Overview

Springfield Armory designed the XD Defend Your Legacy Series to honor the tradition of personal defense with modern manufacturing precision.

The 10-round model ensures compliance without compromising the grip length or magazine well geometry. This pistol operates on a short-recoil, locked-breech system with a striker-fired action, delivering a consistent trigger pull of approximately 5.5 to 6.5 pounds. The overall length measures 7.3 inches, with a height of 5.5 inches and an unloaded weight of 26 ounces. Each unit ships with two 10-round magazines, a paddle holster, magazine loader, and a lockable hard case.

Who It Is For

This pistol is intended for California residents seeking a full-size service handgun with a 10-round capacity limit. It suits responsible gun owners who prioritize mechanical reliability, consistent trigger control, and ergonomic fit over compact size. The 4.0-inch barrel provides a balance between concealability and sight radius, making it appropriate for home defense, recreational target shooting, and defensive training courses. Law enforcement professionals and armed security personnel operating under capacity restrictions will find the 10-round model meets departmental or jurisdictional requirements while maintaining the same grip dimensions as standard-capacity variants. The interchangeable backstraps allow shooters with small to large hands to achieve a proper grip angle, reducing muzzle flip during rapid fire. This model is not optimized for deep concealment due to its full-size frame, but it performs well in open carry, range use, and nightstand roles.
