Overview

The Springfield Armory XDS 3.3 is a striker-fired, single-action semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm. The “3.3” denotes the 3.3-inch hammer-forged steel barrel, which balances barrel length for ballistics with a compact overall slide profile. The frame is constructed from a high-strength polymer textured with the signature XDS grip pattern for positive purchase. This Essentials Package variant omits the standard fiber optic front sight, replacing it with a low-profile white dot front and tactical rack rear sight. The Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish is applied to the slide and frame components, providing corrosion resistance and a low-glare tactical appearance. As a manufacturer sample, this unit is identical in internal specifications to a retail production model.
