The XD-S 3.3 is a micro-size, striker-fired .45 ACP pistol with a compact 3.3-inch barrel and a slim profile. This example is the first-generation, pre-Mod.2 variant, identified by its original 3.3-inch configuration and matching component numbers.
Construction highlights include a hammer-forged steel barrel and a black Melonite-finished slide. The slide is equipped with cocking serrations, an external extractor, and a loaded chamber indicator. The polymer frame is finished in black with aggressive texturing for a secure hold.
Controls and safety features are well-sorted: a grip safety, a trigger safety, and an ambidextrous magazine release. Sighting is straightforward and fast with a red fiber-optic front sight paired to a low-profile dovetailed rear.
Markings reflect its manufacture and import: "MADE IN CROATIA" and "SPRINGFIELD ARMORY U.S.A." The included magazine set provides both 5-round and 7-round options (capacity listed at 7+1), and the factory hard case and spare backstraps round out a complete, ready-to-go package. Part number XDS93345B on the case label confirms this specific variant.
