Overview

The Springfield XDM 40 S&W 4.5 Full-Size Black Essentials Package is a striker-fired, polymer-framed pistol built on Springfield Armory’s proven XDM platform. This full-size variant features a 16-round magazine capacity and a black Melonite finish on the slide for corrosion resistance. The “Essentials” designation means you receive the pistol, two magazines, a cable lock, and a hard case—everything required for immediate use without the extra accessories found in the full package. This setup keeps the price accessible while maintaining the same high-performance trigger, barrel, and frame as the standard XDM models.
