With an overall length of 7 inches and an unloaded weight under 30 ounces, the springfield xdm 45acp 3.8 compact black compliant essentials model bridges the gap between service pistol power and subcompact portability.

It suits the civilian concealed carrier who trains regularly and demands a compact frame that still allows a full firing grip. Law enforcement professionals looking for an off-duty or backup piece will appreciate the same trigger and manual of arms as the full-size XDM line. It also serves the home defender who wants a high-capacity .45 ACP that stores easily in a nightstand safe. If you require a compliant model that meets restricted-state magazine limits while retaining all core XDM features, the springfield xdm 45acp 3.8 compact black compliant essentials model is the direct, no-excuses choice.
