Springfield XD 45ACP Service Model Black with Thumb Safety

About this product

<h1>Springfield XD 45ACP Service Model Black with Thumb Safety</h1> <p>When you need a full-size .45 that balances rugged duty performance with everyday manageability, the Springfield XD 45ACP Service Model Black with Thumb Safety earns its place in your holster. This is the striker-fired workhorse that Springfield Armory built for shooters who want the stopping power of .45 ACP without the bulk of a full steel frame. Whether you are a seasoned shooter looking for a reliable range companion or a concealed carrier stepping up to a larger caliber, this model brings a confident grip, a crisp trigger, and an added layer of control with the ambidextrous thumb safety.</p> <h2>Overview</h2> <p>The Springfield XD 45ACP Service Model Black with Thumb Safety is a polymer-framed, striker-fired pistol chambered in .45 ACP with a 4-inch barrel. It features a black Melonite finish on the slide for corrosion resistance and a textured grip that locks into your hand without being abrasive. The addition of the ambidextrous thumb safety gives you an extra mechanical barrier, making it a strong choice for those who prefer a manual safety on their defensive pistol. With a standard magazine capacity of 13+1 rounds, this service model offers serious firepower in a package that handles surprisingly flat for a .45.</p> <h2>Features &amp; Specs</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Caliber and Capacity:</strong> .45 ACP with a 13+1 round magazine capacity. The double-stack design provides ample ammunition without making the grip uncomfortably wide.</li> <li><strong>Barrel and Finish:</strong> 4-inch hammer-forged steel barrel with a Melonite finish. The barrel is supported by a full-length guide rod for consistent cycling and reduced muzzle flip.</li> <li><strong>Thumb Safety:</strong> Ambidextrous thumb safety positioned for easy activation without breaking your grip. This allows you to carry condition one (cocked and locked) if that is your preferred method.</li> </ul> <p>The Springfield XD 45ACP Service Model Black with Thumb Safety also includes the iconic grip safety, a loaded chamber indicator, and a striker status indicator. The trigger pull is consistent at around 5.5 to 6.5 pounds with a tactile reset that makes follow-up shots predictable. The dovetailed front and rear sights are low-profile and easily replaceable if you prefer night sights or fiber optics.</p> <h2>Who It's For</h2> <p>This Springfield XD 45ACP Service Model Black with Thumb Safety is designed for the shooter who values the .45 ACP round but does not want to sacrifice capacity or modern ergonomics. It fits well for home defense, duty use, and competitive shooting in divisions that allow single-action-style pistols with a safety. The thumb safety version appeals particularly to those transitioning from a 1911 platform who are accustomed to a manual safety as part of their draw stroke. It is also an excellent choice for shooters who want one pistol that can serve as a nightstand gun and a range tool without needing a separate holster setup for safety-on carry.</p> <h2>Shipping &amp; FFL</h2> <p>Because this Springfield XD 45ACP Service Model Black with Thumb Safety is a firearm, it will ship to a licensed Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer in your area.
