B_Seehawer Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Ok, not my gun and never really messed with XD's. I shoot glocks ans M&P's and know better than to oil the striker tunnel. I got my buddies gun torn apart and the entire inside was dripping with oil. I degreased and reassembled without lube in the striker tunnel. Is this correct or to XD's need a little? ganderman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 A very light film of oil is good, over oiling can cause problems eventually. Some run them dry in the firing pin channel and they work just fine but the parts are all metal so some oil is warranted. If the firing pin channel is heavily oiled and the breather hole becomes plugged it can cause a hydraulic effect and slow the firing pin down to the point of a miss fire.

Loves2Shoot Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 IMO oil it and then wipe it out so you can't see any standing oil and that should be enough lubrication. As Rich, said too much is way worse than not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasA Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 A Springfield tech said that you shouldn't oil it. However, I do and have never had any light primer strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 A Springfield tech said that you shouldn't oil it. However, I do and have never had any light primer strikes. Somehow I don't see why a Springfield tech would want to give you anything other than the best advice If someone really feels the need, wipe it with a slightly oily rag, then wipe it off with a clean rag and there'd be more than enough left to protect the metal.

bulamike Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I would go light, but definitely dont drip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCKev Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I run both of mine with a lite coat of oil on the internal's and have had good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
