Design and Construction

The PROMAG SPRINGFIELD XD uses heat-treated blued steel for the body, which provides a durable shell resistant to dents and deformation under heavy use. The follower lockplate and baseplate are molded from a proprietary DuPont Zytel-based polymer, offering impact resistance while keeping weight reasonable. The Chromesilicon spring is specified and heat-treated, a detail that improves longevity and consistent feeding—critical for both practice and high-stress defensive use. At an overall length of 9 inches, this magazine extends grip profile and capacity while remaining compact enough for practical carry in larger pistols.

Compatibility and Fit

Built specifically for Springfield Armory Inc. XD pistols in 9mm, this PROMAG magazine is not compatible with XDM pistols—double-check your model before purchasing. The product is listed under model “Various,” reflecting fitment across multiple XD variants; still, verify slide-to-frame and magazine catch engagement on your specific pistol. Price is $24.99, offering a cost-effective capacity upgrade for XD owners. View product details and pricing

Performance, Use Cases, and Best Practices

Chambered for 9mm, this extended magazine supports the most common defensive and range caliber, balancing controllable recoil with effective terminal performance for self-defense and economical practice rounds at the range. Extended 32-round capacity is advantageous for drills, competition-style training, and scenarios where fewer reloads improve focus. As with any extended magazine, practice loading, clearance, and manipulation drills to ensure reliable indexing and safe handling. Use factory or well-known aftermarket ammunition and inspect the Chromesilicon spring and feedlips regularly for wear.
