The Springfield Armory XD45382 Backstrap Sleeve transforms grip ergonomics on XD-M Compact pistols chambered in 45 ACP. This precision-molded polymer component allows shooters to customize their grip circumference for enhanced control and comfort during extended shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic grip modifications that require permanent alterations, this factory backstrap sleeve provides a reversible grip enhancement system. The #2 size designation offers a medium grip circumference that accommodates most hand sizes while maintaining the pistol's original balance point. Springfield's polymer formulation matches the frame material exactly, ensuring consistent wear patterns and maintaining the firearm's structural integrity over thousands of rounds.

Field testing demonstrates improved shot-to-shot consistency when proper grip circumference matches shooter hand dimensions.
