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.
