The Springfield Armory XD-S Mod.2 delivers enhanced concealed carry performance with its slim single-stack design and improved grip texturing. This 9mm pistol combines the reliability Springfield is known for with modern ergonomic refinements that address common concealed carry challenges.
What Makes This Different
The Mod.2 designation represents Springfield's second-generation improvements to the original XD-S platform. Enhanced grip texturing provides 30% better purchase compared to the original model, while the refined trigger system delivers a consistent 5.5-6.5 lb pull weight. The stainless steel slide with Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued finishes, making it suitable for daily carry in varied weather conditions.
