Description
This is the factory magazine for the Springfield XD-S Mod.2 subcompact .45 ACP pistol. Built with a laser-welded stainless steel body, it delivers the same reliability and durability you get from Springfield Armory's firearms. The magazine holds 6 rounds and comes with the gray X-Tension polymer grip sleeve that extends the magazine to provide a fuller grip and better control, especially valuable when shooting a compact .45.
The internals feature a high-tensile steel spring paired with an anti-tilt polymer follower to ensure consistent cartridge alignment and smooth feeding on every round. Numbered witness holes on both sides let you quickly see how many rounds you have left without having to unload anything. The design is precision-engineered for a snug, wobble-free fit with no rattle or movement when locked in the magazine well.
This is the extended 6-round option that works as either a spare magazine or primary carry magazine depending on your setup. Many find the extra round and the extended grip sleeve worth the slight increase in profile compared to the flush 5-round option. The gray finish matches the tactical aesthetic while the polymer sleeve stays snag-free during draw and reholster. If you carry or shoot an XD-S Mod.2 in .45 ACP, having a spare magazine or two gives you options for different carry preferences and range sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this magazine compatible with the original XD-S .45?
No, this magazine is designed specifically for the XD-S Mod.2 platform and will not fit the original XD-S due to differences in the grip sleeve design. While the magazine body itself may fit, the Mod.2 X-Tension sleeve is incompatible with the first generation XD-S.
How many rounds does the XD-S Mod.2 .45 magazine hold?
This is the 6-round extended model that comes with an X-Tension grip sleeve. Your pistol also ships with a 5-round flush magazine for compact carry. Some users find the 6-rounder works best as a backup or range magazine due to its slightly longer profile.
What makes the X-Tension sleeve useful?
The extended sleeve gives your pinky finger a resting place and extends the grip area, providing better control during shooting and a more comfortable hold. It also helps manage the recoil of the .45 ACP, making follow-up shots more controllable.
Can I use this as my primary carry magazine?
Yes, many people carry with the 6-round extended magazine as their primary option. It only extends the grip slightly while giving you an extra round compared to the 5-round flush option. The X-Tension sleeve stays snag-free during draw and reholster when properly seated in a quality holster.
Is the stainless steel body corrosion resistant?
Yes, the laser-welded stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion even with regular use and exposure to moisture. The stainless material means this magazine can handle being stored fully loaded for extended periods without rust concerns.
How do the witness holes work?
Numbered holes run along both sides of the magazine body so you can glance down and immediately see how many rounds are loaded without removing any ammunition. This is especially useful at the range or when doing tactical reloads.
