Built for shooters who demand reliability and control, the Springfield XD 45ACP Service Model Black with Thumb Safety delivers proven performance in a full-size defensive platform. Chambered in the potent .45 ACP cartridge, this service-grade pistol is engineered for duty, home defense, and range proficiency.

The black polymer frame and Melonite finished slide ensure durability under heavy use.

Overview

The Springfield XD 45ACP Service Model Black with Thumb Safety is a striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol designed for serious use. With a 4-inch barrel and a 13-round magazine capacity, it balances concealability with firepower. The inclusion of a frame-mounted ambidextrous thumb safety distinguishes this variant, making it suitable for shooters who train with a manual safety as part of their draw stroke. The grip safety remains integral, providing a secondary passive safety system. This model retains the iconic XD ergonomics, including a high-hand beavertail and textured grip panels, allowing for rapid target reacquisition.

Who It’s For
