The Springfield Armory XD Compact .45 ACP delivers full-size stopping power in a concealed carry package. This stainless steel variant combines the proven XD platform with enhanced corrosion resistance and distinctive appearance.
What Makes This Different
The XD Compact bridges the gap between subcompact concealability and full-size capacity with its 13-round magazine in .45 ACP. Unlike many compact pistols that sacrifice capacity for size, this model maintains substantial firepower while reducing overall length by just one inch compared to the full-size XD. The stainless steel slide and barrel provide superior corrosion resistance compared to standard Melonite finishes, making it ideal for humid climates or marine environments.

The XD Compact excels in both duty and personal protection roles. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the consistent trigger pull and reliable feeding across various .45 ACP loads. The 4-inch barrel provides sufficient velocity for hollow point expansion while maintaining manageable recoil. Weather sealing and the stainless construction ensure reliable function in adverse conditions.
