Springfield XD Mod.2 45 ACP 5-Inch Tactical Black 10-Round Model With GripZone

The Springfield XD Mod.2 45 ACP 5-Inch Tactical Black 10-Round Model with GripZone represents a deliberate engineering response to the demand for a full-size, high-capacity defensive pistol chambered in .45 ACP. This model combines the proven reliability of the XD platform with the advanced ergonomics of the GripZone texture system. For California purchasers, this specific SKU adheres to the state’s 10-round magazine capacity limit while delivering the terminal performance of the .45 ACP cartridge. The 5-inch barrel provides an extended sight radius and increased muzzle velocity, making this a precision-oriented firearm suitable for range training and home defense applications.

Overview

The 5-inch Tactical Black variant of the springfield xd mod.2 45 acp 5-inch tactical black 10-round model with gripzone features a forged carbon steel slide with a Melonite finish, reducing corrosion and maintaining dimensional stability under sustained firing.

The loaded chamber indicator and grip safety remain standard, offering visual and mechanical safety redundancies. This model ships with two 10-round magazines compatible with California’s capacity regulations.
