The Springfield Armory® XD-E™ sculpts Point & Shoot Ergonomics™ into a sleek polymer frame just an inch wide, for ideal hand and holster fit. The Low Effort Slide (L.E.S.) requires 27% less effort to manipulate compared to striker-fired handguns in the same class. Chambering a round has never been easier thanks to the patent-pending hammer design, resulting in far fewer slipped pulls, and quicker, possibly life-saving operation when it counts.
