Overview

The Springfield XD 40 S&W Sub-Compact Black (Compliant) is a striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol built on a black polymer frame with a reinforced steel slide. Its sub-compact design features a 3-inch barrel and a shortened grip, making it one of the most concealable options in the Springfield lineup. The firearm utilizes the XD (Xtreme Duty) safety system, including a grip safety, trigger safety, and a loaded chamber indicator. This specific compliant model adheres to state and local capacity laws, providing a lawful solution for concealed carry without sacrificing the XD’s renowned durability and accuracy. It is an ideal choice for those who prefer the .40 S&W caliber for its balance of velocity and stopping energy.

Below are the key features and specifications:

• Caliber: .40 S&W; barrel length: 3 inches; overall length: 6.25 inches; weight: 22 ounces (unloaded).

The firearm disassembles without tools for cleaning and maintenance, a standard feature of the XD line.

Who It Is For

This compliant model is specifically designed for the civilian concealed carrier who lives in or travels through states with magazine capacity restrictions. It is also suitable for law enforcement officers seeking a dependable backup weapon or off-duty carry piece. The sub-compact size makes it ideal for appendix, inside-the-waistband, or ankle carry. Shooters with smaller hands will appreciate the reduced grip circumference, while those accustomed to the .40 S&W round will find the recoil manageable within this compact frame. It is not intended for competition or recreational target shooting, but rather for dedicated personal protection where concealment and reliability are paramount.

• Individuals requiring a lightweight, compact firearm for deep concealment.
• Experienced shooters transitioning from full-size to sub-compact platforms.
