Overview

The Springfield XD 40 S&W Service Model Black California Compliant is a striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol engineered for reliability in demanding conditions. It features a black Melonite finish on the slide and barrel for corrosion resistance, a polymer frame with an integral accessory rail, and Springfield’s signature grip safety system. The 4-inch barrel provides a full-length sight radius for improved accuracy, while the 12-round magazine capacity (compliant with California law) ensures you have sufficient firepower for defensive scenarios. This model ships with two magazines, a paddle holster, magazine loader, and a lockable hard case.
