Overview

The Springfield XDS 3.3 45 ACP Stainless Pistol with Stippling on Grip (Manufacturer Sample) represents a specific production variant from Springfield Armory. This pistol is classified as a manufacturer sample, meaning it was produced for demonstration, evaluation, or marketing purposes and may exhibit limited handling marks consistent with its sample status. The stainless steel slide and barrel provide corrosion resistance, while the factory-applied stippling on the grip enhances traction without the need for aftermarket modification.

As a manufacturer sample, this unit may not include original factory packaging, but it is a functional firearm subject to standard FFL transfer procedures.
