The XD 3" Sub-Compact from Springfield Armory is designed to bring you the most in a concealed carry pistol. Its superior ergonomics, reliable performance, and astonishing capacity combine to put more into a concealable pistol than you will find anywhere else.

The XD 3" Sub-Compact has all the same features found in the standard XD line, but in a smaller package. The barrel is 3" and the frame is a short, compact size that will let the pistol nearly disappear when you carry it. Enjoy 13+1 rounds of 9mm with the included flush-fitting magazines. You'll find everything on the XD 3" Sub-Compact that make Springfield's XD's easy to use and safe to handle. The striker status indicator, loaded chamber indicator, grip safety, Ultra Safety Assurance (USA) Action Trigger System and internal firing pin block bring the safety and usability to the XD 3" Sub-Compact that you're used to with every other XD.

If you're looking for a concealable pistol, but don't want to sacrifice capacity, reach for an XD 3" Sub-Compact. It's an excellent choice for concealed carry, and it is equally in its element at the range.

Decent gun, with only one chambering issue out of 500 steel cased rounds put through it without cleaning the firearm. No problems with Buds, and I believe I received a semi-fair price for a out of the box old model design. I can say I've found better prices elsewhere, but not at blockbuster stores such as buds.

BUDS delivered my Springfield Sub Compact 9mm in just a couple days. I was finally able to get out to the range earlier today. This is a fun little sidearm perfect for concealed carry, which I will be using for work. My wife loved shooting it as well. I have ordered from BUDS a number of times over the years and I will continue to do so. BUDS GUNS ROCK! See you all down range, Scott

The SA XD Sub Compact in a 9 mm was an excellent purchase. Buds gun shop was great and one of the best online experiences.This gun was very accurate right out of the box. The gun shop employees were very friendly and a first class place to purchase a firearm.

  • Q: Can this gun be used with 9mm luger ammunition?

    • Answered
    • Asked 12/31/2023 18:07 by Gary
    A:
    Absolutely! They are identical and different in name only. Despite what name these rounds carry, when you hear someone refer to a 9mm, they are most likely referring to a 9mm Luger or 9x19mm Parabellum which are one and the same cartridge.
