A 5 inch barrel on a polymer service pistol gives you extra sight radius and a bit more velocity. This used Springfield XD 40 Tactical is chambered in .40 S&W and comes with two magazines and the factory box.

The XD line is striker-fired, with a grip safety and a loaded-chamber indicator that you can see and feel. The Tactical name signals the longer barrel and slide, which many shooters like for range work and for home defense. The longer sight radius helps with accuracy, and the extra weight up front steadies the muzzle during recoil.

.40 S&W is a snappy round, popular with police departments in years past. If you have not shot one, expect a firmer kick than a 9mm. The longer barrel and larger frame of this pistol help take the edge off.

Used means the pistol shows signs of prior ownership, and it is sold as described. Review the photos for the finish and the condition of the sights and magazines. Two magazines and the factory box make a good starter package, and a used XD is often an attractive value. It ships to a licensed dealer you choose, where you complete the background check and pick it up.
