Springfield XD 40 S&W 4.0 Full-Size Service Model With V-10 Ported Barrel

For the shooter who demands reduced muzzle rise without sacrificing the proven reliability of a full-size duty platform, the Springfield XD 40 S&W 4.0 Full-Size Service Model with V-10 Ported Barrel delivers a distinct mechanical advantage. This service-grade pistol combines the robust .40 S&W cartridge with Springfield Armory’s V-10 porting system, which vents propellant gases upward through barrel slots to counteract recoil and keep the sights on target. Designed for law enforcement, defensive use, and serious range work, this model represents a purposeful evolution of the XD series.

Overview

The Springfield XD 40 S&W 4.0 Full-Size Service Model with V-10 Ported Barrel is built on the proven XD polymer frame with a 4.0-inch barrel and a full-length steel slide. The V-10 porting distinguishes this variant from standard XD models, offering a tangible reduction in muzzle flip during rapid fire. This firearm ships with two 12-round magazines, a paddle holster, magazine pouch, and a cable lock. It is a direct descendant of the pistols used by the Croatian military and refined by Springfield Armory for the U.S. market.
