The pistol and red dot combo are very accurate (despite my poor marksmanship). If this is the case then I surmise that your time to train to proficiency with the red dot mounted will be drastically reduced. This point is also perhaps a positive for some people who already carry an XD-S MOD.2 pistol and simply want a red dot-mounted option. Since the XD-S MOD.2 grip is much different than the rest of my carry guns with optics, this proved to be a lot harder since I was unfamiliar with the pistol. Anyone who has spent a lot of time behind a pistol-mounted red dot will understand the growing pains of having to hunt for the dot until you’ve established enough muscle memory to bring the pistol to bear with the dot already in the window. I immediately noticed that I was going to have to practice with the gun a lot more if I wanted to use it in its optics-mounted configuration.
SPRINGFIELD XDS 9MM FULL
The optics cut is low enough on the OSP to allow for a full co-witness with the CTS-1500 and standard height iron sights.Īfter finding a holster to fit the XD-S MOD.2 OSP in, I headed out to the range to get some trigger time behind the updated MOD.2 pistol.
However, options are available without the red dot and feature a Shield RMS footprint for the optics cut. The MOD.2 OSP came with a pre-mounted Crimson Trace CTS-1500 red dot. I personally much preferred the presentation and shipping of the old Springfield boxes which featured foam cutouts for nearly every component but if you don’t use your gun cases after you buy your guns, then this is perhaps a complete non-issue for you. The fit and finish of the gun right outside of the box are what I would expect from Springfield with everything functioning right out of the box with no blemish marks on the slide or frame. Instead, the pistol comes shipped in a matte laminated cardboard box with the gun’s soft case, manuals, and spare magazines set inside. One perhaps disappointing feature about the new XD-S MOD.2 OSP is the decision of Springfield to no longer include a foam padded plastic case with their XD-S models. Springfield’s XD-S MOD.2 line was introduced back in 2018 and James Reeves did a great review on the pistol which eliminated the infamous (or famous) GRIP ZONE markings on the side of the frame of the pistol and the new XD-S MOD.2 OSP has kept this aesthetic decision. Nearly every major manufacturer including Springfield Armory had an offering and overall every single one of those options was a quality one that offered you a reliable, and slim EDC option. Only 4 years ago, the single stack 9mm market was completely oversaturated with options much like the micro-compact 9mm market is today.

Well with the introduction of modern micro-compact 9mm pistols, there really hasn’t been a need for me to pick up a compact single-stack 9mm in a long time but I had the feeling that many people still probably preferred their older single-stack 9mm pistols and might want to have carry-optics capabilities but keep largely the same gun. I was able to receive a copy of the Springfield XD-S MOD.2 OSP pistol in 9mm and in their 4-inch barrel configuration and with this review, I wanted to set out into a realm of handgun performance I hadn’t really spent all that much time with in the last couple of years.
Springfield Armory recently introduces new optics-ready versions of their XD-S MOD.2 pistols in an effort to meet the demands of modern concealed carriers. The single stack 9mm market hasn’t completely gone to the wayside yet.
