What’s Included
- Springfield Armory-branded soft zippered pistol case

The first-generation XD-S 3.3 configuration is identifiable by the absence of a Mod.2 rollmark and the lack of front slide serrations. Its forged steel slide wears a black Melonite finish, matched to a 3.3 in cold hammer forged, Melonite-treated barrel designed for longevity in a micro-sized .45 ACP platform.
Controls and features are streamlined for carry and straightforward operation: a striker-fired action, ambidextrous magazine release, external extractor, rear cocking serrations, and a single-slot accessory rail. Safety elements include a grip safety, trigger safety, and a loaded chamber witness port at the top of the slide.
The sighting system pairs a fiber-optic red front with a steel, dovetailed rear for a clear, durable sight picture. The frame is polymer with aggressive texturing to aid purchase, and a dual recoil spring assembly supports reliable cycling in the compact format.
Manufactured by HS Produkt in Croatia and marked "Springfield Armory U.S.A." and "Made in Croatia," this pistol falls within Springfield’s 2013 XD-S 3.3 voluntary safety-recall range XS500000–XS686300. It remains a concise, single-stack .45 with proven materials and a carry-focused feature set.
