Introduction to how to clean a semi automatic handgun. Using the Springfield XDs 9mm, we show how to take it apart (field strip) and clean the pistol. Explaining a little of how the gun works along the way. I did forget to mention that I usually finish by taking an oily rag and wiping down the outside metal parts as well. Then wipe it off with an old tee shirt. Just to keep the outer metal from getting any rust as well.
