25 Years ago, Springfield launched a pistol that would shape the industry. That pistol was the XD, and hundreds of thousands of these solid shooters have been sold. Over the years, Springfield has offered us new versions of the XD, but today, they are releasing something very special. The Springfield XD Mod.4 OSP.
XD Mod.4 OSP – The Newest Generation
The Springfield Armory XD Mod.4 OSP 9mm pistol is the newest generation of the platform that first set the standard for feature-rich striker-fired handguns. Built on a foundation of proven reliability, this newest XD iteration leverages its storied legacy to offer shooters a modern, capable 9mm — and all for an MSRP of just $399.

The XD Mod.4 OSP (which stands for “Optical Sight Pistol”) features a factory-milled slide that employs a plate-based system to accommodate today’s most popular optics, enhancing accuracy and performance. OSP plates for the pistol are available for purchase in the Springfield Armory Store.
Superior Control
The pistol’s aggressively textured polymer frame ensures superior control, with the texturing strategically placed on the most important contact points. Additionally, an undercut trigger guard and extended beavertail allow for a high-hand position for superior control. Matching up with the frame are enhanced slide serrations — located both fore and aft — that are deeply cut and aggressive, providing enhanced grip and confident manipulation even in adverse conditions.

In addition to its superb handling characteristics, the XD Mod.4 OSP also features a full set of safety features. The passive grip safety adds a layer of safety and is disengaged with a proper shooting grip. The striker’s position is confirmed by a status indicator located on the rear of the slide. And lastly, a tactile-loaded chamber indicator slightly protrudes from the top of the slide when a round is chambered.
Flat Faced Trigger
The 9mm pistol features a flat-faced trigger to provide a consistent feel throughout the trigger press. In addition, a red fiber optic front sight is paired with a white dot rear, both constructed of steel for durability. A MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail is located on the dustcover portion of the frame. The XD Mod.4 ships with a 16-round stainless steel magazine, and the MSRP is $399. A 10-round variant for restricted locales is also available.
