Currently available in 9mm only, MOD.3 comes in a standard size or a reduced capacity model for states with limited magazine bans. Every MOD.3 comes with the Springfield OSP optic plate system to allow for a wide range of red dot mounting options including RMR, Delta Point Pro, and Docter footprints.

Steel sights, MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail for light mounting, grip safety, loaded chamber indicator, striker status indicator, and a flat face trigger round out the complete package of the new MOD.3.

The MOD.3 also sports a new frame with upgraded heavy texturing to provide enhanced gripping area and surface. Along the same note, the slide now features improved serrations on both the front and rear of the slide. Not only does this make racking the pistol easier but also works well with the optics mounting to provide a good grip no matter what.

4” barrel with a 16+1 capasity. The MOD.3 is fully compatible with XD and XD MOD.2 16-round magazines and extended magazines.

“The new XD Mod.3 offers shooters a modern and enhanced take on this proven 9mm pistol platform,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “With optics capability, improved ergonomics and a very impressive price point, this 9mm deserves a very close look.”

MSRP for both models is $325
