Springfield XDS 3.3 Single Stack 9mm Blue Essentials Package (Manufacturer Sample)

The Springfield XDS 3.3 Single Stack 9mm Blue Essentials Package (Manufacturer Sample) represents a refined entry point into the micro-compact pistol segment, combining the proven reliability of the XD series with a slim, single-stack frame optimized for deep concealment. As a manufacturer sample, this unit is a factory-new firearm that has been designated as a sample for dealer inventory purposes, carrying the same engineering and mechanical specifications as standard retail models. The “Blue” finish denotes a traditional carbon steel slide with a blued surface treatment, offering a classic aesthetic and corrosion resistance.

Overview

The Springfield XDS 3.3 is built around a 3.3-inch hammer-forged barrel, a steel slide, and a high-strength polymer frame. This model is chambered in 9x19mm and utilizes a single-stack magazine configuration to achieve a grip circumference that remains comfortable for shooters with smaller hands while still allowing for controlled recoil. The Essentials Package includes two magazines, a paddle-style belt holster, a magazine pouch, and a cable lock, providing a complete carry solution out of the box. As a manufacturer sample, this item is sold without the original factory packaging but remains in new, unsold condition.

The slide features front and rear cocking serrations for positive manipulation, and the loaded chamber indicator provides a visual and tactile confirmation of a round in the chamber. The grip texture employs a high-relief pattern to secure the hand even under adverse conditions.
