First Look: Springfield XD Mod.3 OSP

0

We take a quick look at the enhanced and upgraded features of Springfield’s new XD Mod.3 OSP.

Springfield Armory is continuing to expand on its popular XD line of defensive pistols, and the latest addition to the lineup is the XD Mod.3 OSP. Featuring several upgrades and enhancements over the previous iteration, the Mod.3 has a lot to offer at an affordable price point.

Sporting a 4-inch Melonite finished barrel, the Springfield XD Mod.3 OSP is still a polymer-framed, striker-fired, compact 9mm defensive pistol, but it has some new tricks up its sleeve as well. Firstly, as an OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) model, its slide comes ready to accept a variety of OSP optic plates. These plates are available with DeltaPoint Pro, RMR and Docter footprints for mounting a compatible red dot of your choice. The iron sights have been upgraded too, as they now feature a white dot rear sight with a red fiber optic front sight. As for ergonomic enhancements, the Mod.3 features forward and rear slide serrations, an undercut trigger guard, an extended beavertail and aggressive texturing throughout the gun. The pistol also features a flat-faced trigger, a flared rear slide cut for easier manipulation and a memory bump on the grip safety to help facilitate a consistent grip.

The XD Mod.3 OSP has a standard magazine capacity of 16 rounds (ships with one), but a model with a 10-round mag is available as well for those who live in restrictive states. The pistol also has a loaded chamber indicator, a striker-status indicator and an accessory rail for mounting a light or laser.

Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory, said this about the new gun:

The new XD Mod.3 offers shooters a modern and enhanced take on this proven 9mm pistol platform … With optics capability, improved ergonomics and a very impressive price point, this 9mm deserves a very close look.

The Springfield XD Mod.3 OSP is available now and the MSRP is $325 for both versions.
