Overview

The Springfield XD 45ACP Compact Model Black California Compliant is built on Springfield Armory’s polymer frame platform, offering a balance of capacity and concealability.

The black Melonite finish on the slide provides corrosion resistance and a low-glare tactical appearance. This model features the iconic XD grip safety, a loaded chamber indicator, and a striker status indicator, providing visual and tactile confirmation of the firearm’s condition. The trigger system delivers a consistent pull weight of approximately 5.5 to 6.5 pounds, with a short reset for faster follow-up shots.
