Overview

The Springfield XD Defend Your Legacy Series 9mm 4.0 Service Model Pistol (10-Round Model) is designed around one core idea: consistency. It uses a 4-inch hammer-forged barrel with a Melonite finish for corrosion resistance and extended service life. The polymer frame includes an integral accessory rail for lights or lasers, and the slide features a loaded chamber indicator and cocked striker indicator. This is the 10-round variant, making it compliant in states with magazine capacity restrictions while still offering full-size grip ergonomics. The Defend Your Legacy series adds upgraded fiber optic front and tactical rack rear sights, plus a match-grade barrel for tighter accuracy out of the box.
