  Springfield XD .45 ACP
The XD guns are available in three different barrel lengths: the 3.1-inch barrel is called the Sub-Compact, the 4-inch barrel is the Service Model, and the 5-inch gun is the Tactical Model.
Springfield Armory's design engineers were able to offer this high-capacity, big-bore loading by only slightly enlarging the pistol's grip circumference.
Springfield has also molded a slight depression at the top of the grip that is a perfect spot for the shooting thumb to further enhance a secure shooting grip.

 Review of the Springfield Armory XD 40
This is my experience with the Springfield XD in the 40 caliber.
The XD comes in a hard plastic carrying case that has is emblazoned with Springfield Armory on the side.
Looking at the side view of the XD you will notice that the handle appears to be modeled from the.45 auto and grafted to the slide of a Glock.

 Springfield Armory XD Series
Springfield Armory is the exzclusive importer, although the pistol was originally imported as the HS 2000 by HS America more than a year ago.
XD designers kept the circumference of the grip down by eschewing a plastic-coated magazine and using a plain metal one.
The Springfield XD has all the attributes to give the pistolero a reliable and consistent pistol, and does it all for less than $500.

 the will to exist - Springfield Armory XD Sub Compact .40 vs. Smith & Wesson M&P .40
I wrote to Springfield Armory asking for some literature on the pistol, but never received a reply.
I bought a XD 40 sub-compact a little over a week ago for concealed carry, and I have put around 400 rounds through her so far.
The Springfield XD (4” barrel), is superior to the SandW MandP (4.25” barrel), and the Glock 23 (4” barrel).

  Springfield Armory XD45, .45 ACP Auto Pistol
Springfield Armory's XD has been on the U.S. market under their name for quite a while now, and has proven to be a popular, modern, and reliable auto pistol.
The XD has a tactile and visible loaded-chamber indicator atop the slide, which makes it easy to ascertain whether or not the chamber is loaded without retracting the slide.
Also on the XD, the rear of the striker protrudes from the back of the slide slightly when the pistol is cocked and ready to fire, again allowing the shooter to determine the ready condition of the weapon, even in total darkness.

  Springfield Armory XD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The XD's grip angle is the same as that of a 1911, which tends to make the gun more naturally pointable in the view of most American shooters.
The sight mounts on XD pistols are essentially the same as sight mounts on the popular line of pistols made by SIG, meaning that there is a large variety of aftermarket sights that can be installed on an XD without modification.
Springfield Armory's position seems to be that with a lifetime warranty that includes repair work, parts sales are not necessary.

 Real Guns - Springfield versus Springfield
The XD 40 shows better fit and finish than the original HS 2000 and the pistol is now backed by a respected maker’s warranty.
The XD 40 frame is subtly different than many polymer frame guns, including the Glock, and this improved grip angle allows better comfort, improved control, and more control of the handgun in rapid fire.
The XD 40 is a simpler handgun to fieldstrip, operate and maintain than the 1911.

 Going over to the Dark Side - The Springfield Armory XD-9 Tactical Pistol
The XD series of pistols are classified as single action, not double action or “safe action.” When the slide cycles, the striker is fully cocked, not partially in the way the Glock is. The XD may look like a double action pistol but it isn’t, and it doesn’t shoot like one.
The rifling of XD barrels is traditional, making them a tad more friendly to reloads and lead bullets than the polygonal rifling of the Glock.
Springfield Armory made the decision to sell the XD in a “kit” which includes kydex holster, magazine pouch, magazine loader, and some other odds and ends like a bore brush.

 SPRINGFIELD ARMORY
The XD throws some new features into the mix, too: a 1911-style grip safety, a loaded-chamber indicator atop the slide and a cocked indicator protruding from the rear of the slide.
Following the lead of the Glock tests, the XD was "caked, covered and buried alive in soils of varying consistencies." We used everything from dust and ash to moist dirt and sand.
Carry Options for the XD The XD is a relative newcomer on the handgun scene, yet heavy sales have resulted in a mountainous selection of holsters becoming available very quickly.

 TACTICAL TERRORIZER: Springfield XD Pistols
Called the XD LE Tactical, this pistol with its longer-than-standard slide, may be one of the finest duty pistols ever.
The XD also has an out-of-battery safety engineered so that the disconnector is closely timed to prevent the gun from firing if the barrel is only slightly unlocked due to the slide not being fully forward.
Springfield reportedly also has a holster for the XD and others are sure to follow.
