Springfield XDM 3.8 40 S&W Full-Size Black Pistol

If you are in the market for a reliable and proven firearm for personal defense or range use, the Springfield XDM 3.8 40 S&W full-size black pistol is a serious contender. This model from Springfield Armory strikes a balance between a manageable barrel length and a full-size grip, giving you control without sacrificing magazine capacity. Chambered in .40 S&W, it delivers the stopping power many shooters trust, all wrapped in a tough black finish. We have spent plenty of time behind the trigger of this platform, and it consistently delivers the kind of reliability you expect from a duty-grade pistol.

Overview

The Springfield XDM 3.8 40 S&W full-size black pistol is built around a 3.8-inch hammer-forged barrel, which is slightly shorter than a standard full-size slide but still provides excellent ballistic performance. The full-size frame gives you a 16-round magazine capacity in .40 S&W, so you have plenty of firepower on tap. This is not a compact or subcompact; it is a full-hand grip that fits most shooters well, especially those with medium to large hands. The overall package is designed for fast target acquisition and comfortable shooting over long sessions at the range.

Features & Specs

Springfield Armory equips this pistol with their proven safety and accuracy features. The barrel is forged from stainless steel and features a target-grade crown, contributing to consistent accuracy. The slide is machined from billet steel and finished with a durable black Melonite treatment for corrosion resistance. The trigger system is a single-action design with a short reset, allowing for fast follow-up shots.

• Caliber: .40 S&W with a 16+1 round magazine capacity.
• Barrel length: 3.8 inches with a hammer-forged, stainless steel construction.
• Overall length: 7.0 inches, with a weight of approximately 28 ounces unloaded.
• Includes two 16-round magazines, a paddle holster, dual magazine pouch, and a cable lock.

The grip features the XDM interchangeable backstrap system, allowing you to adjust the fit to your hand size. The frame has a Picatinny rail for mounting lights or lasers, and the loaded chamber indicator gives you a visual and tactile confirmation of a round in the chamber. The rear sight is a low-profile combat style, while the front sight has a fiber optic insert for quick acquisition in low light.

• Loaded chamber indicator and trigger safety with grip safety.
• Picatinny accessory rail on the dust cover.

Who It’s For

The Springfield XDM 3.8 40 S&W full-size black pistol is ideal for the shooter who wants a full-capacity .40 caliber handgun without the barrel length of a 4.5-inch or 5-inch model. It works well for home defense, where the shorter slide is easier to maneuver in tight spaces, and for open carry or competition use where capacity matters. If you are a reloader or prefer the .40 S&W cartridge for its balance of velocity and bullet weight, this pistol gives you a durable platform that handles hot loads reliably. It is also a good choice for someone upgrading from a smaller handgun who wants a full-size grip for better control.

• Suitable for home defense, range shooting, and open carry.
• Great for shooters who prefer the .40 S&W over 9mm.
• Fits those who want a shorter slide with a full-size frame and magazine.
