Description
If you carry or shoot the XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact in .45 ACP, this is the magazine Springfield built for it. The XDG4550FDE is a direct OEM replacement that locks in and functions exactly like the mag that came with your pistol, no aftermarket guesswork involved.
The body is laser-welded stainless steel, which handles wear and corrosion well over time. Inside, a high-tensile spring steel coil and a polymer anti-tilt follower work together to keep rounds feeding smoothly and consistently, even under hard use. The fit is snug and wobble-free, which matters more than people sometimes give it credit for.
The standout feature here is the Grip Zone X-Tension sleeve in Flat Dark Earth. This is more than just a cosmetic touch. The sleeve adds a full-hand purchase on the grip of a sub-compact pistol that would otherwise leave your pinky hanging, making the gun noticeably more comfortable and controllable in the hand. For those running an FDE-finished XD Mod.2, it also ties the look together cleanly.
This is a solid pick whether you are grabbing a spare for the range, stocking a backup for home defense, or replacing a worn original. It ships as a complete magazine with the FDE sleeve already installed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine fit my XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact in .45 ACP?
Yes, the XDG4550FDE is specifically designed for the Springfield Armory XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact chambered in .45 ACP. It is a factory OEM magazine, so the fit is exact. If you have a different XD variant, such as the full-size or the XD-S, this is not the right magazine for those.
What does the FDE X-Tension sleeve actually do?
The Flat Dark Earth X-Tension sleeve is a polymer grip extension that wraps around the base of the magazine when it is inserted. It effectively extends the grip length of the sub-compact frame so you can get a full-hand hold rather than a cramped two-finger grip. It also matches the FDE finish found on FDE-edition XD Mod.2 pistols for a seamless look.
Is the 13-round capacity an extended magazine, or is this the standard capacity for this pistol?
The XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact in .45 ACP ships from the factory with a flush-fit 9-round magazine and this 13-round extended magazine. So the 13-rounder is one of the two standard included options, not an aftermarket high-capacity modification. The extra rounds come from the magazine extending slightly past the grip.
Can the FDE sleeve be removed or swapped with a different color?
The sleeve can be removed from the magazine body. Springfield Armory also sells replacement sleeves separately for their XD Mod.2 magazines, so if you want to run a black sleeve or swap to a different color option, that is possible. The stainless steel magazine body itself is not color-specific.
Is this a genuine Springfield Armory magazine or a third-party product?
This is a genuine factory OEM magazine made by Springfield Armory, not an aftermarket reproduction. That means it is built to the same tolerances as the magazine that came with your pistol and is backed by Springfield's quality standards. Using factory magazines is always the safest bet for reliability.
