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.

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.

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.
