Tekmat Gun Cleaning Mat Springfield Armory XDS TEKR17XDS

You want a work surface that’s as dependable as your tools — the Tekmat Springfield Armory XDS delivers that and then some. Sized at an oversized 11" x 17", this soft thermoplastic cleaning mat gives you generous room to lay out every component during disassembly and cleaning, so parts don’t get crowded or misplaced. At a sturdy 1/8" thickness, the mat provides just the right amount of cushioning to protect delicate finishes while still feeling stable under your hands.

The top surface is printed with a clear XDS parts list, laid out to help you keep track of pins, springs, and small hardware during maintenance. The fade-resistant print is produced to stay readable even after repeated exposure to cleaners and oils, so the illustrations and callouts keep their contrast and usefulness over time. Tekmat’s dye and printing choices mean the guide won’t wash away or blur during routine servicing, which is a small detail that makes a big difference when you’re in the middle of a detailed job.

Underneath, an extra-thick vulcanized rubber underside keeps everything steady. That dense layer prevents the mat from sliding on bench tops and protects your work surfaces from drips, nicks, and dropped parts. The rubber backing also helps dampen noise when tools or springs hit the mat and gives the whole assembly a reassuringly solid feel. Combined with the soft thermoplastic surface, it creates a protected workspace that’s both comfortable to use and tough enough to handle solvents and spills.

Durability was clearly part of the brief. The mat is water-resistant, scratch proof, fade-resistant, and oil-resistant, so it stands up to the solvents, oils, and repeated handling that come with regular firearm care. That resilience adds up to fewer distractions and more time spent on the job, whether you’re a professional armorer or someone who likes to keep their pistol in peak condition at home. The materials are chosen to be forgiving to metal parts while resisting stains and degradation, so the mat keeps looking and performing like new longer.

Portability and storage were built into the design, too. The mat rolls up easily, so it stows compactly in a range bag, tool chest, or drawer when you don’t need it. When you do need it, you unroll a ready-made, organized workspace that’s large enough for full disassembly of your XDS without spreading parts across multiple surfaces. That roll-up convenience makes it a practical companion for range trips, classes, or field maintenance.

Aesthetically, the Tekmat Springfield Armory XDS mat looks sharp and professional. The printed parts list is crisp, the matte surface reduces glare, and the overall presentation makes your bench appear organized and intentional. It’s not just a mat — it’s a functional upgrade that protects both firearm and work surface, improves organization, and speeds up maintenance tasks.
