The Springfield Armory XD Subcompact in 40 S&W delivers serious stopping power in a compact platform built for concealed carry and backup duty applications. This stainless steel variant features an OD Green polymer frame that provides enhanced grip texture and corrosion resistance in demanding environments.
What Makes This Different
The XD Subcompact incorporates Springfield's Ultra Safety Assurance trigger system with three independent safety mechanisms that prevent accidental discharge. Unlike many subcompacts that sacrifice capacity, this model maintains a 10-round magazine while keeping overall dimensions compact enough for ankle or pocket carry. The stainless steel slide provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel finishes.
Key Features
- 40 S&W chambering with 10+1 capacity for maximum stopping power
- 4-inch barrel length optimizes velocity while maintaining compact profile
- Stainless steel slide construction resists corrosion and wear
- OD Green polymer frame with aggressive texturing for secure grip
- Picatinny rail accommodates tactical lights and laser accessories

Field performance demonstrates consistent accuracy within 3-inch groups at 15 yards with quality ammunition. The 40 S&W cartridge provides proven law enforcement terminal ballistics while the compact dimensions make it suitable for off-duty carry, backup applications, and civilian concealed carry. Weather sealing protects internal components from moisture and debris during extended carry periods.
