide and Frame:

Scrub the slide's interior with a nylon brush, focusing on critical areas like the breech face.​

Wipe down the frame, ensuring the rails and other components are free from residue.​

Lubricate:

Lightly lubricate the barrel's exterior, slide rails, and other friction points.​

Reassemble:

Place the barrel and recoil spring back into the slide.​

Align the slide with the frame and move it rearward into position.​

Rotate the disassembly lever back down.​

Final Function Check:

After reassembly, perform a function check to ensure everything operates correctly:​

Rack the slide to confirm smooth movement.​

Dry fire in a safe direction to test the trigger and reset.​

Check the safety mechanisms.​

Regular cleaning and maintenance of your firearms are vital for safe operation and longevity. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions and follow all safety guidelines.​
