Springfield XD 40 S&W Sub-Compact Black (Compliant)

The Springfield XD 40 S&W Sub-Compact Black (Compliant) delivers proven reliability in a highly concealable package. Built for shooters who demand consistent performance without unnecessary bulk, this model chambers the proven .40 S&W cartridge and meets compliance standards for jurisdictions with specific feature restrictions. As a factory-certified compliant variant, it retains the core engineering of the standard XD platform while adhering to legal requirements.

Overview

The Springfield XD 40 S&W Sub-Compact Black (Compliant) is a striker-fired pistol engineered for personal defense and concealed carry. Its sub-compact frame minimizes print while maintaining a full grip capability via the included magazine with a grip extension. The black finish provides corrosion resistance and a low-profile appearance. This compliant model ships with a reduced-capacity magazine where required, ensuring legal ownership in regulated markets without sacrificing the firearm’s fundamental handling characteristics.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .40 S&W; barrel length: 3.0 inches; overall length: 6.25 inches; weight unloaded: approximately 24 ounces
• Striker-fired action with consistent trigger pull; loaded chamber indicator and cocked striker indicator for visual and tactile status checks
• Black polymer frame with integral accessory rail; forged steel slide with black finish; dovetail front and rear sights

The compliant configuration includes a 10-round magazine (restricted states) or standard capacity where allowed, depending on your location. The sub-compact slide cycles reliably with factory .40 S&W ammunition, and the grip texture provides secure purchase in adverse conditions. The Springfield XD 40 S&W Sub-Compact Black (Compliant) utilizes the same internal safeties as the full-size XD line, including a trigger safety, firing pin block, and drop safety.

The Springfield XD 40 S&W Sub-Compact Black (Compliant) is appropriate for anyone needing a compliant variant without compromising on the Springfield Armory reliability standard.
