Why We’re Stocking This

We handle every gun that comes through our shop, and our decision to stock the Springfield Armory XD Mod.4 OSP 9mm was an easy one. The original XD series built a reputation on rugged reliability, and this new Mod.4 iteration takes that solid foundation and adds the modern feature that matters most right now: a factory-cut slide for optics. We’ve had too many customers come in with a great pistol they love, but who then face the cost and hassle of sending the slide out for milling. Springfield Armory has solved that problem from the factory, and at a price point that makes it accessible. This is a complete, ready-to-go package for both iron sight purists and red dot adopters.

Beyond the optics cut, the physical feel of this gun in hand is what sold us. The undercut trigger guard and extended beavertail aren’t just marketing terms—they force your hand up high on the frame, locking the pistol into your grip and giving you immediate, superior control over the muzzle. The texturing is aggressive where it needs to be, providing confident manipulation whether your hands are dry, wet, or sweaty. For a shop like ours that serves everyone from first-time buyers to seasoned competitors, the Springfield Armory XD Mod.4 OSP represents a rare trifecta: proven reliability, modern features, and exceptional value. It’s a workhorse, not a show pony, and that’s exactly the kind of firearm we want on our shelves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What optics plates are included with the Springfield Armory XD Mod.4 OSP?

A: Springfield Armory typically uses a multi-plate system that accommodates footprints like the Shield RMSc, Hex Dragonfly, and other popular micro red dots. The specific plates included in the box will be confirmed as we receive the pistols, but the system is designed for broad compatibility. We’ll have compatible optics and plates available here at the shop.

Q: Is the trigger on this new Mod.4 different from previous XD models?

A: While the core, proven striker-fired action remains, the focus on the XD Mod.4 OSP is on the ergonomic upgrades that affect control—namely the high-hand grip enabled by the undercut trigger guard and beavertail. This setup allows for a more natural, downward press on the trigger, which often leads to shooters reporting a smoother, more controlled feel, even if the trigger mechanism itself is similar to the reliable system you already know.

Q: Can I still use iron sights if I mount an optic on the XD Mod.4 OSP?

A: Yes. The factory milling for the optic is designed to co-witness with the existing iron sights. When you install an optic using the correct plate, you will retain a lower-third co-witness through the optic window, giving you a backup aiming system. It’s a well-thought-out setup that doesn’t force you to choose one system over the other.
