Laserspeed Subcompact Adjustable Green Dot Laser Sight

Materials –This laser is a reputable brand and is made of high-quality fiber-reinforced nylon PA 66 and MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail. So it’s tough and convenient to carry anywhere. This laser sight is adaptable, as it is made for a range of firearms. It is specifically suited for your Springfield XDS. It produces a green laser beam that is suitable for daytime use. Another benefit is that it has a built-in rechargeable battery that can be charged with a USB Type-C charger. This is useful because it has a continuous run time of 1.5 hours and a pulse run time of 2.5 hours. So it will last as long as you need it for your shooting experience. 

Performance – This laser is convenient to use because it is light and features an ambidextrous mode. It’s also suitable for any compact or subcompact weapon. Allowing you to utilize it from the rest of your arsenal. It’s also widely used by the military and law enforcement during daytime operations. Which is very beneficial to them. They can be used for some civilian purposes, such as hunting and self-defense. This laser sight is superb. They’re as good as iron sights for close-range shooting in full daylight. And we’ve found that utilizing a laser enhances our accuracy. Especially with short-barreled defensive pistols. 

What we say – LaserSpeed subcompact laser sight is the best laser for individuals who enjoy hunting and self-defense. This laser is extremely adaptable. It may be utilized as a compact or subcompact gun, allowing for a wide range of applications. Overall, it’s worthwhile to give it a try.

Amberide IWB KYDEX Gun Holster

Materials –  The Amberide IWB Holster is made of tough.08 Kydex which is both strong and light, allowing you to have a comfortable and confident carry in any situation. This holster is also waterproof and washable, making it very easy to clean when it gets dirty. It is made of stainless steel, bolt-around material and has an audible retention lock system. It was created with left-handed users in mind. Another useful feature of the Amberdie holster is that it has a sweat guard that runs the length of the slide, making it suitable for folks who are likely to sweat a lot. This holster fits Sig Sauer, Springfield XD-S 3.3″ 9mm/.40S&W/.45ACP and offers excellent concealment.

Performance – The cant of the 1.5-inch standard belt clip can be adjusted with this holster. It comes with a Phillips screwdriver for faster draw speeds and better underwear concealment. Furthermore, the stainless steel hardware is black powder-coated and can be adjusted from 0 to 15 degrees. It also has a retention pressure that can be adjusted. This holster is adaptable because you can tighten the retention screw before going for a walk and loosen it afterwards.

What we say – The Amberide IWB Holster is reasonably priced and provides good value for money. This holster is made entirely in the United States, and the veteran-owned company backs it up with a full lifetime guarantee.

Pearce Grips Grip Extension

Materials – Pearce Grips’ grip extensions are made of high-impact rubber, which can withstand intense temperatures and avoid cracking or fracturing when dropped. The grip can accommodate the 9mm and .40 models of the XD Mod 2, but it will not fit the .45 ACP models, unfortunately. You’ll have more control and comfort in your hand when shooting if you expand the short grip on your Mod 2. Being designed specifically for the Springfield XD series gives it an overall streamlined appearance. This is ideal for concealed carry while also maintaining a discrete overall profile.

Performance – A sub-compact handgun’s lightweight and small size is appealing, but that doesn’t mean the grip will fit comfortably in your hand. With a grip extender, you can quickly remove your XD Mod 2 from its holster without having to fumble around. Obviously, the shooting precision will improve as well. The original grip has a good ergonomic design and this extension only enhances this. Despite the fact that Pearce Grips has a near-monopoly on grip extensions, they won’t match every variant of the XD Mod 2, so read the description carefully. You’ll have the most luck with the 9mm and.40 models.

What we say – The Pearce Grip extensions are the best XD Mod 2 accessory for those who have the sub-compact model, but they still need the grip to fit in their larger hands. This is also the cheapest accessory to choose from within this review.

DefendTek Rechargeable Tactical LED Gun Flashlight

Materials –The tactical flashlight from DefendTek is a 300 lumen beam of light installed in an aircraft-grade aluminum body. It has been sealed to keep dust and moisture out. The flashlight is simple to mount on your XD Mod 2’s accessory rail, and it’s also simple to remove using the fast detach levers. A recoil resist bolt will keep this accessory well in place. You can switch between two flashlight modes: constant on or strobing. A rechargeable battery and a battery charger are included in the kit, so you’ll never have to worry about running out of power or carrying spare batteries. This option will not work with subcompact handguns, but it will work with service and full-size pistols.

Performance – An LED flashlight is the perfect accessory for you if you use your Springfield XD Mod 2 for more tactical purposes. The flashlight can, of course, be used for self-defense, but it will not work in the sub-compact models. More power to you if you use the full-sized model for concealed carry. The quick-detach levers on this flashlight are fantastic, and 300 lumens is a good amount of light for a small tactical flashlight. We believe that no tactical light is complete without a strobing mode, which gets a “thumbs up” from us. Since this little guy is shock-resistant, you should expect it to last a long time.

What we say – The tactical flashlight from DefendTek is one of the best XD Mod 2 accessories for anyone with the four-inch or five-inch handguns. Tactical or self-defense, you’re in good hands with this light.

Truglo TFO Handgun Sight Set

Materials – This pair of Truglo night sights are a perfect XD Mod 2 update to replace the pistol’s original red fiber optic sight. A front and rear sight are included in the package. Three Swiss tritium inserts are housed inside the sights: two in the back and one in the front. For easy target acquisition, the front tritium insert glows a bright green color. Two yellow tritium inserts are housed in the rear sight, which contrasts with the front insert for fast targeting. The yellow is also meant to be better on the eyes so that the shooter’s vision isn’t hampered at night. The rear sight is in a classic U-notch shape, and both sights are low profile to accommodate XD Mod 2 holsters.

Performance – The Springfield XD Mod 2 pistol does come equipped with a fiber optic scope. We’re not saying that it isn’t good enough, but tritium night sights will take your gun to the next level. Although these fiber optics aren’t very visible at night, the contrasting yellow and green dots can help you easily lock on to your target in any lighting situation. The use of yellow inserts in the rear sight is particularly thoughtful. This way, you won’t have brightly glowing dots right in front of your eyes, causing you to squint, especially at night. Unfortunately, the inserts do not have painted circles around them, but you can still buy a cheap bottle of picture luminescent paint and paint them on yourself.

What we say – The Truglo night sights are one of the best XD Mod 2 upgrades for those who think the original fiber optic sight just doesn’t cut it. Acquire your target with no problem during both day and night.
