Engineered for shooters who refuse to compromise on ergonomics or caliber, this polymer-framed pistol marries Springfield Armory’s proven reliability with the potent .40 S&W cartridge.

Overview

The Springfield Mod.2 40 S&W Sub-Compact Bi-Tone with GripZone (Compliant) is a purpose-built defensive handgun that prioritizes control without sacrificing concealability. Chambered in .40 S&W, this sub-compact packs proven terminal ballistics into a 3-inch barrel platform. The bi-tone finish—a corrosion-resistant stainless slide over a textured black polymer frame—enhances durability and reduces print under clothing. Springfield’s GripZone technology wraps the frame with aggressive, directional texturing that locks your hand into a consistent firing grip, even under stress or wet conditions. This compliant model ships with 9-round magazines and meets state-specific capacity restrictions, making it a versatile choice for shooters nationwide.

Features & Specs

Springfield Armory designed the XD Mod.2 series to address the most common shooter complaints about sub-compact pistols: snappy recoil and poor grip security. The springfield mod.2 40 s&w sub-compact bi-tone with gripzone (compliant) solves both with a suite of integrated engineering choices. Key specifications include:

• Caliber: .40 S&W; Barrel Length: 3 inches; Overall Length: 6.25 inches; Weight: 24 ounces unloaded; Capacity: 9+1 rounds (compliant magazine).
• Slide: Forged stainless steel with Melonite finish; Frame: Black polymer with GripZone texturing; Sights: Steel 3-dot combat sights with a low-profile carrier.
• Action: Striker-fired with a consistent 5.5-6.0 pound trigger pull; Safety: Grip safety, trigger safety, and loaded chamber indicator; Recoil system: Captive dual-spring guide rod for reduced muzzle flip.

Additional features that distinguish this model:

• GripZone texturing covers the frontstrap, backstrap, and both side panels with a directional pattern that prevents hand shift during rapid fire.
• Sub-compact geometry with a flush-fit 9-round magazine and a pinky-extension floorplate for a full three-finger grip.
• Compliant configuration includes a pinned or limited-capacity magazine and no threaded barrel, ensuring legality in states with restrictive firearms laws.

The result is a pistol that recoils with the predictability of a larger frame, allowing faster follow-up shots and greater accuracy at defensive distances.

Who It’s For

The springfield mod.2 40 s&w sub-compact bi-tone with gripzone (compliant) is built for the armed citizen who needs a reliable daily carry firearm that can perform under adverse conditions.

Law enforcement officers seeking an off-duty backup piece or plainclothes carry option will appreciate the GripZone’s retention under movement. This model is also ideal for residents of states with magazine capacity limits who want a factory-compliant solution without aftermarket modifications.
