Description
The XD-E is already one of the slimmest .45 ACP carry pistols on the market, measuring just an inch wide, and the flush-fit magazine is a big part of what makes that work. With this 6-round magazine seated, the grip sits compact and clean against the frame, keeping the profile low for IWB or pocket carry without any baseplate sticking out to snag on a cover garment.
This is a genuine Springfield Armory factory magazine, part number XDE5006, built to the same specifications and tolerances as the magazine that came in the box with your XD-E. The body is stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability, and the polymer baseplate keeps weight down while maintaining a clean, flat profile. The internal spring and follower are designed to feed .45 ACP reliably cycle after cycle, whether you are training at the range or depending on it for carry.
Having a spare magazine is just good practice. Rotating your carry magazines over time helps preserve spring tension and gives you a chance to inspect for wear. It also means you have a backup ready to go if your primary ever needs attention. For a pistol built around everyday concealed carry, a factory mag like this is the kind of backup that makes sense to have on hand.
If you want more grip with a little extra capacity, Springfield also offers the XD-E .45 ACP magazine with a pinky extension and a 7-round extended version. But for the purest, flattest carry profile on your XD-E, this flush-fit 6-rounder is the one that keeps everything low and tidy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine work in all XD-E .45 ACP models?
Yes, this magazine is designed specifically for the Springfield Armory XD-E chambered in .45 ACP. The .45 ACP XD-E was offered in a 3.3-inch barrel configuration, and this flush-fit magazine is the correct factory option for that pistol. It will not cross-fit with the XD-S or other XD variants, so make sure your pistol is the XD-E model.
Is this a factory magazine or a third-party replacement?
This is a genuine Springfield Armory factory OEM magazine, part number XDE5006. It is built to the same manufacturing specs and materials as the magazine that originally ships with the XD-E pistol. For a carry gun, sticking with the factory mag is generally the right call for peace-of-mind reliability.
Why only 6 rounds? Can I get more capacity in the XD-E .45 ACP?
The .45 ACP cartridge is physically larger than 9mm, which means less capacity in the same grip footprint. For the single-stack XD-E, 6 rounds flush and 7 rounds with an extended magazine are your factory options. Springfield also offers the XD-E 7-round extended magazine with a grip sleeve if you want that extra round and a bit more to hold on to.
What is the difference between this magazine and the pinky extension version?
Both hold 6 rounds of .45 ACP. The flush-fit version sits completely even with the bottom of the grip frame for maximum concealability, while the pinky extension version adds a small ledge below the baseplate for your little finger to rest on. If you prioritize a low-profile carry setup, go flush. If you want a more secure grip at the range or as a backup mag, the extension version is worth considering.
How many of these magazines should I keep on hand for my XD-E?
At minimum, most carry-focused gun owners keep two to three magazines per pistol. Having at least one spare beyond what came with the gun means you can rotate magazines regularly, which helps maintain spring reliability over time. It also ensures you are not without a functional magazine if one needs to be inspected or replaced.
Is the stainless steel body going to hold up in humid or wet conditions?
Stainless steel is a solid choice for a carry magazine precisely because it resists corrosion better than carbon steel. That said, no metal is completely immune to the elements, so giving your magazines a quick wipe-down after exposure to sweat or moisture is a good habit. Routine inspection during your normal cleaning routine will keep them in good shape long-term.
