Who It’s For

This springfield xd 40 s&w sub-compact black (compliant) is designed for the concealed carrier who demands .40 caliber performance without the bulk of a full-size duty pistol. It suits civilian permit holders seeking a reliable everyday carry option, as well as plainclothes professionals requiring a discreet backup weapon.
