Though not a substitute for manual inspection, such as a press check, the loaded chamber indicator on the top of the slide lets the shooter see and feel the condition of the weapon when it’s placed in a holster. Longer Posi-Wedge slide serrations on a narrower slide provide a secure grip surface for slide manipulation. An eight-round magazine that splits the difference between the two in terms of capacity and grip enhancement is also available.Ī breakaway view of the lower receiver shows how low the bore sits in relation to the grip. The nine-round magazine has a contoured grip extension that gives the shooter an extra inch of real estate. For deep concealment, the pinky rest can be replaced with a flat base plate that sits flush against the bottom of the magwell.
The seven-round magazine has a pinky rest to add just enough length to get all four fingers around the grip. The Mod.2 9mm ships with two magazines, one seven-rounder and one nine-rounder. By doing so, they were able to package it into a smaller frame with a slimmer profile. Instead they designed a new version around the 9mm round itself. Springfield could’ve simply rechambered the existing 45 ACP XD-S Mod.2 in 9mm, a common move in the firearms industry. No doubt one of the major driving forces behind the popularity of the XD-S is the market demand for smaller and thinner defensive-caliber pistols. The pistol combines many of the attributes that existing XD-S fans know and love with some upgrades that might draw a completely new following. With a design as popular as the XD-S, this might have been a risky move, but that didn’t stop Springfield from pulling out all the stops with their Mod.2 package. Springfield has been making minor tweaks to the XD-S over the years, but this time they did a major overhaul. Since its entry into the polymer pistol market, Springfield has broadened its XD (X-treme Duty) line with a substantial selection of full-size and compact pistols. The company once known for manufacturing iconic American weapons, namely civilian versions of the M14 and M1911, expanded its product line to include polymer pistols in 2002. Springfield Armory has been producing firearms for more than 40 years. In this article, we’ll look at a pistol that checks all the boxes listed above - and even a few that aren’t.
A firearm does absolutely no good to anyone if it’s constantly left at home because it’s too big and heavy to carry in your typical daily attire. Last but not least, it must be comfortable to carry and conceal. It needs to handle well enough that you can get a quick sight picture and place accurate shots on target while effectively managing recoil. Your carry gun should fit your hand well and be chambered in a caliber sufficient to stop a deadly threat. This article originally appeared in CONCEALMENT Issue 12Ĭhoosing a firearm for daily concealed carry requires a lot of forethought and insight into one’s motivation and lifestyle.
