Springfield XDS 3.3 45 ACP Stainless Pistol with Stippling on Grip (Manufacturer Sample)

Overview

The Springfield XDS 3.3 45 ACP Stainless Pistol with Stippling on Grip (Manufacturer Sample) delivers a compact, single-stack .45 ACP platform engineered for personal defense. This manufacturer sample variant features a factory-applied stippled grip texture for enhanced control without the need for aftermarket modification. The 3.3-inch stainless steel barrel and slide provide corrosion resistance while maintaining the slim profile that defines the XDS series. Designed for shooters who prioritize concealability without sacrificing caliber performance, this pistol chambered in .45 ACP offers proven terminal ballistics in a package that carries easily.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: .45 ACP with a 3.3-inch stainless steel barrel and single-stack magazine capacity of 5 rounds for a slim, concealable grip profile
• Factory stippling on the grip texture provides a secure, non-slip surface for consistent hand placement during rapid fire or adverse conditions
• Stainless steel slide and barrel construction with a Melonite finish for corrosion resistance and reduced maintenance requirements

The Springfield XDS 3.3 45 ACP Stainless Pistol with Stippling on Grip (Manufacturer Sample) includes a fiber optic front sight and a low-profile rear sight for quick target acquisition. The trigger system features a short reset and a crisp break at approximately 5.5 to 6.5 pounds. Overall length measures 6.3 inches with an unloaded weight of 21.5 ounces, making this one of the lighter .45 ACP options in its class. The manufacturer sample designation indicates this unit was produced for demonstration purposes and may exhibit minor handling marks from industry shows or retailer display. It functions identically to production models and includes one 5-round magazine.

Who It’s For

This pistol suits the concealed carrier who wants a .45 ACP in a compact frame without extended grip length. The stippled texture benefits shooters who experience hand fatigue with smooth polymer frames or who require maximum purchase during recoil management. Law enforcement personnel seeking a backup or off-duty option will appreciate the stainless construction for sweat and moisture resistance. Collectors and value-conscious buyers should note this manufacturer sample offers the same mechanical reliability as standard production XDS pistols at a reduced cost due to its demo status. It is not recommended for shooters who require high magazine capacity or those who prefer factory smooth grips for pocket carry without a holster.
