Overview

The Springfield XD 40 S&W Tactical Model Black is built on a polymer frame with a black Melonite finish on the slide and barrel for corrosion resistance and reduced glare. It features a 5-inch barrel, which extends the sight radius for improved precision and increases muzzle velocity over shorter-barreled counterparts. The tactical model includes a loaded chamber indicator, a grip safety, and a trigger safety, all standard on XD pistols. This firearm is designed for users who need a high-capacity .40 S&W platform that performs under stress.
