The black Melonite finish provides corrosion resistance, and the polymer frame includes interchangeable backstraps for custom fit.

Overview

The Springfield XDM 3.8 40 S&W Full-Size Black Pistol bridges the gap between compact slide dimensions and full-size handling characteristics. With a 3.8-inch hammer-forged barrel and a full-length grip, this pistol offers a 15+1 round capacity in .40 S&W. The XDM series is known for its loaded chamber indicator, cocked striker indicator, and a trigger safety system that includes a bladed safety lever. The slide is serrated front and rear for positive manipulation, and the dovetailed front and rear sights are low-profile for snag-free draw. The overall length is 7.1 inches with a weight of approximately 27 ounces unloaded, making it a substantial but manageable firearm for shooters who prefer the .40 S&W cartridge.

Who It’s For

The Springfield XDM 3.8 40 S&W Full-Size Black Pistol is designed for shooters who want a .40 S&W service pistol with a slightly shorter slide than a standard 4.5-inch full-size, without sacrificing grip length or magazine capacity. It is appropriate for law enforcement officers who carry a .40 caliber duty weapon, for civilian home defense, and for shooters who prefer the .40 S&W ballistics for its balance of velocity and bullet weight. The interchangeable backstraps make it adaptable for different hand sizes, and the included holster and magazine pouch add value for new owners. This pistol is also suitable for competitive shooters in divisions that allow production or service pistols with .40 caliber magazines.
