GENESEO, ILL. (10/01/24) – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the release of the XD® Mod.3 OSP™ 9mm pistol.
Based on the platform that set the standard for feature-rich striker-fired handguns, the new XD Mod.3 OSP offers enhancements and upgrades designed to take the proven design to the next level — and all at an MSRP of just $325.
The hammer-forged, Melonite®-finished slide of the pistol features a factory-milled OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) cut designed to accept a wide variety of popular red dot optics. OSP plates, available for purchase from the Springfield Armory Store, allow for easy customization to fit RMR®, DeltaPoint® Pro and Docter® footprints.
In addition, the slide features a set of rugged steel sights with a high-visibility red fiber optic front sight paired with a white dot rear sight. Enhanced slide serrations both fore and aft offer improved grip in adverse conditions, while a flared cut at the rear provides additional purchase for easy manipulation.

In addition to a visual and tactile loaded chamber indicator located atop the slide, a striker-status indicator on the slide’s rear face adds an additional layer of security. Housed within the slide is a 4” hammer-forged Melonite® finish barrel.
The frame of the XD Mod.3 features aggressive texturing strategically placed on the most important contact points. An undercut triggerguard and extended beavertail allow for a high-hand position for superior control, working in concert with the texturing to ensure superior control.
The pistol’s passive grip safety features a raised “memory bump” for consistent and reliable engagement, and a flat-faced trigger delivers improved feel and performance. An accessory rail on the dustcover allows the user to fit a wide range of accessories, and the pistol ships with a 16-round stainless steel magazine. A 10-round version for restricted locales is also offered.
“The new XD Mod.3 offers shooters a modern and enhanced take on this proven 9mm pistol platform,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “With optics capability, improved ergonomics and a very impressive price point, this 9mm deserves a very close look.”
