Purpose-Built for XD-S .45 ACP with #2 Backstrap & 3.30" Barrel
This backstrap sleeve is not universal—it is precision molded as a Springfield OEM part specifically for:
By matching the profile and contour of the #2 backstrap, the sleeve:
Sits flush with the grip frame
Blends seamlessly with the extended magazine base
Enhances both the look and feel of your pistol

One-Piece Polymer Construction – Strong, Simple, Reliable
The 1-piece design of the XDS5002MFDE keeps things streamlined and rugged:
No screws, spacers, or moving pieces to loosen up under repeated use.
Made from high-strength polymer that resists impact, flex, and everyday wear.
Light enough to maintain the XD-S’s reputation as a slim, easy-to-carry defensive pistol.
Once installed over the correct extended magazine, this sleeve offers a solid, integrated feel that holds up to serious training and daily carry.
Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Finish – Modern, Tactical Look
The Flat Dark Earth color of this backstrap sleeve is ideal for shooters who want a modern, duty-ready aesthetic:
Perfect match for FDE XD-S frames, FDE magazines, and FDE accessories.
Creates a cohesive, tactical look for two-tone builds when paired with black slides or controls.
Low-glare, neutral tone works well in urban, range, and field environments.
If you’ve built your carry kit around FDE gear, the XDS5002MFDE is the finishing touch that makes your XD-S .45 ACP look as good as it shoots.
Fills the Grip Gap with Extended Magazines
When you run an extended magazine in your XD-S .45 ACP with the #2 backstrap, there’s often a noticeable gap between the bottom of the frame and the mag base. This sleeve is designed to:
Fill that gap cleanly, creating a continuous grip profile.
Give your support and firing hand a more complete, three-finger purchase—especially important with .45 ACP recoil.
Reduce the chance of pinched fingers during recoil or reloads.
Help you achieve better recoil control and faster follow-up shots in defensive training or live use.
The result is a more confident, comfortable, and controllable grip without adding unnecessary bulk.

Slide the FDE polymer sleeve over the correct extended XD-S .45 ACP magazine.
Seat the sleeve firmly against the magazine baseplate.
Insert the magazine into your XD-S; the sleeve should fit flush with the frame and backstrap.
