Overview

The Springfield XDS Mod.2 40 S&W 3.3 single stack pistol with fiber optic front sight is a refined evolution of the original XDS line. Chambered in .40 S&W, it offers a balance of stopping power and magazine capacity in a frame that disappears under a t-shirt.

This pistol is built around Springfield’s proven reliability, with a forged steel barrel and a polymer frame that stands up to daily carry abuse. The single stack magazine design keeps the grip thin and comfortable, making it one of the most popular choices for shooters who prioritize concealment without sacrificing a full firing grip.

• Best suited for: Shooters who prioritize a thin grip, bright sights, and the .40 S&W cartridge’s balance of speed and diameter.
