For 2016, Springfield now introduces the XDS 40 S&W Essentials Package , so you can choose the mix of power and capacity that makes you comfortable. Like the originals, the new XDS .40SW comes with both flush (six-round) and Mid-Mag (seven-round) magazines, so capacity of the new .40SW model sits right between that of the 9MM and .45ACP XD-S®.
Springfield contains all of the basics you need for your XDS 3.3-inch 40 S&W Black - minus the ammo, of course. This slimmed down package includes your pistol, two magazines, two interchangeable backstraps that allow you to custom fit your grip, a cable lock, and a bore brush, all inside of a lockable hard case. The two magazines that come with your XDS 40 S&W Black Essentials Package include one 6-round flush-fitting magazine, along with Springfield’s brand new 7-round Mid-Mag with the X-Tension grip sleeve.
I find that the handgun is well made and compact. It is personally difficult to cock and to lock the barrel. 40 Cal sure packs a wallop.
Great shooter. Better price. Very happy. Thanks.
Easily one of the smoothest pistols I have ever fired in 40S&W! Flawless design and fit/function...I couldn't believe the price that Sportsmans Outdoor had on the pistol!! I even had to check back with customer service to confirm that I was still getting the price and they told me YES!! Shipping was very easy and receipt even better. I will continue to buy all of my firearms from Sportsmans...they are the best.
