Overview

The Springfield XD Sub-Compact 9mm Defend Your Legacy Series Pistol (10-Round Model) is built around the idea that everyday carry should feel natural. Springfield Armory designed this striker-fired pistol with a 3-inch barrel and a compact slide that reduces overall length to just 6.25 inches. Despite its small footprint, the 10-round magazine gives you a solid capacity for defense. The Defend Your Legacy Series adds visual touches like a patriotic laser-engraved slide, but the real story is in the ergonomics and reliability. This is a gun that runs clean out of the box and stays reliable through thousands of rounds.
