Springfield XD-E 9mm 8rd DA/SA Pistol Stainless Steel XDE0908

The Springfield Armory XD-E combines traditional double/single-action operation with modern striker-fired reliability in a compact 9mm platform. This stainless steel variant delivers enhanced corrosion resistance while maintaining the crisp trigger control that sets DA/SA pistols apart from striker-only designs.

What Makes This Different

Unlike most modern pistols that use striker-fired systems, the XD-E features a hammer-fired double/single-action mechanism with an exposed hammer for visual confirmation of firing status. The Low Effort Slide (L.E.S.) reduces slide manipulation force by 27% compared to standard designs, making it accessible for shooters with limited hand strength. Springfield's proprietary grip safety adds an extra layer of drop protection beyond the manual thumb safety.

Key Features

• DA/SA hammer-fired action with exposed hammer for status verification
• Low Effort Slide reduces manipulation force by 27%
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and environmental wear
• 8+1 capacity with flush-fitting magazine
• Grip safety and manual thumb safety for enhanced drop protection
• 3.3-inch barrel optimized for concealed carry applications
• Fiber optic front sight with dovetailed rear sight

The XD-E performs consistently across temperature ranges and environmental conditions typical of concealed carry scenarios. The DA/SA trigger system allows for safe carry with a round chambered while providing the option of single-action follow-up shots. Law enforcement agencies have adopted similar hammer-fired platforms for their predictable trigger characteristics and multiple safety systems. The stainless finish maintains appearance and function through extended carry periods.
