Overview of the Ring's BlueGuns Springfield XD-M 40 4.5" | FSXDM40
Realistic XD-M Training Without Live-Fire Risk
The Ring's BlueGuns Springfield XD-M 40 4.5" (FSXDM40 series) is an inert training replica of the Springfield Armory XD-M 4.5-inch pistol in .40 S&W. Ring's Manufacturing states that its BlueGuns are cast to the exact size and dimensions of the firearm they represent, so this training gun fits the same holsters and handles like your duty or carry pistol.
A live pistol has no place in a disarm drill, a scenario house, or a crowded classroom. This solid polyurethane trainer lets recruits, partners, and students grab, retain, and draw at full speed with no chamber to clear and nothing to fire.

Key Features
-
Exact-size replica: Ring's states its BlueGuns match the size and dimensions of the real firearm, which is why holster and accessory makers use them for fitting and display.
-
Inert, solid construction: one-piece polyurethane casting with no moving parts and no ability to fire.
-
Impact-resistant polyurethane: stands up to repeated drops, strikes, and grabs during defensive tactics training.
-
Weighted option: weighted versions add heft closer to a real XD-M for more realistic draw and retention practice.
-
Blue or black: blue marks the item as a trainer at a glance; black suits holster fitting, photography, and realistic scenarios.

Made in the USA: produced by Ring's Manufacturing.

Compatibility
-
Holsters: made for holsters cut for the Springfield Armory XD-M with a 4.5-inch barrel in .40 S&W. Some retailers also list it for the 9mm XD-M 4.5 frame, so check your holster maker's fit chart.
-
Not a match for: the XD-M 3.8 compact, the XD-M 5.25 competition model, the original XD, or the XD-S. For those pistols, choose the Ring's BlueGuns Springfield XD9 4" trainer, the Ring's BlueGuns Springfield XD45, or the Ring's BlueGuns Springfield XDS 3.3".
-
No light or laser: this model has no weapon light attached, so it will not seat in a light-bearing holster.
-
Training only: it cannot fire live rounds, blanks, or marking cartridges, and it does not accept magazines.
-
Environments: classrooms, mat rooms, scenario villages, vehicle training, and holster shops.
Intended Users
Police academy staff and firearms instructors use this trainer for weapon retention, disarm, and draw drills where a real pistol would add risk. Patrol officers, sheriff's deputies, and corrections officers who carry an XD-M can practice holster draws and retention at home or in defensive tactics class.
Security guard trainers and use of force instructors use it in force on force scenarios. Holster makers and leatherworkers use it to mold and fit holsters without exposing a real gun to heat and pressure. Civilian concealed carriers and self-defense students can rehearse their draw and practice safely without risking their real firearm.
