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

When you pick up the Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample), you immediately notice the balance. This is a pistol built for concealed carry without the usual trade-offs in caliber or control. The 4.0-inch barrel gives you a longer sight radius than the original XDS, which translates to better accuracy at the range, yet it still tucks away under a cover garment without printing. As a manufacturer sample, this unit comes directly from Springfield Armory’s production line, often used for dealer display inventory or marketing evaluation. It is mechanically identical to standard retail models, just with a slightly different SKU designation in our system. If you want a 45ACP that carries like a 9mm but hits with authority, this is your piece.

Overview

The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) is a striker-fired, single-stack pistol designed for people who refuse to compromise on stopping power for the sake of concealability. Chambered in 45ACP, it holds 5+1 rounds in the flush magazine and comes with an extended 6-round magazine for a full grip option. The black Melonite finish on the slide and frame resists holster wear and corrosion, keeping this piece looking sharp even after years of daily carry. The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) includes the factory-installed fiber optic front sight and low-profile rear sight, giving you fast target acquisition in varied lighting.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: 45ACP with a 4.0-inch hammer-forged barrel, carbon steel with Melonite finish for longevity and accuracy.
• Capacity: Single-stack magazine holds 5 rounds flush, plus an included extended 6-round magazine for backup.
• Weight: 23 ounces unloaded, making it light enough for all-day appendix carry but heavy enough to tame 45ACP recoil.

The grip texture on the Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) is aggressive without being abrasive. It locks into your hand even if your palms are sweaty from a summer range session. The trigger breaks clean around 5.5 to 6 pounds with a short reset, letting you stay on target for follow-up shots. Springfield Armory includes two magazine pouches and a paddle holster in the box, so you have a complete carry setup right out of the packaging.

Who It’s For

This pistol is for the shooter who understands that 45ACP in a slim frame is a proven formula for personal defense. If you have larger hands and find subcompact 9mm frames too cramped, the Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) gives you a full-length grip with the extended magazine and a trigger guard that accommodates gloved fingers. It is also an excellent choice for someone transitioning from a full-size 1911 who wants a lighter, more modern carry option without switching calibers. Experienced shooters will appreciate the natural pointability of the XDS platform, while new concealed carriers will benefit from the intuitive manual safety and grip safety that provide extra layers of security during holster reholstering.
