The Springfield XD 40 S&W Sub-Compact Black (Compliant) delivers reliable performance in a concealable format.

Overview
The Springfield XD 40 S&W Sub-Compact Black (Compliant) is a purpose-built defensive handgun. It utilizes a 3-inch barrel and a short grip profile to minimize printing while maintaining a full-caliber capacity. The black polymer frame and steel slide reduce weight without sacrificing structural integrity. This model includes a loaded chamber indicator, a grip safety, and a trigger safety—providing multiple layers of passive protection. The .40 S&W cartridge offers a balance of velocity and energy suitable for self-defense scenarios.
Features & Specs
This compliant version retains the core engineering of the standard XD series. Key specifications include a 10-round magazine capacity, a forged steel slide with a protective black finish, and a polymer frame with an integral accessory rail. The sights are a low-profile three-dot system for rapid target acquisition.
- Caliber: .40 S&W; barrel length: 3.0 inches; overall length: 6.25 inches; weight unloaded: 21.5 ounces.

Who It Is For
This firearm is designed for civilian concealed carriers who require a .40 S&W platform in a sub-compact format. It suits shooters who prioritize reliability and safety features over extended capacity. The compliant configuration makes it a direct option for purchasers in states with magazine restrictions. Law enforcement professionals seeking an off-duty or backup weapon may also find the dimensions and caliber appropriate. The grip texture and frame size accommodate shooters with average to smaller hand sizes, though the short grip may require technique adjustment for rapid reloads.
- Ideal for daily concealed carry in restrictive jurisdictions.
- Suitable for shooters who prefer the .40 S&W ballistics profile.
- Works for those who want a consistent trigger and manual safety system.
