Overview

The Springfield XDM 40 S&W 3.8 Compact Bi-Tone Compliant Essentials Package is a striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol chambered in .40 S&W. It features a 3.8-inch hammer-forged steel barrel with a corrosion-resistant Melonite finish, paired with a lightweight polymer frame in black and a stainless steel slide. The Essentials Package ships with two 10-round magazines, a paddle holster, double magazine pouch, and a cable lock — all compliant with California law. This model retains the full XDM feature set, including the grip safety, loaded chamber indicator, and a trigger safety, in a compact frame optimized for everyday carry.

Features & Specs

This package is built around the core XDM design, offering consistent performance and user-friendly controls. The 3.8-inch barrel balances concealability with sight radius, and the .40 S&W chambering provides solid stopping power. Key specifications include an overall length of 7.0 inches, a height of 5.1 inches, and an unloaded weight of approximately 27 ounces. The bi-tone finish combines a black polymer frame with a natural stainless steel slide for low-glare durability. The barrel and slide use Springfield’s Melonite treatment for enhanced wear and corrosion resistance.

• Caliber: .40 S&W; barrel length: 3.8 inches; overall length: 7.0 inches; height: 5.1 inches; weight: 27 ounces (unloaded)
• Finish: Bi-tone — black polymer frame with stainless steel slide; Melonite barrel finish
• Includes: Two 10-round magazines, paddle holster, double magazine pouch, cable lock, and hard case

The Essentials Package is specifically configured for California compliance, meaning no standard-capacity magazines are included. The 10-round magazines ensure you stay within state magazine capacity limits while still benefiting from the XDM’s reliable feeding and ejection. The grip safety and loaded chamber indicator add passive safety layers without complicating the draw stroke.

Who It’s For

The Springfield XDM 40 S&W 3.8 Compact Bi-Tone Compliant Essentials Package is designed for California residents who want a full-featured handgun without the hassle of aftermarket modifications. It suits civilian shooters looking for a reliable defensive firearm for concealed carry, home protection, or range training. The compact slide and grip make it manageable for shooters with smaller hands, while the .40 S&W caliber offers a balance of capacity and power. Because this package ships with compliant accessories and low-capacity magazines, it is ready for legal transfer in California without requiring dealer modification.

• California residents seeking a factory-compliant defensive handgun with no modification needed
• Concealed carry applicants who need a compact .40 S&W with a 3.8-inch barrel and 10-round magazine limit
