Why We’re Stocking This
We handle every gun that comes into our shop, and the decision to bring in the Springfield Armory XD Mod.4 OSP was an easy one. Our customers are practical. They want value, but they won’t compromise on proven performance. The XD series has a long track record of reliability—it’s a platform we’ve seen perform year after year. The Mod.4 OSP takes that solid foundation and adds the one feature everyone is asking for: a factory-milled slide. No more sending your slide out for costly machining or dealing with adapter plates that sit too high. Springfield did it right from the start, and at $399 MSRP, it brings a quality optics-ready pistol into a price range that makes sense for a first-time buyer or a seasoned shooter adding another tool to the collection.
In our hands, the grip texture and ergonomics feel like a direct response to shooter feedback. It gives you that locked-in feel without being abrasive, and the extended beavertail lets you get your hand high on the frame for better control. This is a gun built to be used, not just admired. We’re stocking the Springfield Armory XD Mod.4 OSP 9mm because it represents exactly what we stand for: quality firearms for every shooter. It delivers modern capability on a budget, without cutting corners where it counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What optics plates are included with the Springfield Armory XD Mod.4 OSP 9mm?
A: Springfield Armory typically uses a plate system that accommodates popular footprints like the Shield RMSc and the Holosun K-series. The specific plates included in the box should be confirmed at purchase, but the milled slide is designed for a secure, low-profile mount using their proprietary plate system. We can help you match the correct plate to your chosen micro red dot here in the shop.
Q: Is the trigger different from previous XD models?
A: The focus of the XD Mod.4 OSP 9mm is on the optics-ready slide and enhanced ergonomics. The trigger itself maintains the consistent, recognizable feel of the standard XD series—a clean-breaking striker-fired action with a tactile reset. The key upgrade is the trigger guard and extended beavertail, which are designed to promote a higher, more controlled grip for improved shooting mechanics.
Q: Can this pistol be used for everyday concealed carry?
A: Absolutely. The Springfield Armory XD Mod.4 OSP 9mm is built on a compact, service-pistol-sized frame that is a proven carry platform. The addition of an optic can actually speed up target acquisition. With a good holster that accommodates the optic, the XD Mod.4 OSP makes for a very capable and modern carry piece. We always recommend thorough training with any firearm you plan to carry.
