Built on the proven XD platform by Springfield Armory, this full-size 9mm pistol is engineered for shooters who demand consistent performance, intuitive handling, and adherence to California’s roster of approved handguns. The polymer frame and black Melonite finish provide a durable, corrosion-resistant platform suited for range training, home defense, or service use.

Overview

The Springfield XD 9mm Service Model Black California Compliant is a striker-fired, semi-automatic handgun designed for shooters who require a no-compromise defensive firearm. The XD series is recognized for its ergonomic grip angle, ambidextrous magazine release, and a grip safety that adds an extra layer of secure handling. This California-compliant variant maintains all the core features of the standard Service Model, including the loaded chamber indicator, striker status indicator, and a trigger safety mechanism. The black finish on the slide and barrel is achieved through Springfield Armory’s Melonite process, which hardens the metal surface to resist wear and environmental exposure. The pistol ships with one 10-round magazine and a paddle-style holster, making it ready for immediate use upon transfer.
