The Springfield Armory XD Mod.3 OSP 9mm pistol offers enhancements and upgrades designed to take the proven design to the next level — and all at an MSRP of just $325.
The pistol’s hammer-forged, Melonite®-finished slide features a factory-milled OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) cut designed to accept a wide variety of popular red dot optics. OSP plates, available for purchase from the Springfield Armory Store, allow for easy customization to fit RMR, DeltaPoint Pro and Docter footprints.
In addition, the slide features a set of rugged steel sights with a high-visibility red fiber optic front sight paired with a white dot rear sight. Enhanced slide serrations both fore and aft offer improved grip in adverse conditions, while a flared cut at the rear provides additional purchase for easy manipulation.
The XD Mod.3 also features a visual and tactile loaded chamber indicator located atop the slide and a striker-status indicator on the slide’s rear face, which adds an additional layer of security.
The frame of the XD Mod.3 features aggressive texturing strategically placed on the most important contact points. An undercut trigger guard and extended beavertail allow for a high-hand position for superior control, working in concert with the texturing to ensure superior control.
An accessory rail on the dustcover allows the user to fit a wide range of accessories, and the pistol ships with a 16-round stainless steel magazine. A 10-round version for restricted locales is also offered.
