The Springfield XD 40 S&W 4.0 Full-Size Service Model with V-10 Ported Barrel delivers a proven combination of duty-grade reliability and recoil management for the serious shooter. Built on the robust XD platform, this full-size service pistol is chambered in .40 S&W and features a factory-ported slide and barrel system designed to reduce muzzle rise during rapid fire. Whether you are outfitting a duty belt, preparing for home defense, or competing in practical shooting events, the V-10 Ported Barrel model stands as a functional, no-nonsense choice from Springfield Armory.

Overview

The Springfield XD 40 S&W 4.0 Full-Size Service Model with V-10 Ported Barrel is a striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol engineered for consistent performance under demanding conditions. The 4.0-inch barrel features a V-10 porting pattern—ten vertical slots machined into the barrel and slide—that directs propellant gases upward, counteracting muzzle flip and allowing faster follow-up shots. This full-size service model retains the full grip length and a 12-round magazine capacity, ensuring a solid purchase and ample firepower. Finished in a durable black Melonite coating, the slide and barrel resist corrosion and wear, maintaining function through extended use. The XD line has been a staple in law enforcement and civilian markets for years, and the V-10 variant refines that platform for shooters who prioritize control without sacrificing the .40 S&W cartridge’s terminal performance.

Features & Specs

Every component of the Springfield XD 40 S&W 4.0 Full-Size Service Model with V-10 Ported Barrel is selected for utility and longevity. The ported barrel and slide work in concert to reduce perceived recoil, while the internal safety system—consisting of a grip safety, trigger safety, and firing pin block—provides multiple layers of secure operation. The loaded chamber indicator and striker status indicator give immediate visual and tactile confirmation of the pistol’s condition. Below are the core specifications and included features:

• Caliber: .40 S&W; barrel length: 4.0 inches; overall length: 7.3 inches; height: 5.5 inches; weight: approximately 28 ounces (unloaded)
• V-10 ported barrel and slide with ten gas-venting slots for reduced muzzle rise; Melonite finish on barrel and slide surfaces
• Interchangeable backstraps (three sizes included); dovetail front and rear steel sights; accessory rail (Picatinny standard) on the dust cover
• Two stainless steel 12-round magazines; polymer frame with integral grip texture; magazine release is reversible for left-handed use

The trigger pull is consistent at approximately 5.5 to 6.5 pounds, with a short reset that aids in rapid engagement. The slide is machined from forged steel, and the barrel is hammer-forged for accuracy and longevity.

Who It’s For

The Springfield XD 40 S&W 4.0 Full-Size Service Model with V-10 Ported Barrel is designed for shooters who require a full-handled, high-capacity pistol in .40 S&W and want factory porting to manage recoil without adding compensator weight. This model suits law enforcement personnel who carry a full-size duty weapon and need quick recovery between shots. It also appeals to civilian owners who prefer the .40 S&W cartridge for home defense or range training and want a firearm that comes ready with porting from the manufacturer. Competitive shooters in Limited or Production divisions who can run ported barrels will appreciate the reduction in muzzle climb. If you are comfortable with the .40 S&W recoil impulse but want to tame it further, the V-10 configuration offers a direct solution without aftermarket modification.
