The Springfield XD (eXtreme Duty) is the base model of the XD series. The XD is a ergonomic, easy to operate, safe defensive and competitive shooting weapon. It comes in four sizes subcompact 3", compact 4", service 4" and a 5" tactical model. Standard features included with the base model XD, and all XD variants, include 3-dot steel sites, double-stack magazines, and few other ancillary features such as grip safety and an advanced trigger mechanism. While Springfield touts a polymer-frame and striker-fired firing mechanism as the salient features of the XD, it's important to know that not all XD models include these features.
