One perhaps disappointing feature about the new XD-S MOD.2 OSP is the decision of Springfield to no longer include a foam padded plastic case with their XD-S models. Springfield’s XD-S MOD.2 line was introduced back in 2018 and James Reeves did a great review on the pistol which eliminated the infamous (or famous) GRIP ZONE markings on the side of the frame of the pistol and the new XD-S MOD.2 OSP has kept this aesthetic decision. Nearly every major manufacturer including Springfield Armory had an offering and overall every single one of those options was a quality one that offered you a reliable, and slim EDC option. Only 4 years ago, the single stack 9mm market was completely oversaturated with options much like the micro-compact 9mm market is today.

Well with the introduction of modern micro-compact 9mm pistols, there really hasn’t been a need for me to pick up a compact single-stack 9mm in a long time but I had the feeling that many people still probably preferred their older single-stack 9mm pistols and might want to have carry-optics capabilities but keep largely the same gun. I was able to receive a copy of the Springfield XD-S MOD.2 OSP pistol in 9mm and in their 4-inch barrel configuration and with this review, I wanted to set out into a realm of handgun performance I hadn’t really spent all that much time with in the last couple of years. Springfield Armory recently introduces new optics-ready versions of their XD-S MOD.2 pistols in an effort to meet the demands of modern concealed carriers. Like I mentioned before, the XD-9 is a little fat which makes it bulge out a little bit, but otherwise, this pistol is ready to go for concealed carry.The single stack 9mm market hasn’t completely gone to the wayside yet. I carried this 9mm around for a little and it wasn’t bad! Not nearly as comfortable as my subcompacts, but perfectly serviceable. I don’t usually expect much from striker-fired guns and the XD-9 is just another pistol with a mediocre trigger. Definitely one of my least favorite things about this gun. Instead of shooting directly where the sights line up, shots land a little above.

The accuracy was on point too, although I really hate how to sights are set up. Despite my feelings about Springfield Armory, I can’t deny the XD’s excellent performance. I’d attribute that to the recoil system and larger slide. Everything feels smooth and recoil isn’t bad at all. I can usually take or leave safety features when it comes to pistols, but you’ll also have a loaded chamber indicator as well as a striker status indicator.Īll told, the XD shoots pretty dang good.
The XD-9 comes with a noninvasive grip safety. Slide serrations are present on the rear slide and little more than a fancy visual on the front side. I prefer my guns with aggressive grip texturing. The rear and front grips are alright, but there’s minimal grip on the sides. Overall the pistol just looks a little fat. The slide is a little bit too tall for my taste. The Springfield XD is a remarkably boxy-looking firearm. Does Springfield Armory beat them with the XD-9? Their main competitors are Glock and Sig Sauer. Although Springfield has a shaky record of supporting the 2nd Amendment, they do have some great, high-quality firearms.
