Fans of Springfield Armory's popular XD-S series of pistols, pay attention: The models are now available in 4-inch barrels-and are shipping immediately.

The XD-S 4.0 turns Springfield Armory’s single stack XD-S platform into a mid-sized pistol, with its sub-compact frame extending to full-size length when you insert an X-Tension magazine. Inserting the flush-fitting magazine makes the pistol perfect for concealed carry.

Watch the video below to see Springfield Pro Shooter Rob Leatham fire this new handgun and walk you through its features. For more on this new model, go to Springfield-Armory.
