Who It Is For

This pistol is best suited for three specific types of buyers. First, the budget-conscious shooter who understands that a used police trade-in offers tremendous value. You get a Springfield Armory pistol at a fraction of the cost of a new one, and you are not worried about a few scrapes. Second, the concealed carry permit holder in Illinois who wants a compact .40 S&W that hides well under a t-shirt or jacket. The sub-compact grip is short enough to reduce printing while still providing a full firing grip. Third, the home defender who wants a reliable backup gun that is easy to store and quick to deploy. Just remember that this specific listing does not include a magazine, so you will need to purchase one. If you are comfortable with that, the Springfield XD40 sub-compact 40 S&W police trade-in pistol (no magazine) is a smart, honest choice.
