The Springfield Armory XD Mod.2 .45 ACP delivers proven stopping power in a refined platform that addresses common striker-fired pistol limitations. This stainless steel variant combines corrosion resistance with the reliability Springfield built into their XD series over two decades.
What Makes This Different
The XD Mod.2 features Springfield's GripZone texture treatment, providing secure handling without the aggressive stippling that wears on clothing and hands. Unlike basic polymer frames, this model incorporates three distinct grip textures strategically placed for optimal control. The striker status indicator and loaded chamber indicator provide immediate visual and tactile confirmation of the pistol's condition.
Key Features
- 13+1 capacity in .45 ACP with flush-fitting magazine
- Stainless steel slide and barrel resist corrosion and wear
- GripZone texturing with three distinct surface treatments
- Striker status indicator and loaded chamber indicator for safety
- Low-profile 3-dot sights with white outline rear sight
- Accessory rail accommodates lights and lasers
- Ambidextrous magazine release for left-handed shooters
Field performance centers on the .45 ACP's proven terminal ballistics, delivering substantial energy transfer in defensive scenarios. The 4-inch barrel provides sufficient velocity for hollow point expansion while maintaining manageable recoil through the pistol's balanced design. Stainless steel construction handles extended range sessions and adverse weather conditions without degradation.
