Overview

The Springfield Armory XDM series is recognized for its precision engineering and advanced safety features. The 3.8 model specifically bridges the gap between concealed carry dimensions and full-size performance. With a black Melonite finish on a forged steel slide and a polymer frame with interchangeable backstraps, this springfield xdm 3.8 40 s&w full-size black pistol is built to withstand heavy use while maintaining a comfortable grip for various hand sizes. The barrel is hammer-forged and features a target crown for improved accuracy.
