The XD set the bar for polymer pistols. It redefined the industry standard for superior ergonomic comfort, ease of operation, features and performance in one fell swoop. The grip safety, Ultra Safety Assurance (USA) Action Trigger System, and the firing pin block safety combine to make this an undeniably safe defensive tool. The XD is built on a foundation of rock-solid durability and performance. It achieves this through the use of a forged slide and hammer-forged barrel, ensuring a long life and rugged reliability. A Melonite finish ensures that the pistol can resist the elements in the most unforgiving environments, and the slide is topped off with a tough set of steel white dot sights. If you're looking for a solid handgun for duty, concealed carry, or self-defense at a price point you can respect, the legend awaits. The Sub-Compact combines a rugged black polymer frame with an attractive forged stainless steel slide and a 10-round magazine. At a mere 1.2" wide and weighing only 26 oz., you can tote the XD Sub-Compact comfortably underneath shorts and a t-shirt. Safe, capable, and accurate, this is a compact capable of serious protection.
