At a competitive price point, this Springfield XDS 3.3 9mm FDE Essentials Package (manufacturer sample) offers a cost-effective entry into a proven platform.

Overview

The Springfield XDS 3.3 9mm FDE Essentials Package (manufacturer sample) is built around the single-stack design that made the XDS line a favorite among concealed carriers.

The manufacturer sample designation simply means it may have minor handling marks from being displayed, but all mechanical functions are factory-fresh. You get the same forged steel barrel, the same striker-fired trigger, and the same grip texture that provides a locked-in feel.
