The brand new Springfield XD Mod.2™ 40S&W Sub-Compact includes a variety of fine tuned, new and improved features. Mod.2™ ergonomics are a next-level experience that you have to feel to believe and understand. The entire interface between the shooter and the gun has been updated, while retaining the Point-and-Shoot characteristics that made it famous. Key features have been tweaked and enhanced to further enable effortless shooting. And you’ll find that the overall package is now more concealable as well.
Equipped with the GripZone™, the XD® Mod.2™ Sub-Compact 40 S&W applies ergonomic science to every surface that touches your hand. The GripZone™ is a set of frame features working in unison to optimize interaction between the human hand and the pistol. Within the GripZone™, there are three distinct textures, each engineered for a specific purpose.
The re-contoured, slimmer frame and slide add up to a far more natural grip feel that has nearly twice the magazine capacity and is only 2 tenths of an inch thicker than single stack conceal carry models. The High-Hand™ grip relief and High-Hand™ beavertail enable the hand to be positioned as high as possible toward the barrel bore thereby greatly reducing the pistol’s felt recoil. The no-snag trigger guard minimizes possible unintended contact with a holster or clothing. All of these GripZone™ advantages are ergonomic features that you will truly feel. It all adds up to a pistol that naturally and comfortably stays positioned in your hand.
Achieve easier and faster target acquisition with the fiber optic front sight.
The rear sight on the Mod.2™ is low profile, snag free, and holster friendly.
A more pronounced rear serration makes racking the slide effortless.
The Mod.2™ has a slimmer slide for concealability and more comfortable carry. The Mod.2™ frame has been re-contoured, a slimmer frame adds up to a more natural grip.
Higher hand positioning toward the barrel’s bore axis reduces felt recoil when firing.
Works in unison with the High-Hand™ Beavertail to reduce felt recoil.
I love the trigger on it but as for the rest of the gun I'm a little disappointed. The weight is outrageous. I understand it helps with recoil but jesus this thing is heavy for its size it is heavier than all my full size hand guns and all my revolvers except my 460. Also it's not that thin. My full size smith and Wesson with the long slide is thinner and lighter than this gun. the extended mag also feels like it wiggles around when you are shooting which bothers me.
As far as function I've yet to have a jam or a fail to feed but the internals seem to be wearing faster than my other guns as well.
This is my third and favorite Springfield XDM pistol. For me the grip is a home run and fits my hand the way I feel a pistol should. In a perfect world Springfield would offer a method to upgrade the grip on my XDM 4.5 and XDM 5.25 to the MOD2 grip zone style.
Good shooting gun. Not much recoil for a small framed gun. This is my first online gun buying experience and it was a good one. Great price, just add a little extra fee for FFL. Very good customer service from Sportmans, I will buy from them again.
Have been shooting my Glock issue for past 20 plus years. The Glock is very dependable but I sure like my new Springfield XD. Fantastic shooter and will be much easier to Carry concealed. It's a keeper...
