Overview

Springfield Armory built the XD-40 Subcompact as a purpose-driven carry pistol. The police trade-in designation means these specific units were previously issued to law enforcement agencies. They typically exhibit holster wear, scuffs, and finish loss on the slide and frame, but the internal components remain serviceable. This is not a pristine retail piece; it is a working firearm with a proven track record. The springfield xd-40 subcompact 40 s&w police trade-in pistol retains all original safety features and ergonomics, making it a solid option for shooters who want a low-cost entry into the XD platform without sacrificing reliability.

The slide is forged steel with a Melonite finish, though trade-in examples will show wear. Magazine capacity is 9+1 rounds with the flush-fit magazine and 12+1 with the extended grip magazine.
