Ergonomics, controls, and on-target performance

The XD platform is widely respected for its grip safety design and intuitive controls. The .40 caliber chambering offers a balance between recoil management and terminal performance; .40 S&W can be an effective choice for duty or personal defense when paired with proper training. The Crimson Trace grip laser mounted on this example accelerates sight alignment and can be particularly helpful for shooters transitioning from iron sights or training for close-quarters scenarios.

Practical considerations

This pistol comes with one 12rd magazine—plan to add extra magazines for range work and redundancy. Because the package lacks the original box and paperwork, validate serial and transfer paperwork through your dealer before purchase. The listing’s price point of $349.99 makes it an attractive option for buyers seeking a laser-equipped defensive pistol without buying new.

The Springfield Armory name brings legacy and aftermarket support; even when listed as Model: Various, parts and service networks are robust, which helps maintain long-term value and serviceability.
