Springfield Mod.2 40 S&W Sub-Compact Bi-Tone With GripZone (Compliant)

The Springfield Mod.2 40 S&W Sub-Compact Bi-Tone with GripZone (Compliant) represents a refined balance between concealability and terminal performance. Chambered in .40 S&W, this platform delivers the stopping power required for defensive carry while maintaining the compact profile demanded by daily concealment. The bi-tone finish offers corrosion resistance and a professional aesthetic, while the GripZone texturing system provides a locked-in hold under adverse conditions. This compliant model adheres to state-specific regulatory standards without compromising operational reliability.

Overview

Springfield Armory engineered the Mod.2 series to address the gap between full-size duty weapons and ultra-compact pocket pistols. The springfield mod.2 40 s&w sub-compact bi-tone with gripzone (compliant) fits squarely in this category, offering a 3-inch barrel and a reduced grip circumference that still accommodates a full three-finger hold. The .40 S&W cartridge provides a higher energy transfer than 9mm options, making this a preferred choice for users who prioritize stopping power in a sub-compact frame. The slide is machined from billet stainless steel with a two-tone satin finish, paired with a black polymer frame that reduces overall weight to 21.5 ounces unloaded.

Features & Specs

Every component of this firearm is chosen for function-first performance. The barrel is forged from hammer-forged steel with Melonite treatment for extended service life. The trigger system utilizes a short-reset trigger with a crisp break at approximately 5.5 to 6.5 pounds. The GripZone texture is not a wrap or aftermarket addition; it is integrally molded into the frame with variable-depth texture panels that increase friction at the support hand thumb interface and the palm swell.

• Caliber: .40 S&W (15+1 capacity with flush-fit magazine; 16+1 with extended magazine)
• Barrel length: 3.0 inches; overall length: 6.2 inches; height: 4.5 inches
• Weight: 21.5 ounces unloaded; slide material: stainless steel with bi-tone finish
• Sights: White dot front and rear, drift-adjustable for windage; loaded chamber indicator
• Frame: High-performance polymer with integral GripZone texturing; accessory rail for lights or lasers

The springfield mod.2 40 s&w sub-compact bi-tone with gripzone (compliant) also includes a dual recoil spring assembly that reduces felt recoil and extends the service life of the slide and frame. The magazine release is reversible for left-handed shooters, and the slide stop lever is low-profile to prevent snagging during draw.
