Frequently Asked Questions
Springfield XDS 40 for sale
Is the Springfield XDS discontinued?
Springfield Armory discontinued the XD-S Mod.2, confirmed on their own product page. Forum posts reporting the discontinuation around 2020 were accurate. Some retailers may still carry remaining inventory, but Springfield no longer produces the XD-S line.
What ammo is best for the Springfield XD 40?
For practice, standard .40 S&W FMJ rounds work fine. For self-defense, hollow-points like Speer Gold Dot, Hornady Critical Defense, or Winchester Defender in 165–180 grain weights are reliable choices. Test any defensive ammunition in your specific pistol to confirm reliable feeding before carrying it.
Is the Springfield XD-S mod 2 discontinued?
Springfield Armory discontinued the XD-S Mod.2 line. Some variants may still be available through retailers with remaining inventory, but Springfield no longer manufactures them. The XD-S Mod.2 has been replaced by newer models in their lineup.
Are springfield xds better than glocks?
Neither is objectively better. Glocks offer simpler controls and a larger aftermarket. Springfield XD-S pistols include a grip safety and may fit different hands better. Both are reliable. The best choice depends on ergonomics and trigger feel—handle both before deciding.
What is the difference between Springfield XD and XD MOD 2?
The XD MOD 2 features an enhanced grip texture with a more aggressive surface pattern, improved ergonomics, and refined aesthetics compared to the original XD. Both use striker-fired actions with grip safeties. The MOD 2 is essentially a modernized version with ergonomic upgrades rather than fundamental mechanical changes.
Is Springfield as reliable as Glock?
Springfield and Glock are both highly reliable pistols. Glock has a longer track record with military and police agencies worldwide. Springfield XD series performs comparably in most real-world testing. Neither brand shows meaningful reliability differences—your choice should come down to ergonomics, trigger feel, and hand fit.
What are the disadvantages of .40 S&W?
.40 S&W's biggest disadvantage is availability — many retailers no longer keep it in regular stock. It also produces sharper recoil than 9mm, which accelerates pistol wear and slows follow-up shots. Magazine capacity runs lower than 9mm in equivalent-sized pistols, and ammunition costs more. Modern 9mm defensive loads perform comparably.
How many rounds does an XD-40 hold?
The Springfield XD-40 Sub-Compact holds 10 rounds, the standard 4" XD-40 holds 12 rounds, and the 5" Tactical model ships with 10-round magazines. All chamber .40 S&W ammunition.
What does the S stand for in Springfield xds?
The "S" in XD-S stands for "Slim," referring to the pistol's single-stack magazine and narrow profile designed for concealed carry.
Can an XD-40 shoot 9mm?
No, an XD-40 is chambered in .40 S&W and cannot fire 9mm ammunition as-is. Springfield offers a conversion kit that allows you to convert your XD-40 to 9mm, but it requires swapping both the barrel and slide, not just the barrel alone.
Is the Springfield XD-40 subcompact?
Yes, Springfield offers the XD-40 in a 3-inch subcompact configuration. It holds 10 rounds of .40 S&W and is smaller than the standard 4-inch model, making it suitable for concealed carry.
How much is an XD-40 compact?
Springfield XD-40 compact pistols have an MSRP of $540 new. Prices vary by variant and seller. Used models generally sell for $285–$340 depending on condition.
How much is a used Springfield XD 40 subcompact?
Used Springfield XD-40 subcompacts typically sell for $205–$415 depending on condition, included accessories, and seller type. Private sales run lower, while licensed dealers charge more. Check GunBroker or local gun shops for current regional pricing.
What footprint is the XDS optic?
The XD-S Mod.2 OSP uses the RMSc footprint with four recoil lugs. Standard XD-S models are not optics-ready and require milling or an adapter plate to mount compatible optics such as the Holosun 407K or Shield RMSc.
What optic fits a Springfield XD?
Standard XD models lack factory optics mounts and require milling or adapter plates. XD OSP variants accept RMR, DPP, and RMSc footprints via included adapters. Popular choices include Trijicon RMR Type 2, Holosun 507C X2, and Vortex Venom. Consult your manual for exact compatibility before purchasing.
