Key Features – Springfield XD4548 XD Compact 13rd .45 ACP Magazine
Engineered for the Springfield XD Compact .45 ACP
This magazine is specifically listed by multiple retailers as a Springfield Armory XD Compact 45ACP Magazine w/ Green X-Tension 13Rd Stainless XD4548. Gunbuyer+2Ash Arms LLC+2
That means it is:
Dimensioned precisely for the XD Compact .45 ACP double-stack frame
Designed so the OD Green Grip X-Tension sleeve mates perfectly with the bottom of the compact grip
A true OEM upgrade, not a generic aftermarket solution
When inserted, the sleeve fills the gap between the base of the grip and the extended magazine body, giving your compact XD a full-size grip feel and full-hand support while maintaining the shorter slide and barrel that make it easier to carry.
13-Round Capacity – Full-Size Firepower in a Compact Package
With 13 rounds of .45 ACP on board, the XD4548 extended mag brings full-size pistol capacity to your XD Compact: Palmetto State Armory+2Gunbuyer+2
Ideal for range days and training classes where fewer reloads keep you focused on drills
A smart option for home-defense configurations, giving you more defensive capacity at the ready
Excellent as a spare reload magazine even if you carry a flush-fit mag in the pistol for maximum concealment
For many XD Compact owners, a combination of flush mags for concealed carry and XD4548 13-round mags for training or backup reloads is the perfect balance of concealability and firepower.
Stainless Steel Construction – Durable, Rigid, and Corrosion-Resistant
