Overview

The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) is a striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol engineered for concealed carry professionals and enthusiasts. This variant uses the 4-inch barrel length to maximize velocity from the .45 ACP cartridge while maintaining a slim profile suitable for IWB or OWB holsters.

It retains all original Springfield Armory components, including the forged steel slide and polymer frame with integral accessory rail.
