Overview

The Defend Your Legacy Series represents Springfield Armory’s commitment to producing duty-grade firearms for personal protection. This sub-compact variant retains the full-size XD’s internal safety features—including a grip safety, trigger safety, and striker status indicator—while reducing overall dimensions for concealed carry. The 10-round model provides a low-profile magazine that fits flush with the frame, minimizing printing without sacrificing grip length. The slide features a loaded chamber indicator and a cocked striker indicator, giving the user immediate visual and tactile confirmation of the weapon’s status. This pistol is optics-ready, with a milled slide and cover plate system that allows for direct mounting of popular miniature red dot sights without the need for adapter plates.
