What It Means for Gun Owners
At $399, the XD Mod.4 OSP puts an optics-ready striker-fired 9mm in a low price range. Buyers who want a red dot will need to buy the OSP plates separately, since the release does not say whether they are included with the pistol.
Bottom Line
The XD Mod.4 OSP is an update to a long-running XD design, aimed at shooters who want an optics-ready 9mm at a budget price. Check the company's listings for plate availability and confirm the magazine configuration you need for your area.
