Springfield Armory XD9401 Tactical: Purpose-Built Defense
The XD Tactical represents Springfield Armory's commitment to delivering a service-grade defensive pistol that excels in accuracy, control, and reliability. This 5-inch model is specifically engineered for shooters in restrictive jurisdictions, offering the ballistic advantages of a longer sight radius without compromise.
Design and Safety
The XD platform redefined modern pistol ergonomics. Three independent safety systems work in concert:
- Grip Safety: Prevents accidental discharge during handling or holstering

The grip angle and texture were meticulously refined for natural point-of-aim and secure control, even under stress.
