The Springfield Armory XDS5901M Backstrap Sleeve transforms grip ergonomics on XD-S pistols, providing shooters with enhanced control and comfort during extended shooting sessions. This precision-molded polymer component addresses the common issue of grip customization on compact carry pistols.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic grip modifications, this factory-engineered backstrap sleeve integrates seamlessly with the XD-S frame geometry. The #1 size configuration offers a medium grip circumference that accommodates most hand sizes while maintaining the pistol's slim carry profile. Springfield's polymer formulation matches the frame material properties, ensuring consistent expansion and contraction rates across temperature ranges.
Key Features

Field performance shows measurable improvements in recoil management and follow-up shot accuracy when proper grip sizing matches shooter anatomy. Competition shooters report faster split times, while concealed carriers appreciate the enhanced control without sacrificing concealability. The polymer material resists moisture absorption and maintains grip texture through thousands of rounds.
