Features & Specs

The Springfield XDS 3.3 45 ACP Stainless Pistol with Stippling on Grip (Manufacturer Sample) includes the core design elements that define the XDS series. The stainless slide and barrel are paired with a black polymer frame. The grip stippling is applied directly to the frame texture pattern, providing a positive purchase surface. The pistol uses a single-stack magazine for a slim profile, measuring 0.9 inches wide. Sights are a low-profile front and rear dovetail setup. The trigger system is a short-reset trigger with a trigger safety blade.

• Stainless steel slide and barrel with corrosion-resistant finish
• Factory-applied grip stippling on the frame frontstrap and backstrap
• Includes one 5-round flush-fit magazine and one 6-round extended magazine

Additional specifications include a loaded chamber indicator, a visual and tactile cocked striker indicator, and a grip safety integrated into the backstrap. The pistol uses a recoil spring assembly designed specifically for the .45 ACP cartridge. This manufacturer sample is functionally identical to standard production XDS pistols, with the grip stippling applied during the manufacturing process rather than aftermarket modification.

• Grip stippling pattern: factory-origin, consistent texture across frame
• Sight radius: 5.0 inches, fixed low-profile combat sights
• Frame material: black polymer with integral accessory rail

Who It’s For

This Springfield XDS 3.3 45 ACP Stainless Pistol with Stippling on Grip (Manufacturer Sample) is appropriate for shooters seeking a compact .45 ACP pistol for personal defense or concealed carry. The single-stack magazine design keeps the grip thin, while the 3.3-inch barrel balances concealability with ballistic performance. The factory stippling benefits users who prefer an aggressive texture for recoil management without adding grip tape or sleeves. This variant is also suited for collectors or shooters interested in factory-origin sample pieces that retain full standard parts compatibility.
