![]() ![]() Lift the lid on the box, and the interior contains a zippered black nylon pouch, also logo’d, that contains the pistol and magazines, a separate compartment under a folded cardboard lid for the mandatory lock and accessories, and some “Defend Your Legacy” moto ad copy on the inside of the box lid thanking you for your patronage. And when we say “open the box,” we mean that very literally, because the packaging for the XD-S Mod.2 OSP is a semigloss black cardboard box, about the right size for a personal pizza, except with the Springfield crossed-cannons logo instead of a Domino’s one. So, is the classic micro single-stack still relevant in the age of the Hellcat? Springfield Armory sure seems to think it is, so let’s open the box and find out. However, since its a single stack, it only has a capacity of 7+1, which other competitors shines in this category.The red-dot cut precludes the usual XD loaded chamber indicator, so you get a witness hole instead. Since the grip is shortened, this makes the XD-S highly concealable. Recoil on the XD-S is minimal while maintaining a sure grip while firing multiple, rapid rounds and not have to adjust the grip is a good thing. Multiple factors like the frame and grip enabling good control of the pistol while it cycles through contributes in making it accurate. The XD-S is very accurate subcompact pistol. Other types of ball or JHP cycles well without a hitch. The polymer tip on the round tended to get caught on the bottom of the feed ramp. Running it through 135-grain Hornady Critical Duty rounds produced failures to feed. Usually, this was due to specific ammunition. ![]() Most shooters who have put over 2000 rounds say that only one malfunction had occurred. Rather, the XD-S is made with a single-stack subcompact pistol when you only want to own one carry gun that can be for any carry context. The XD-S 3.3″ 9mm belongs to a specific category of carry pistols and is not meant to be compared with other compact double-stack 9mm pistols like the Glock 19 or a Sig P250. When compared to revolvers, you may have a little more firepower. 45 (7+1 or 9+1 with the 9mm model) may discourage some. While its 5+1 (or 7+1 with extended magazines) capacity in. Some gun hobbyist think lightweight guns aren’t always a good thing most shooters will almost always shoot heavier guns due to control. While the weight might seem a bit stout when compared to the competition, don’t worry the weight helps it feel authoritative in the hand, yet it’s still light enough to be carried comfortably everyday. 6.3 inches long overall (barrel length is 3.3 in) and only 4.4 inches high, the XD-S is certainly small enough to hide in your pocket or slip into a purse.Single stack design, the XD-S has a frame that’s less than one inch wide (0.95 inches, to be exact).Physically, the XD-S sits right in between traditional compact pistols (like a Glock 30) and true subcompacts like the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard or Ruger LCP.The Springfield Armory XD-S is a compact, polymer-framed, striker-fired single stack pistol.Here are some reasons that Springfield may just have produced a winner. What do you all think, is the Springfield Armory’s slim little pocket rocket the best CCW pistol out there? Now, polymer-framed, striker-fired compacts are a popular choice, along with compact 1911s and snub-nosed revolvers. The early 90s saw the introduction of the compact Glock, and just a few years later the gun industry was flooded with. In the 80s, the Walther PPK ruled the roost, unless you were into revolvers.
