Springfield XD OSP Slide Kit and Assembly Conversion Systems: First Look

Springfield Armory is proud to announce the release of new XD OSP (Optical Sight Pistol) Slide Kit and Assembly options for the original XD line of full-size pistols. The 4-inch 9mm kit and assemblies provide original XD owners OSP capabilities as well as the ability to convert certain XD models to a full-size 4-inch 9mm configuration. The slides, featuring included cover plates, are cut to accept XD-M OSP optics mounting plates available for a wide range of popular optics.

First up is the XD OSP Slide Kit (part number XD4902), a package that provides users with a complete OSP-cut, full-size XD slide assembly packaged with a recoil spring assembly, barrel and an optics mounting plate in the Springfield Micro footprint. This plate accepts optics like the Shield SMSc and allows for co-witnessing with the iron sights. MSRP is $396. With this XD OSP Slide Kit, you can convert several XD variants to a full-size 4-inch 9mm configuration featuring OSP capabilities. The kit converts the following:

• XD 5-inch 9mm to XD 4-inch OSP 9mm
• XD 4-inch .40 to XD 4-inch OSP 9mm (with purchase of 9mm magazine)
• XD 5-inch .40 to XD 4-inch OSP 9mm (with purchase of 9mm magazine)

Also available is the XD OSP Slide Assembly (part number XD4901), which includes an OSP-cut slide assembly for an XD 4-inch 9mm pistol along with a Springfield Micro footprint optics-mounting plate.

With this assembly, you can easily swap out the slide on your 4-inch 9mm pistol to gain OSP optics-mounting capabilities. MSRP for the XD OSP Slide Assembly is $270. Also available is an XD OSP Slide Assembly packaged with a Crimson Trace CTS-1500 red dot optic and optic mounting plate (part number XD4903). MSRP for that package is $369.
