Springfield Mod.2 40 S&W Sub-Compact Bi-Tone with GripZone (Compliant)

The Springfield Mod.2 40 S&W Sub-Compact Bi-Tone with GripZone (Compliant) delivers reliable performance in a package designed for concealed carry and duty backup roles. Chambered in .40 S&W, this firearm combines the proven Mod.2 platform with Springfield Armory’s advanced GripZone texture system, offering shooters a secure purchase during rapid fire and adverse conditions. The bi-tone finish features a stainless steel slide paired with a black polymer frame, providing both corrosion resistance and a professional appearance.

Overview

Springfield Armory designed the Mod.2 line to address the demands of everyday carry without sacrificing capacity or control. The springfield mod.2 40 s&w sub-compact bi-tone with gripzone (compliant) features a 3.0-inch barrel and a 9-round flush-fit magazine, with an optional extended magazine for a full grip. The compliant model meets legal requirements for states with magazine capacity restrictions, ensuring you stay within local regulations while maintaining defensive capability.

This pistol utilizes the same proven trigger system found in full-size service pistols, delivering a consistent 5.5 to 6.5-pound pull weight. The loaded chamber indicator and visual extractor provide clear status checks without relying on tactile feedback alone.

Features & Specs

The springfield mod.2 40 s&w sub-compact bi-tone with gripzone (compliant) incorporates features that enhance handling and reliability in a compact frame.

• GripZone texturing: Three distinct texture patterns applied to the frontstrap, backstrap, and side panels provide traction exactly where the hand contacts the frame, reducing slip during recoil and one-handed operation.
• Bi-tone finish: Stainless steel slide with a black Melonite-coated barrel resists corrosion and holster wear, while the black polymer frame reduces overall weight.
• Compliant configuration: Ships with two 9-round magazines in states with capacity limits. The pistol accepts standard Mod.2 magazines where legally permitted.

Additional specifications include a forged steel slide, locked-breech action, and three-dot sights. The sub-compact slide dimensions allow for deep concealment without compromising sight radius. Overall length measures 6.0 inches with a height of 4.4 inches when using the flush magazine.

• Caliber: .40 S&W
• Barrel length: 3.0 inches
• Weight: 21.5 ounces (empty)
• Trigger: Single-action with striker fire
• Sights: Low-profile three-dot

Who It’s For

This model suits experienced shooters who prefer the .40 S&W cartridge for its balance of capacity and terminal performance. The sub-compact dimensions make it appropriate for concealed carry under light clothing, while the GripZone texture benefits shooters with wet hands or those who practice rapid follow-up shots. The compliant version addresses buyers in restricted states who want a factory-original firearm without aftermarket modifications.

The springfield mod.2 40 s&w sub-compact bi-tone with gripzone (compliant) also serves as an entry point for those transitioning from full-size duty pistols to a more concealable platform, as the manual of arms remains identical to larger Mod.2 models. Law enforcement personnel may use it as an off-duty or backup weapon that shares holster and magazine compatibility with issued Mod.2 duty pistols.

• Concealed carry permit holders seeking a compact .40 S&W
• Shooters requiring compliance with magazine capacity laws
• Those who prioritize grip texture and recoil control
