The Springfield Armory XD5006 Magazine Sleeve transforms standard XD magazines into extended grip configurations without adding capacity. This OD Green polymer extension provides enhanced control and comfort for shooters with larger hands or those seeking improved grip purchase on their .45 ACP Springfield XD pistols.
What Makes This Different
Unlike aftermarket magazine extensions that increase capacity, the XD5006 focuses purely on ergonomics. The one-piece polymer construction maintains the original magazine capacity while extending the grip length by approximately 0.75 inches. This design eliminates the reliability concerns often associated with capacity-increasing extensions while providing measurable improvements in hand positioning and recoil control.

- Extends grip length without increasing magazine capacity
- Compatible with all Springfield XD .45 ACP magazines

The sleeve's impact on shooting performance becomes apparent during extended range sessions and competitive events.

Law enforcement and competitive shooters report improved comfort during extended carry periods and enhanced weapon retention during dynamic movements.
