Springfield Armory XD

=Springfield Armory XD=
The Springfield Armory XD pistol series began as a Croatian polymer framed pistol designed in 1999 called the PHP. After that the design bureau led by Marko Vuković began improving upon their initial design, starting with the HS95 (in 1995) and the HS2000 (in 2000). The HS2000 was previously imported into the US as the Croatian HS2000 by Intrac/HSAmerica in 2000. Later, in 2002, Springfield Armory began importing the pistol under license and renamed the pistol the XD (for X-treme Duty). The original Croatian design was adopted as the standard service sidearm of the Croatian Military.

=Springfield Armory XDᴹ=
The Springfield Armory XDᴹ ("M" stands for the match grade barrel and trigger) is an improved version of the Springfield Armory XD. The most noticeable differences between the previous XD models besides the cosmetic and ergonomic changes are the XDᴹ's interchangeable back-straps and match-grade barrel. Unlike the previous generation of XD handguns, the XDᴹ does not require pulling the trigger to disassemble the gun, making field stripping safer and faster. The XDᴹ series of pistols won Handgun of the Year from American Rifleman in 2009.
The first XDᴹ was produced in .40 S&W, soon followed by the 9x19mm and .45 ACP versions. The XDᴹ was also produced in subcompact versions, in .40 S&W and 9x19mm. A competition series XDᴹ was produced in 9x19mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP with a 5.25" barrel, remotely resembling the 5" tactical XD pistols. The 5.25 models were designed specifically with USPSA competition shooting and feature a longer slide, barrel and sight radius, a blacked-out rear sight and a fiber-optic front sight. A 22-round competition magazine was also designed for USPSA, which was later offered as a factory option for the XDᴹ Elite. StormLake (based in Tennessee) produces a .357 SIG barrel for the XDᴹ-40. In 2018, Springfield introduced that the XDᴹ was now offered in the powerful 10mm Auto chambering. That same year, Springfield introduced the XDᴹ OSP (Optical Sight Pistol), featuring a factory milled optics-ready slide. Springfield continues to make XDᴹs in the OSP configuration to this day.
In 2020, Springfield Armory introduced the XDᴹ Elite series with a slew of improvements. These included an ambidextrous slide stop, wider and deeper slide serrations, new sights with a cup rear sight and a fiber-optic front sight, a longer and more aggressive grip safety and an extended magazine with a removable larger magazine well. The XDᴹ Elite also incorporated a new trigger system called the META (Match Enhanced Trigger Assembly), which incorporated an integral trigger overtravel stop, as well as a flat face on the trigger for increased accuracy. Some other improvements only available on certain models included a removable red dot optic plate, flat dark earth tan frame, suppressor height sights and a threaded barrel. The original XDᴹ models were discontinued in 2021 so Springfield could focus on the XDᴹ Elite. With the exception of California compliant models, the 9mm XDᴹ Elite was discontinued in 2023 so the company could devote more focus to the Echelon line. However, Springfield is still making the XDᴹ Elite in 10mm.

=Springfield Armory XD Mod.2=
Introduced in 2014, the Springfield Armory XD Mod.2 was intended to be an improvement on the original XD line. The Mod.2 series was available in Subcompact, Service and Tactical lengths, and also offered factory options such as a threaded barrel or a FDE tan frame. The XDᴹ had been out for almost a decade by the time the Mod.2 was introduced, and it may be hard to understand why the Mod.2 was designed at all. However, the XDᴹ is a completely redesigned match version of the XD, while the Mod.2 was Springfield's attempt to improve the older XD line with improved ergonomics, sights and options. However, the Mod.2 did not incorporate some improvements from the XDᴹ, such as interchangeable backstraps or higher-capacity magazines (the Mod.2 takes standard XD mags). The primary improvements of the Mod.2 series are redesigned, wider slide serrations, longer thumb rests, a slimmer and streamlined shape for easier drawing, a red fiber optic front sight, a low-profile steel wedge rear sight, a rounded and undercut trigger guard and, like the XDᴹ, a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny Rail for mounting accessories such as lights. However, by far the biggest change on the Mod.2 line was an enhanced grip texture with various "Grip Zones" designed around the shape of the human hand. The Grip Zone was intended to hold the pistol in place with the increased traction of the textures, reducing the amount of pressure the shooter needs to apply onto the frame, and allowing for flatter shooting. The XD Mod.2 is also the only XD with slight finger grooves, one of three "zones" for better ergonomic comfort, this front strap is "zone 1", and has medium grip texture to keep the hand on the gun but not be too aggressive on the more sensitive parts of the hand. "Zone 2" is on the back strap and sides, with the most aggressive texture being where the most grip on the pistol is needed. "Zone 3" covers all other areas of the frame that only have a slight texture to supplement the performance of the other two zones while still being comfortable. In spite of a heavy marketing campaign to stir up interest in the new design, the Mod.2 did receive widespread attention, but in a different way than Springfield hoped: "Grip Zone" quickly became an internet meme due to people (incorrectly) assuming that the meaning of the term was to instruct the user where to grip the pistol. At one point, Team Springfield's own competitive shooter Rob Leatham made a humorous video poking fun at the now-infamous slogan. However, the bad press would not go away, which Springfield attempted to rectify by removing the "Grip Zone" logo from the design, but the damage had been done. The brand never fully recovered from the initial bad press and the Mod.2 series was discontinued a few years later in 2020. However, the Mod.2 frame design (albeit without "Grip Zone") is still being used on the remaining XDS pistols. In 2024, the XD Mod.3 was introduced. The Mod.3 design is essentially an XD Mod.2 with an optics cut and more aggressive slide serrations and the trigger and grip safety of the XDᴹ Elite series.

=Springfield Armory XDS=
The Springfield Armory XDS is a single stack variant of the XD intended for concealed carry or for those who prefer a smaller grip diameter. Originally it was released with a 3.3" barrel, but in 2014 a version with a 4" barrel was introduced. Extended magazines are available that increase the capacity by two rounds (for both the 9x19mm and .45 ACP models), which are normally used with a grip sleeve called an "X-Tension". In addition to the different size and magazine dimensions, the XDS features further improvements on the design, such as more aggressive developments on the XDᴹ grip texture, elimination of the striker retaining pin and allowing the user to rack the slide without depressing the grip safety. The XDS was also offered in .40 S&W but this has now been discontinued. The XDS currently uses the Mod.2 design for the frame, being the only Mod.2 design left in production.
