Overview

The Springfield XD 40 S&W Service Model Black California Compliant is a striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol with a 4-inch barrel and a full-size polymer frame. It comes standard with a 10-round magazine, compliant with California’s capacity restrictions. The black melonite finish on the slide provides corrosion resistance and a low-glare profile, while the ergonomic grip texture ensures a secure hold under recoil. This model incorporates Springfield’s signature grip safety and a trigger safety, adding layers of passive protection without complicating the draw stroke. The service model designation refers to its original adoption by duty personnel, but it performs equally well for home defense and recreational shooting.
