For many years, Pearce Grips have been well-known with the handgun industry. Because of this, they wanted to ensure that every shooter has access to grips for their handguns that provide the best shooting experience possible regardless of the situation and environment. From this, they have developed the Pearce Grip Springfield Armory XD Series Grip Extension. This particular grip extension replaces the magazine base plate and internal locking plate. By doing this, these extensions provide an additional 1” of gripping surface ultimately providing more control and two more rounds in the magazine as an added bonus. This Pearce Grip Springfield Armory XD Series Grip Extension blends with the contours and textures of the shooters’ handgun and results in a factory finish. The grip will fit the Springfield Armory XD .45 ACP handgun and is not recommended for the XDM frames or for the Mod2 45 series.
