Overview

This pistol is built on the proven XD platform, scaled down for deep concealment without sacrificing control. The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) uses a forged steel slide and a high-strength polymer frame. It is a striker-fired, semi-automatic handgun with a 4-inch barrel length, offering a longer sight radius than the 3.3-inch variants. The grip texture provides a positive hold, and the trigger pull is consistent. As a manufacturer sample, this unit was produced for dealer inventory and display, and it is fully functional with the same internal components as a standard production model.

Features & Specs

The key specifications for this firearm are derived from the Springfield Armory design specifications. The melonite finish on the slide resists corrosion and wear.

LEO and military personnel may find it suitable as an off-duty or backup weapon, though it is not marketed as a duty-grade firearm. This pistol is not designed for competition shooting or high-volume training due to its lower capacity.
