The Springfield Armory XDG5003 Magazine Sleeve transforms compact pistol handling by extending the grip surface on subcompact XD Mod.2 pistols. This polymer sleeve bridges the gap between compact magazines and subcompact frames, eliminating the awkward overhang that affects control and comfort.
What Makes This Different
Unlike aftermarket grip extensions that add bulk or alter the pistol's profile, the XDG5003 maintains the factory aesthetic while providing essential grip real estate. The sleeve integrates seamlessly with Springfield's magazine design, creating a flush fit that appears factory-installed. This approach preserves concealability while dramatically improving shooting control compared to exposed magazine bases.

The sleeve addresses a common issue faced by shooters who carry subcompact XD Mod.2 pistols with higher-capacity magazines.
