Features & Specs
The GripZone system is the standout feature on this Springfield Mod.2 40 S&W Sub-Compact Bi-Tone with GripZone (Compliant). Instead of a uniform stipple pattern, Springfield mapped the texture to match the natural pressure points of a shooter’s hand. The result is a secure hold that reduces muzzle flip during rapid fire. The slide features cocking serrations front and rear, making press checks easy even with wet hands. The trigger breaks cleanly at approximately 5.5 to 6 pounds, with a short reset that rewards fast follow-up shots.
- GripZone texture: engineered friction zones on the frontstrap, backstrap, and thumb rests
- Sights: low-profile carry dovetail front and rear with a white dot front for quick acquisition
- Magazine capacity: 9+1 rounds of .40 S&W, with two magazines included
- Frame: integral accessory rail for lights or lasers (standard Picatinny pattern)
- Safety: trigger safety, grip safety, and loaded chamber indicator
The sub-compact slide is machined from billet stainless steel and features a dual recoil spring assembly that soaks up recoil in a package that is only 1.2 inches wide. This makes the Springfield Mod.2 40 S&W Sub-Compact Bi-Tone with GripZone (Compliant) easy to conceal under a T-shirt or light cover garment, even during the Florida summer.
Who It’s For
This pistol is built for the Florida resident who wants a .40 S&W that carries like a 9mm. It is ideal for concealed carry permit holders who prefer the extra diameter of the .40 round for personal defense. The GripZone texture works well for shooters with larger hands who find slim guns difficult to control, as the molded palm swells fill the hand without adding bulk. It is also a strong option for law enforcement off-duty carry or security professionals who need a backup gun that matches their duty caliber. If you train regularly and want a sub-compact that can keep up with your skills, this Springfield Mod.2 delivers.
- Concealed carry permit holders in Florida looking for a reliable .40 S&W option
- Shooters who prioritize grip texture and recoil control in a small package
- Those who want a bi-tone finish that resists wear from holster draw and sweat
