The Springfield Armory XD-S delivers single-stack concealed carry performance in a striker-fired platform engineered for everyday protection. This compact 9mm combines a slim profile with full-size reliability, making it an ideal choice for concealed carry permit holders seeking dependable stopping power without bulk.
What Makes This Different
The XD-S features Springfield's proven Safe Action trigger system with three independent safety mechanisms, eliminating the need for manual safeties while preventing accidental discharge. Its single-stack magazine design creates a grip width of just 0.9 inches, significantly slimmer than double-stack alternatives. The stainless steel slide provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel finishes, extending service life in humid environments.
