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

The Springfield XDS 4.0 Single Stack 45ACP Black (Manufacturer Sample) represents a precise balance of concealability and defensive power. As a manufacturer sample, this unit has been used for demonstration, trade show display, or marketing photography purposes. It is sold in as-is condition with no factory box or paperwork, but retains full mechanical functionality. This is a genuine Springfield Armory product chambered in .45 ACP, engineered for shooters who demand a thin profile without sacrificing the terminal performance of a full-power defensive cartridge.

Overview

Built on Springfield Armory’s proven single-stack platform, the springfield xds 4.0 single stack 45acp black (manufacturer sample) delivers a 4-inch barrel length in a frame designed for deep concealment. The single-stack magazine reduces grip width to just 0.9 inches, making it one of the slimmest .45 ACP pistols available. The manufacturer sample designation indicates this unit was used for professional presentation and evaluation, offering a cost-conscious alternative to a new-in-box pistol while retaining all original design specifications. The black Melonite finish provides corrosion resistance and a low-glare tactical appearance.

Features & Specs

• Caliber and Capacity: Chambered in .45 ACP with a single-stack magazine capacity of 5+1 rounds. The grip texture and magazine well geometry facilitate rapid reloads despite the reduced frame width.
• Sight System: Equipped with a dovetail front sight and a low-profile rear sight. The sight radius on the 4.0-inch barrel is optimized for precision at defensive distances. The slide is machined for optional optic mounting.
• Safety and Controls: Includes a grip safety, trigger safety, and a loaded chamber indicator. The slide stop and magazine release are fully ambidextrous. The trigger pull weight is factory-specified at 5.5 to 7.7 pounds.

The springfield xds 4.0 single stack 45acp black (manufacturer sample) features a forged carbon steel slide with a Melonite finish and a polymer frame with an integral locking insert. The barrel is hammer-forged and stainless steel. Overall length is 7.0 inches, height is 4.7 inches, and empty weight is 22 ounces. The recoil assembly uses a dual-spring system to manage the .45 ACP impulse within the compact frame.

Who It’s For

This pistol is suited for the concealed carrier who prioritizes a slim profile but insists on .45 ACP ballistics. The 4.0-inch barrel provides a longer sight radius and higher muzzle velocity than subcompact alternatives while remaining easily concealable under a cover garment. The manufacturer sample pricing makes this an attractive option for budget-conscious shooters who do not require retail packaging. Law enforcement officers, private security personnel, and civilian defensive shooters who prefer the single-stack grip width for appendix or inside-the-waistband carry will find the springfield xds 4.0 single stack 45acp black (manufacturer sample) meets their requirements. It is not recommended for competition use or high-volume range sessions due to the limited magazine capacity and single-stack design.
