Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample)

The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) offers a slim, concealable platform in a powerful defensive caliber. Built on Springfield Armory’s proven single-stack design, this striker-fired pistol delivers reliable performance in a compact frame. The manufacturer sample designation indicates this unit was used for promotional or display purposes but remains in functional condition as a factory-built firearm.

Overview

The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) combines a 4.0-inch barrel with a thin-profile grip for comfortable concealed carry. The single-stack magazine design keeps the frame width minimal while still providing a full firing grip. Chambered in .45 ACP, this pistol delivers significant stopping power in a package that prints less than many 9mm competitors. The black Melonite finish provides corrosion resistance and a low-glare appearance. As a manufacturer sample, this model represents the same engineering and quality control as standard production units.

The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) weighs approximately 23 ounces unloaded, making it one of the lighter .45 ACP pistols in its class. The barrel is fully supported and designed for consistent accuracy at defensive distances. The frame uses a high-strength polymer with interchangeable backstraps to fit different hand sizes.

Who It’s For

This firearm suits the concealed carrier who prioritizes a thin profile but demands .45 ACP terminal performance. The 4.0-inch barrel provides a longer sight radius than subcompact models while still being manageable for daily carry under a t-shirt or light jacket. Shooters with smaller hands will appreciate the single-stack grip thickness. The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) is also appropriate for home defense or as a vehicle gun where size and weight matter. Law enforcement officers seeking an off-duty or backup pistol will find the slim dimensions and familiar manual of arms advantageous. It is not designed for competition or high-volume range use due to limited magazine capacity and recoil impulse in .45 ACP.

• Ideal for deep concealment under light clothing due to sub-1-inch frame width
• Suitable for shooters who prefer the .45 ACP cartridge for defensive purposes
• Works for those requiring a single-stack magazine for reduced grip circumference
