The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) delivers the proven stopping power of .45 ACP in a slim, concealable platform. This manufacturer sample offers the same build quality and reliability as standard production models, making it a practical choice for shooters who demand controlled power in a compact frame. Chambered in .45 ACP with a 4.0-inch barrel, this single stack pistol reduces bulk without compromising on the ballistic performance expected from Springfield Armory.

Overview

The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) is designed for those who prioritize concealability and caliber. The single stack magazine keeps the grip thin, while the 4.0-inch barrel provides a longer sight radius for improved accuracy over shorter carry options. This manufacturer sample is functionally identical to standard XDS models, built on Springfield Armory’s trusted platform with a black Melonite finish for corrosion resistance. Whether for daily carry or home defense, this .45 ACP pistol offers a balance of power and portability that is hard to match.

Features & Specs

This pistol integrates key features that enhance control and reliability. The polymer frame with an integral locking insert reduces felt recoil, while the loaded chamber indicator and visual inspection port offer quick status checks. The following specifications define the springfield xds 4.0 single stack 45acp black (manufacturer sample):

• Caliber: .45 ACP, single stack magazine capacity (standard 5+1 or 6+1 with extended magazine)
• Barrel length: 4.0 inches, forged stainless steel with Melonite finish; overall length 7.3 inches
• Sights: Low-profile dovetail front and rear (white dot front, serrated rear); includes a Picatinny accessory rail

Additional features include a striker-fired action with a consistent trigger pull, a grip zone texture for secure handling, and a takedown lever that requires no pulling of the trigger for disassembly. The slide is machined from billet steel and finished in black Melonite, matching the frame’s black polymer.

Who It’s For

This springfield xds 4.0 single stack 45acp black (manufacturer sample) is intended for experienced shooters who want a slim .45 ACP for concealed carry or as a backup sidearm. It suits those who prefer a single stack grip for easier concealment under light clothing, without stepping down to a smaller caliber. The 4.0-inch barrel makes it suitable for both carry and range use, offering better velocity and accuracy than shorter-barreled subcompacts. This is not a beginner firearm; it is for the shooter who understands .45 ACP recoil and wants a reliable, service-grade pistol from a trusted manufacturer.

• Ideal for concealed carry due to thin profile and manageable weight (approx. 26 ounces unloaded)
• Suitable for competitive shooters in single stack divisions who want .45 ACP power
• Works for home defense where a full-size grip is not preferred but .45 ACP stopping power is still needed
