One of the very best polymer pistols available today is Springfield’s XD—a Croatian-produced, military-inspired duty gun that was initially chambered in 9 mm, .40 S&W, .357 Sig and later .45 GAP.

On the weapon, the new XD Mod. 2 Sub-Compact pistol is updated from its predecessor, the original XD Sub-Compact, with several enhancements for improved concealability, ergonomics and performance.
