Description
The XD-M Compact is a well-regarded platform, and Springfield Armory's own factory magazines are the right way to keep it running. This 16-round extended magazine in .40 S&W is built from stainless steel and made to the same tolerances as the mag that came with your pistol. No guesswork about fit, feed angle, or finish quality.
One thing worth understanding about this magazine is the sleeve system. Because the XD-M Compact uses a user-adjustable backstrap to customize grip size, extended magazines need a matching sleeve to fill the gap between the base of the grip frame and the magazine body. This particular version (MPN: XDM50111) ships with a black sleeve sized for backstrap #1, which is the small grip option. The sleeve slides over the extended portion of the magazine and keeps things looking and feeling tidy rather than leaving an awkward gap. The backstrap itself is not included, just the sleeve.
For anyone who runs the XD-M Compact as a range gun and wants more rounds before a reload, or who wants a higher-capacity backup to their flush-fit carry mag, this is the go-to option. Sixteen rounds of .40 S&W in a compact pistol is a serious amount of firepower, and having a spare that feeds the same way every time matters.
If you use backstrap #2 or #3 on your XD-M Compact, Springfield offers the same 16-round magazine under different part numbers (XDM50112 and XDM50113) with the corresponding sleeve size. Make sure you match the sleeve to your grip setup for the cleanest fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pistols will this XD-M Compact magazine fit?
This magazine is designed specifically for Springfield Armory XD-M Compact pistols chambered in .40 S&W. It is not intended for full-size XD-M models or other calibers. Always confirm your pistol's model and caliber before ordering.
Why does this magazine come with a sleeve, and do I need it?
The XD-M Compact uses a backstrap system that lets you adjust grip size, and extended magazines protrude slightly below the grip frame. The included sleeve slides over that extended portion to fill the gap and maintain a consistent grip profile. If you run a backstrap on your pistol, using the matching sleeve keeps everything feeling solid and intentional. The sleeve is not required for the magazine to function, but most people prefer it.
This magazine ships with a sleeve for backstrap #1. What if I use backstrap #2 or #3?
Springfield Armory makes the same 16-round .40 S&W Compact magazine with sleeves sized for backstrap #2 (XDM50112) and backstrap #3 (XDM50113). If you run a medium or large backstrap, pick up the version that matches. The sleeve sizing corresponds to small (#1), medium (#2), and large (#3).
Is this a factory OEM magazine or an aftermarket product?
This is a genuine factory Springfield Armory magazine, not an aftermarket substitute. It is manufactured to the same specifications and tolerances as the magazine that ships with the XD-M Compact pistol, which means you can expect the same fit and reliability you get from the original.
Does the backstrap come included with this magazine?
No, the backstrap is not included. This package contains only the stainless steel magazine and the black sleeve sized for backstrap #1. The backstrap panels themselves come with the pistol and are sold separately if replacements are needed.
Can this magazine be used in the XD-M Elite Compact as well?
Springfield Armory's documentation and retail listings reference this magazine for the XD-M Compact platform in .40 S&W. The XD-M Elite Compact has its own specific magazine lineup, so it is worth confirming compatibility with your exact pistol before assuming cross-compatibility.
