Springfield XD 9Mm Service Model Black California Compliant

The Springfield XD 9mm Service Model Black California Compliant represents a cornerstone of modern defensive handgun design, engineered specifically for shooters within California’s regulatory framework.

Built around a striker-fired system with a short-reset trigger, this service model delivers consistent accuracy and rapid follow-up shots for both duty and personal defense applications. The slide features a durable black Melonite finish that resists corrosion and wear, while the grip incorporates the iconic XD ergonomic texture for positive control under recoil.

Overview
