It is ultra-compact with comparable dimensions to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/springfield-xd-s-unboxed-at-the-counter\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-xd-e-unboxed-gun-counter\" title=\"Springfield Armory XD-E Unboxed at the Gun Counter\">Springfield XD-S<\/a>. The external hammer provides several benefits over traditional striker-fired pistols. It reduces the effort to rack the slide by 27 percent, it can be carried \u201ccocked and locked\u201d like a 1911, and the ambidextrous safety also acts as a\u00a0decocker that resets the trigger so it can be carried in DA or SA mode. It provides the ultimate safety especially for those who want to appendix carry.<\/p>\n<p>The exposed hammer clearly signals the XD-E\u2019s state of readiness. It can be manually cocked so it operates as a single action and can provide a second chance on light strikes or stubborn primers. The hammer allows easy selection between DA\/SA operation. The trigger is smooth and crisp.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search\/Category\/1655\/Guns\/Pistols\/Springfield-Armory-Pistols\/XD-E.htm\" campaign=\"UnboxXDEBuyGA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Shop for a Springfield XD-E on GunsAmerica<\/a>***<\/h1>\n<p>The XD-E features steel combat rear sights with white dots and a highly visible fiber-optic front sight. It comes with two magazines, a lock, a bore brush and extra fiber optic tubes. Offered in both 9mm and .45 ACP configurations,\u00a0the pistols hold 8 or 9+1 rounds of 9mm and 6 or 7+1 rounds of .45 ACP respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The low effort slide has six deep cut grooves for positive grip. The polymer frame has a front auxiliary rail for lights and\/or lasers. It is an inch wide and weighs 25 ounces in 9mm or 23 ounces in .45 ACP.<\/p>\n<p>The XD-E retails for between $525 and $598 depending on configuration but you can usually find them on GunsAmerica starting at $480. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/Search\/Category\/1655\/Guns\/Pistols\/Springfield-Armory-Pistols\/XD-E.htm\" campaign=\"UnboxXDEBuyGA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Click here to browse the current listings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the XD-E visit the Springfield Armory <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springfield-armory.com\/xde-series\/\" campaign=\"UnboxXDESA\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To read more about the Springfield Armory XD-E, check out these popular articles on GunsAmerica:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/springfield-armory-xd-e\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-xd-e-unboxed-gun-counter\" title=\"Springfield Armory XD-E Unboxed at the Gun Counter\">Springfield Armory XD-E in .45 ACP: The Dark Horse of the Springfield Family \u2013 SHOT Show 2018<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/springfield-xd-e-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-xd-e-unboxed-gun-counter\" title=\"Springfield Armory XD-E Unboxed at the Gun Counter\">XD-E- Now Available In Men\u2019s Sizes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/hammer-time-springfields-new-9mm-xd-e-full-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"springfield-armory-xd-e-unboxed-gun-counter\" title=\"Springfield Armory XD-E Unboxed at the Gun Counter\">It\u2019s Hammer Time!
