Description
When it comes to magazines for your carry gun, going factory just makes sense. This is Springfield Armory's OEM 9-round magazine for the XD Sub-Compact and XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact chambered in .40 S&W, part number XD1940. It's the same magazine that ships with the pistol, made to the same tolerances, same materials, same feed geometry. That means no break-in surprises, no fitment headaches, and no guessing whether a third-party mag will run clean.
The body is stainless steel with a natural silver finish, which not only looks clean but holds up well to the wear and moisture that comes with regular carry and range time. Inside, you've got a steel wire spring and an anti-tilt polymer follower that keeps rounds feeding consistently right down to the last shot. The polymer baseplate is impact-resistant and easy to strip for cleaning. There are also rear-facing witness holes so you can do a quick round count without having to drop the mag.
New springs can feel stiff right out of the box, which is completely normal. Loading and unloading a few times before your first range trip helps seat everything and makes topping off to full capacity much easier.
This mag fits both the original XD Sub-Compact and the updated XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact platform in .40 S&W, so if you've got one of either, you're covered. It comes backed by Springfield Armory's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Grab one as a dedicated range spare, a backup for your carry setup, or just to replace a worn-out original.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine fit the XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact as well as the original XD Sub-Compact?
Yes, the XD1940 is compatible with both the Springfield Armory XD Sub-Compact and the XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact in .40 S&W. Springfield Armory designed the Mod.2 to share the same magazine footprint as the original XD Sub-Compact platform, so this factory mag drops right in with no modifications needed.
Is this a genuine Springfield Armory magazine or an aftermarket replacement?
This is a 100% OEM factory magazine made by Springfield Armory, part number XD1940. It's manufactured to the same specifications, tolerances, and materials as the magazine that originally shipped with your pistol. If you want the closest thing to what the gun was designed to run, this is it.
My new magazine feels really stiff and I can't load all 9 rounds. Is that normal?
Completely normal. New factory magazines often have stiff springs right out of the box, and loading to full capacity can feel tough until the spring loosens up a bit. Running a few load and unload cycles before your first range session usually takes care of it, and after some use it'll feed smoothly to the last round.
Does the XD1940 magazine have witness holes so I can check my round count?
Yes, this magazine features rear-facing witness holes along the body so you can do a quick visual check of how many rounds remain without dropping the mag. It's a small but handy feature, especially during drills or when staging the gun for home defense.
Does this magazine come with any kind of warranty?
Yes, like other genuine Springfield Armory factory magazines, the XD1940 is covered under Springfield Armory's Limited Lifetime Warranty. That kind of backing is part of why sticking with factory magazines is generally the smart call over third-party options.
