Springfield Armory XD-S VS Springfield Armory XD

The latest edition of Springfield’s most popular pistol is engineered in a slim, single-stack frame, holding 6 rounds of .45 ACP and offers upgrades from the inside out. The XD-S Mod.2 features a higher hand position, enhanced grip texturing, thinner slide, an Ameriglo® Pro-Glo™ front sight with tactical-rack rear sight, and an enhanced trigger that advance this polymer-framed pistol’s acclaimed “œpoint and shoot” ergonomics. Other features include a loaded chamber indicator and a grip safety that immediately readies the gun for action yet renders it virtually incapable of firing if dropped. The width of the grip is a mere .975″, and the Mod.2 grip texturing gives the operator a solid feel and secure hold of the pistol, especially important in defensive encounters. Longer Posi-Wedge™ serrations make the slide easier to grab and rack. The enhanced short-reset and consistent trigger is the perfect choice for a defensive carry pistol.

It’s not every day that you rub shoulders with a living legend. The XD® set the bar for polymer pistols. In 2001, Springfield Armory redefined the industry standard for superior ergonomic comfort, ease of operation, features and performance in one fell swoop with the XD. The grip safety, Ultra Safety Assurance (USA) Action Trigger System™, and the firing pin block safety combine to make this an undeniably safe defensive tool. If you’re looking for a solid handgun for duty, concealed carry, or self-defense at a price point you can respect, the legend awaits. So when you enter the presence of the XD®, play it cool— because rest assured, greatness always notices greatness
