Designed for shooters who demand reliability in a reduced-size platform, this pistol combines the proven XD-M action with a 3.8-inch barrel and a durable two-tone finish.

Overview

Springfield Armory designed the XDM 40 S&W 3.8 Compact Bi-Tone to bridge the gap between full-size service pistols and subcompact carry options. The “Compliant Essentials Package” denotes a configuration that meets common state capacity and feature restrictions while retaining the core attributes of the XD-M series. The slide features a corrosion-resistant stainless steel finish, contrasted with a black polymer frame featuring an integral accessory rail. The 3.8-inch hammer-forged barrel provides a longer sight radius than micro-compact models, improving accuracy without significantly increasing overall length. This package includes two flush-fit magazines, a paddle-style holster, and a double magazine pouch, making it a ready-to-carry system out of the box.

The trigger system delivers a short reset and a crisp break, with a trigger pull weight of approximately 5.5 to 6.0 pounds.
