so i flipped up the slide release and racked it pulling the trigger to release the slide
yep, correct me if I'm wrong but i believe a glock also.
On an XD you have to pull the trigger to remove the slide?
finity said:The way the XD is field stripped is as follows:
1. Drop the mag.
2. Extract the chambered round.
3. Lock the slide back.
4. Flip the takedown lever up.
5. Pull the trigger.
6. Release the slide (while holding it or it will fly off the end) & slide it off.
