The Springfield Armory XD(M) Elite 4.5" OSP 9mm California Compliant Handgun combines a full-size duty-length barrel with premium match-grade performance optimized for Golden State defensive shooters. Built with a 4.5-inch hammer-forged steel match barrel and a precision-milled Optical Sight Pistol (OSP) slide, it provides a lengthened sight radius and maximized downrange velocity while remaining ready for direct red dot configurations. Shooters benefit from the premium Match Enhanced Trigger Assembly (META), which utilizes a flat-faced shoe and an internal overtravel stop to deliver a crisp, predictable break. To satisfy strict California safety mandates, the architecture incorporates an integrated magazine disconnect safety alongside a mechanical loaded chamber indicator lever that pops up visibly on top of the slide. Wrapped in an ergonomic, full-size polymer frame designed to mitigate recoil during rapid strings of fire, this service-ready handgun ships with two state-compliant 10-round magazines.
