Springfield Xdm 40 S&W 4 5 Full Size Black Essentials Package

About this product

The Springfield XD(M) in .40 S&W with a 4.5-inch full-size barrel is one of Springfield's longest-running striker-fired platforms, and this Essentials Package bundles the pistol with the accessories most owners buy separately anyway. It's a full-size duty and range pistol built for shooters who specifically want .40 S&W's ballistics in a proven, well-supported platform.

What comes in the Essentials Package?

Beyond the pistol itself, the Essentials Package includes two full-size magazines, three interchangeable backstraps for dialing in grip circumference to your hand size, a cable lock, and a bore brush for basic cleaning — essentially the core accessories a new owner would otherwise need to buy separately, bundled at the package price. That makes it a genuinely practical starting point for a first XD(M) purchase rather than just the pistol on its own.

What are the full specs?

Chambered in .40 S&W, this full-size XD(M) holds 16 rounds per magazine, with a 4.5-inch forged steel barrel and slide over a polymer frame, an overall length of 7.6 inches, a height of 5.75 inches, a width of 1.3 inches, and an empty weight of 30 ounces. It uses a one-piece full-length guide rod for consistent recoil spring performance and low-profile combat rear sights designed for a clean draw from a holster. The three interchangeable backstraps included in the package let shooters with smaller or larger hands than average fine-tune the grip without any aftermarket grip work.

Who is this pistol built for?

This package suits shooters who specifically want .40 S&W in a full-size duty-style pistol, along with first-time XD(M) buyers who want the core accessories bundled in from the start rather than purchasing them piecemeal. It's a strong choice for home defense and range use, and the higher 16-round capacity keeps it competitive with 9mm pistols of similar size despite the larger-diameter cartridge.

Because this is a firearm, it cannot ship to your home address. It transfers to a licensed FFL dealer near you, where you will complete a background check and the required paperwork in person before taking possession. California maintains its own certified handgun roster and a 10-round magazine capacity limit; buyers should confirm current roster status and available compliant magazine configurations for this model with their FFL before ordering, since the included 16-round magazines exceed the state limit.

The XD(M) platform has been in continuous production long enough that holsters, magazines, and aftermarket parts are widely available from nearly every major accessory maker, which is a real practical advantage over a newer or less established pistol line when it comes time to build out a complete carry or duty setup. Springfield's grip safety, standard across the XD and XD(M) lines, also adds a passive layer of drop safety that some shooters specifically look for in a striker-fired defensive pistol.

The forged steel barrel and slide, rather than the metal injection molded components some competing budget pistols use, are part of why the XD(M) line has developed a reputation for holding up to heavy range use over years of ownership. For a buyer choosing between calibers, .40 S&W in a full-size platform like this one remains a genuinely capable option for both home defense and general range shooting, with the 16-round capacity narrowing the practical gap against similarly sized 9mm pistols.

Because the Essentials Package bundles accessories a new owner would need anyway, it also tends to represent better overall value than buying the bare pistol and then separately purchasing magazines, a cable lock, and a cleaning brush piecemeal from different sources.
