Springfield XDS 3.3 45 ACP Stainless Pistol With Stippling On Grip (Manufacturer Sample)

Overview

When you pick up the Springfield XDS 3.3 45 ACP Stainless Pistol with Stippling on Grip (Manufacturer Sample), the first thing you notice is how it sits in your hand. This is a single-stack 45 that disappears on the hip but still delivers full-power terminal ballistics. The stainless slide and barrel give it a clean, corrosion-resistant look that holds up to daily carry sweat and range sessions. The real standout here is the grip: the factory stippling provides a locked-in purchase without being abrasive against your cover garment. As a manufacturer sample, this pistol has been through Springfield’s own quality checks and may show minor handling marks from trade shows or photography. It functions exactly to spec, and it gives you a chance to own a proven carry piece at a significant value.

The springfield xds 3.3 45 acp stainless pistol with stippling on grip (manufacturer sample) is chambered in a caliber that has defended lives for over a century. With a 3.3-inch barrel and a compact frame, it balances concealability with shootability. The stainless finish resists holster wear, and the fiber optic front sight pulls your eye to the target quickly. Whether you are a seasoned carrier or looking to step up to 45 ACP for the first time, this pistol gives you a reliable tool without the premium price tag of a new-in-box example.

Features & Specs

Springfield Armory built this pistol for everyday reliability. The stainless steel slide is paired with a forged carbon steel frame, and the Melonite finish on the internal parts adds extra durability. The trigger breaks cleanly at around 5.5 to 6 pounds, and the grip safety gives you an extra layer of security during reholstering. Here are the key specs you need to know:

• Caliber: 45 ACP | Capacity: 5+1 rounds with flush-fit magazine, 6+1 with extended magazine | Barrel Length: 3.3 inches stainless steel
• Sights: Fiber optic front, low-profile combat rear (drift adjustable for windage) | Overall Length: 6.3 inches | Weight: 21.5 ounces unloaded
• Grip: Factory stippled polymer with interchangeable backstraps (two sizes included) | Finish: Satin stainless slide, black polymer frame

Because this is a manufacturer sample, you may notice very light handling wear on the slide or grip from being handled at events. The mechanical function, barrel, and lockup are identical to a new production pistol. This springfield xds 3.3 45 acp stainless pistol with stippling on grip (manufacturer sample) comes with one flush-fit magazine, a cable lock, and a soft case. It does not include the factory box or paperwork, but all critical components are present.

Who It’s For

This pistol is for the shooter who wants a slim 45 for concealed carry without spending retail. If you carry AIWB or at 4 o’clock, the short grip and tapered slide make it easy to conceal under a t-shirt. The 45 ACP recoil is manageable thanks to the dual recoil spring system, and the stippled grip means your hand stays put during rapid strings. It also suits someone building a collection of Springfield Armory pistols and looking for a clean manufacturer sample to round out a display or safe. Law enforcement officers and security professionals who prefer the 45 ACP cartridge will appreciate the familiar XD safety system and the stainless finish that resists sweat and moisture. Just keep in mind that this is a single-stack design, so magazine capacity is lower than double-stack 9mm options. The trade-off is a thinner grip that fits smaller hands well.
