A high-capacity detachable magazine for the Springfield Armory XD(M) pistol chambered in .45 ACP, this accessory provides substantially more rounds per load than standard magazines, typically holding over 50 rounds. This design uses a cylindrical housing, often made of polymer or metal, to store the ammunition, which is fed into the pistol’s action via a spring-loaded mechanism.
Extended capacity magazines offer the advantage of reduced reloading frequency during shooting activities such as competitive shooting or self-defense training. This can be beneficial in situations where rapid, sustained fire is required. Historically, large-capacity magazines have been subject to debate and regulation due to concerns regarding their potential use in crime. The legality of possessing such devices varies depending on jurisdiction.
