Overview

Springfield Armory designed the XDM series to bridge the gap between compact carry and full-size service pistols. The springfield xdm 3.8 40 s&w full-size black pistol features a forged steel slide with a black Melonite finish, a match-grade barrel, and a high-strength polymer frame with an integral Picatinny rail for mounting lights or lasers. The 3.8-inch barrel reduces overall length compared to a 4.5-inch model while maintaining a full-size grip for maximum magazine capacity. This pistol ships with two 16-round magazines and a paddle-style holster.

Features & Specs

• Action and Caliber: Striker-fired semi-automatic chambered in .40 S&W; 3.8-inch hammer-forged steel barrel with a 1:16 twist rate for consistent accuracy.
• Capacity and Controls: Two 16-round stainless steel magazines with a low-friction coating; ambidextrous slide stop and magazine release for left- or right-handed operation.
• Safety System: Springfield Armory’s Ultra Safety Assurance (USA) trigger system with a pre-travel trigger safety, striker block, and a grip safety that prevents discharge unless properly held.

Additional specifications include a fixed 3-dot white sight system, a forged steel slide with cocking serrations front and rear, and an overall weight of 27.5 ounces unloaded. The black polymer frame uses a textured grip insert with interchangeable backstraps to fit different hand sizes. Overall length is 7.1 inches with a height of 5.5 inches.

Who It Is For

This pistol is built for the shooter who wants a full-size frame with a slightly shorter slide for faster target reacquisition and easier concealment under a jacket or duty coat. It suits law enforcement officers, security professionals, and civilian firearm owners who train regularly and demand a springfield xdm 3.8 40 s&w full-size black pistol that performs under stress. The .40 S&W cartridge offers significant stopping power, making it a practical choice for those who prioritize terminal performance over magazine capacity in 9mm. If you are comfortable with a service-sized grip and prefer a slide that balances speed and sight radius, this model delivers on both fronts.
