Who It’s For

This model is intended for the experienced shooter who prioritizes a manual safety on a full-size .45 ACP platform. The Springfield XD 45ACP Service Model Black with Thumb Safety suits law enforcement officers, security professionals, and civilian owners who train regularly and want an additional layer of control during holstering or administrative handling. The 13-round magazine and full-length grip accommodate larger hands, while the thumb safety allows the pistol to be carried condition one (cocked and locked) if preferred. It is not a compact or subcompact model; it is a service-sized sidearm for those who value capacity and sight radius.
