When you pick up the Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample), the first thing you notice is how it disappears against your hip.

Chambered in .45 ACP, it packs serious defensive power into a slim, single-stack frame that conceals effortlessly under a t-shirt or light jacket. This is a manufacturer sample, meaning it is a brand-new firearm that arrives in the factory box, ready to transfer to your local FFL. If you have been looking for a reliable, thin .45 that you can actually carry daily, this Springfield Armory offering deserves a close look.

Overview

The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) represents a refined balance between firepower and concealability. Springfield Armory took the proven XD platform and slimmed it down for deep concealment, then chambered it in .45 ACP for terminal performance that stops threats cold. The 4.0-inch barrel provides a longer sight radius for improved accuracy without making the grip too long to hide. The black finish is low-profile and durable, matching the no-nonsense intent of this pistol. Whether you are upgrading from a smaller caliber or adding a dedicated carry piece to your rotation, this XDS delivers the confidence that comes with a .45 in a package you can actually carry.

Features & Specs

This Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) is built around a forged steel slide and a polymer frame with an integral locking system. The single-stack magazine gives you a slim grip profile that measures just under an inch wide, making it one of the thinnest .45 ACP pistols on the market. The trigger features a short reset and a crisp break, which aids in fast follow-up shots despite the round’s recoil. The slide is serrated front and rear for positive manipulation, and the dovetailed sights are low-profile to reduce snagging on clothing. The frame includes an accessory rail for a light or laser if you prefer to run it as a nightstand gun as well.

• Caliber: .45 ACP with a 4.0-inch hammer-forged barrel for accuracy and longevity
• Capacity: Single-stack magazine holding 7 rounds, with an optional extended 8-round magazine included
• Safety: Grip safety plus a trigger safety for secure carry without a manual safety to fumble with
• Finish: Black melonite slide and black polymer frame for corrosion resistance and low glare
• Sights: Low-profile three-dot sights, steel dovetailed front and rear
• Weight: Approximately 23 ounces unloaded, keeping it light for all-day carry

Who It’s For

The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) is built for the shooter who refuses to compromise on caliber for the sake of concealment. If you have carried a 9mm and wanted more punch, or if you simply prefer the .45 ACP round for its proven track record, this pistol gives you that power in a package that hides as well as many 9mm single stacks. It is also a solid choice for shooters with smaller hands who struggle with double-stack .45s, as the single-stack grip is much easier to wrap your hand around. If you are a civilian carrier, an off-duty officer, or anyone who needs a reliable deep-concealment option that hits hard, this XDS fits the bill without the bulk of a full-size service pistol.
