Built for California compliance without compromise

This XD-4 Service model provides a 10-round magazine specifically for localities with capacity restrictions while retaining a full-size grip and 4″ barrel for effective sight radius and ballistics. The stainless slide and frame surfaces contribute to unrivalled environmental resistance, reducing corrosion concerns for users who train outdoors or carry in varied climates. Priced at $550.99, it positions as a practical, value-driven duty option.

Controls and indicators designed for confidence

Loaded chamber and striker status

The loaded chamber indicator is accessible by both sight and feel, letting an operator quickly verify chamber condition without full strip checks. Complementing that, the striker status indicator provides tactile and visual confirmation of striker position—useful during safe handling and in high-stress scenarios.

Ergonomics and magazine handling

The exceptional grip angle on the XD-4 promotes natural pointability and consistent recoil management, particularly useful with .40 S&W’s stout recoil impulse. A bilateral pushbutton magazine release supports ambidextrous manipulation for right- or left-handed shooters. These features make reloads and transitions intuitive during defensive drills.

Understanding .40 S&W: the caliber offers a balance between energy and manageable size for users prioritizing terminal performance in a compact-to-full-size frame. The 4″ barrel helps optimize velocity compared with subcompact barrels while keeping the pistol carryable for daily use.
