Springfield Armory Backstrap Sleeve — Polymer | Flat Dark Earth | 1-Piece Design | #2 Backstrap | Fits XD-S 9mm (3"–4" Barrels) | Model XDS5902MFDE | UPC 706397904401
Upgrade comfort, concealability, and control for your Springfield XD-S with the Springfield Armory Backstrap Sleeve (Model XDS5902MFDE). This precision-molded, one-piece polymer sleeve in Flat Dark Earth (FDE) snaps over the factory #2 backstrap to add a refined gripping surface and subtle length/shape improvement for 9mm XD-S pistols with 3"–4" barrels. If you carry concealed or demand better ergonomics for faster, more accurate follow-up shots, this low-profile sleeve is an easy, tool-free way to customize your pistol’s feel without changing magazines, baseplates, or holsters.
Purpose-Built Fit for Springfield XD-S 9mm
Specifically designed to pair with the #2 backstrap on Springfield XD-S 9mm pistols (3"–4" barrel models), the XDS5902MFDE gives a factory-matched contour and a secure, tactile surface that improves hand purchase and control. The sleeve installs quickly and securely over the existing backstrap so the gun’s original geometry and function remain unchanged — just more comfortable and more confidence-inspiring.
Durable Polymer Construction with Tactical FDE Finish
Constructed from high-strength polymer, this sleeve resists scratches, impact, and perspiration while remaining lightweight. The Flat Dark Earth color blends seamlessly with popular holster interiors and tactical gear, and the matte texture reduces glare while delivering a positive, non-slip grip. Engineered for daily carry environments, it balances durability and comfort for everyday use.
One-Piece, No-Tools Installation
Installation is fast and intuitive — no specialized tools or gunsmithing required. The one-piece design slips over the factory backstrap and locks into place for a secure fit that won’t shift during draw or recoil. When needed, it can be removed just as easily for cleaning or to switch back to the factory profile.
Improved Control, Faster Follow-Up Shots
Adding a backstrap sleeve can dramatically improve your ability to obtain a full, consistent grip on compact pistols like the XD-S. The XDS5902MFDE provides:
A fuller feel in the hand for shooters with medium to large hands.
Improved recoil management and muzzle control for quicker return to target.
Better indexing and hand placement, reducing muzzle flip and improving accuracy under stress.
All while keeping the pistol slim enough for comfortable IWB carry.
