Overview

The .40 S&W chambering offers a higher energy round than 9mm, with manageable recoil thanks to the pistol’s full-size grip and integral recoil management system. The black finish on the slide and frame provides a low-profile, durable appearance that resists wear. This is a production-grade firearm built for consistent operation under a variety of conditions.

When you handle the springfield xdm 3.8 40 s&w full-size black pistol, the first thing you notice is the ergonomic grip texture and the natural point of aim. The 3.8-inch barrel keeps the overall length manageable, while the full-size frame accommodates a 16-round magazine capacity. This combination makes the XDM 3.8 a versatile option that does not sacrifice capacity for concealability.
