Springfield Mod.2 40 S&W Sub-Compact Bi-Tone With GripZone (Compliant)

If you are looking for a concealed carry pistol that balances firepower with everyday comfort, the springfield mod.2 40 s&w sub-compact bi-tone with gripzone (compliant) deserves a close look. Springfield Armory took everything shooters liked about the original XD platform and refined it into a more aggressive, more controllable package. This compliant model is ready to ship to your local FFL, offering a reliable .40 S&W option that doesn’t skimp on capacity or control.

Overview

The springfield mod.2 40 s&w sub-compact bi-tone with gripzone (compliant) is built for shooters who want a short slide and a compact frame without sacrificing stopping power. Chambered in .40 S&W, it delivers proven terminal performance in a package that conceals easily under a light jacket or an untucked shirt. The bi-tone finish gives it a sharp two-tone look with a black polymer frame and a stainless steel slide, while the GripZone texturing provides a secure hold even with sweaty hands or in adverse weather. This compliant model adheres to current state regulations, making it a straightforward choice for buyers in restricted markets.

Features & Specs

Springfield Armory designed the Mod.2 series with practical upgrades that make a real difference at the range and on the draw. The GripZone pattern is not just cosmetic; it uses a combination of aggressive stippling and scalloped texture to lock your hand in place. The slide features front and rear cocking serrations for easy manipulation, and the loaded chamber indicator gives you a tactile and visual check. Here is what you get with this model:

• Caliber: .40 S&W with a 9+1 capacity in the flush-fit magazine (includes one extended 12-round magazine for a full grip option)
• Barrel length: 3-inch steel barrel with Melonite finish for corrosion resistance and longevity
• Sights: Low-profile carry rear sight and a fiber optic front sight for quick target acquisition
• Frame: High-hand polymer frame with the signature GripZone texture and an accessory rail for lights or lasers

Additional specs include a striker-fired action with a consistent trigger pull, a trigger safety, and a grip safety that prevents the gun from firing unless you have a proper hold. The overall length is just 6.25 inches, and the unloaded weight sits around 21 ounces, making it easy to carry all day.

Who It’s For

This pistol is for the everyday carrier who wants the proven ballistics of .40 S&W in a genuinely concealable package. If you have medium to large hands, the GripZone texture and the option to use the extended magazine give you flexibility in your grip. It also works well for shooters transitioning from a full-size duty gun to a sub-compact who still want a caliber they trust. The springfield mod.2 40 s&w sub-compact bi-tone with gripzone (compliant) is equally at home as a backup gun for law enforcement or as a primary concealed carry piece for a prepared civilian.

• Ideal for deep concealment in an IWB holster or pocket carry with the right holster
• Suitable for shooters who prefer a grip safety over a manual thumb safety
• Works for those who need a compliant model without restricted features
