Overview
The Springfield XD 40 S&W 4.0 Full-Size Service Model with V-10 Ported Barrel is a striker-fired pistol chambered in .40 S&W, offering a 4-inch barrel with three vertical ports machined into the slide and barrel.

It is a straightforward, no-nonsense firearm that prioritizes function over flash.
Features and Specs
This model stands out for its combination of practical design elements and proven engineering. The V-10 ported barrel is the headline feature, but the rest of the package is equally well-considered. Here is a breakdown of what you get with the Springfield XD 40 S&W 4.0 Full-Size Service Model with V-10 Ported Barrel:
- V-10 Ported Barrel and Slide: Three ports near the muzzle vent propellant gases upward, counteracting muzzle flip and helping you stay on target. This is especially noticeable during defensive drills or rapid fire.
- Striker-Fired Action: Consistent trigger pull with no external safety to fumble with. The XD trigger system includes a grip safety and trigger safety for added peace of mind.
- Full-Size Service Frame: Designed for a full four-finger grip, accommodating shooters with larger hands or those who prefer maximum control. The textured grip insert provides a non-slip surface even in wet conditions.
Additional specs include a 4.0-inch barrel length, overall length of 7.3 inches, and a height of 5.5 inches. It ships with two 12-round magazines, a paddle holster, double magazine pouch, and a cable lock. The slide is forged carbon steel with a Melonite finish for corrosion resistance, and the frame is a durable polymer.
- Sights: Low-profile three-dot system with a dovetail front and rear. The rear sight is steel and drift adjustable for windage.
- Loaded Chamber Indicator: A tactile and visual indicator lets you confirm a round is chambered without having to pull the slide back.
- Recoil System: A dual-spring guide rod assembly helps manage the .40 S&W recoil impulse, contributing to the pistol’s overall durability.
