Springfield Armory XD-9 Sub-Compact Gen 1 9mm, 3-Inch Barrel, Melonite Black, 16+1
This first-generation Springfield Armory XD-9 Sub-Compact offers the compact size buyers want with the proven Croatian HS2000 lineage. A forged, hammer-forged Melonite-treated barrel, matching serial numbers on slide, barrel, and frame, and an uncommon grip safety for a polymer striker pistol make this example stand out. Its single 16-round magazine with X-Tension sleeve delivers duty-length capacity in a carry-length package.

What’s Included
- Springfield Armory stainless-steel 16-round magazine with XD Gear X-Tension sleeve
The XD-9 Sub-Compact Gen 1 keeps overall length short while retaining a full-hand grip thanks to its removable X-Tension magazine sleeve. This makes it easy to carry without sacrificing capacity.
Its 3-inch forged carbon-steel barrel is hammer-forged and Melonite-treated, offering durability and corrosion resistance comparable to duty-sized models. The Melonite black slide matches the barrel treatment for consistent wear protection.
Springfield’s grip safety, bladed trigger safety, striker status indicator, and loaded-chamber indicator provide multiple passive safeguards without adding manual levers. These features remain uncommon among polymer striker-fired pistols in this size class.
Wide rear cocking serrations, fixed three-dot sights, and an integral single-slot accessory rail round out a feature set that balances concealability with practical shooting and carry advantages.
