The Springfield Armory XDS5902MFDE Backstrap Sleeve transforms grip ergonomics on XD-S pistols with precision-molded polymer construction. This flat dark earth component replaces the standard #2 backstrap to provide enhanced control and comfort during extended shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic grip modifications, this factory backstrap sleeve integrates seamlessly with the XD-S frame architecture. The one-piece polymer design eliminates potential failure points found in multi-component aftermarket solutions. Springfield's proprietary polymer blend resists impact damage and maintains dimensional stability across temperature extremes from -40°F to 140°F.
Key Features
- Factory-engineered #2 backstrap profile increases grip circumference by 4mm
- Flat Dark Earth polymer finish matches tactical accessories and equipment
- One-piece construction eliminates assembly gaps and potential debris collection
- Textured surface pattern provides consistent grip traction in wet conditions
- Compatible with 9mm XD-S models featuring 3" and 4" barrel lengths
- Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or permanent modifications

Field testing demonstrates improved shot-to-shot consistency with the enlarged grip circumference. Law enforcement agencies report reduced hand fatigue during qualification courses exceeding 200 rounds. The textured polymer surface maintains grip security even with wet or gloved hands, making it suitable for duty carry and competitive shooting applications.
