( 5 out of 5) Great every day carry firearm by Jesse from Minneapolis, MN on May 13, 2020 The XDS is more accurate than I can shoot, easily hitting silhouettes out to 25 yards. max indoor range lightweight and slim for concealment, given the right holster. I have small hands and still need the +1 magazine to seat my entire hand on the grip so I experienced a slight palm pinch hazard with mag changes. However even with +1 and +2 mags you get minimal printing which is what I believe this gun was designed for. trigger travel is a bit long compared to larger pistols, but very common for sub-compacts. Overall performs as well or better than its competitors in my opinion, 5,000+ rounds through it and not a single issue. Would definitely recommend purchasing

( 5 out of 5) Great and fast service. by Angela from Saint Louis, MO on May 3, 2018 Great service from Sportsman's. They had the lowest price, free shipping, and no transfer fee. I ordered this gun on 4/30 and received on 5/3. I only needed to pay the transfer fee at the FFL. I will definitely encourage friends and family to order from Sportsman!!

( 5 out of 5) Amazing store A++++ service by Khin from Piney Flats, TN on April 1, 2018 First time purchasing from SOSS and it was very fast shipping plus very good customer service.

( 5 out of 5) Performance by Tom from Nineveh, NY on March 14, 2018 I'm very happy with this purchase. It's as good as any of the rest in its class for performance and accuracy. I don't know to many pistols that come with a polished feed ramp. I put it right up there with my Glocks and I'm a Glock fan....

( 5 out of 5) Conceal Carry Pistol by Marcos from Chicago, IL on February 24, 2018 Best conceal carry pistol for around $400! Reliable, good round capacity, great safety features, and good sights. The 3.3 barrel is very accurate. I was able to hold 3-5 inch groups consistently at 25 yards with Blazer 124 grain 9mm ammo. My wife has the same pistol with a stainless steel slide and she loves it. Her only complaint is the trigger pull. It is a bit rigid for smaller handed shooters, but it serves its purpose. If the trigger were any lighter, it would be more dangerous to conceal without a manual thumb safety. Overall, I recommend this gun to anyone who wants something well made at a great price out of the box.

( 5 out of 5) Shipped Same Day as Ordered by Jeff from Slidell, LA on September 7, 2017 After reading several comments about slow delivery, decided to share my experience. Order placed on Friday morning and on the FedEx truck Friday night. Picked up XDS at dealer Tuesday morning.AAA+++

( 4 out of 5) Wait time by Robby from Bradenton, Florida on March 5, 2017 I can't say a single negative remark about this company. Customer service is great, and pricing and products are top notch. I will say i hear a lot of negativity from customers who are frustrated with the wait time, or turn around to receive their purchase, and I'm going to say with a business that has unbeatable prices, and you don't have patience in the processing procedures, then pay the $16.00 two day shipping with email alert tracking. Can't say enough about the products and company. 5 star business. ....

( 5 out of 5) Great XDS by Aaron from Houston, TX on February 16, 2017 Ordered the XDS 9mm 3.3 Essentials Kit about 2 months ago. With over 400 rounds fired, it performs flawlessly. The trigger & weight of this pistol is excellent. I've come to expect this with each of my Springfield pistols. The customer service & prices found at Sportsmans Outdoors are the best - period. More purchases will be made with SOSS indefinitely.

( 5 out of 5) Great CC gun by Gary from Kansas City, MO on January 31, 2017 I upgraded the trigger with a PRP and added a Crimson Trace laser, and can honestly say it's a great gun. I tried the Shield and found it cheap and lacking, not to mention failure issues. The XDS is great. I'd put it on par with a Glock 43. They are tops for conceal carry single stacks. If you're considering a Shield, think again; the XDS and G43 should be tops on your list with a Sig & Kimber. You get what you pay for.

( 5 out of 5) love this 9!!! by lance bennett from newton, IA on January 18, 2017 I live this XDS-9. Fits well, and will continue to buy Springfield weapons. Never had an issue, and will continue buying from Sportsman's.

( 1 out of 5) Unreliable by Harmon from Salt Lake City, UT on November 21, 2016 Like the ...Must have a dud.. reviews have consistent ftf light strikes and slide return problems over many range sessions. First, and last try with with expanding ammo was a lock up disaster. It's not a grip, lubrication or break in problem. Especially if none of four other brands semi-auto I own have no issue. Sent back to Springfield last week. Unlike older YouTube videos others posted with this problem, SA did not quibble about a service return. Will see what the results are and report back.

( 4 out of 5) Great little pistol, except for the trigger. by Rich from Plainfield, Il on November 7, 2016 This is my fourth Springfield & like the first three I put a Powder River Precision trigger in this one as well. I'm very fussy about triggers & the stock XDS trigger just sucks. If you buy this gun, do the trigger upgrade.

( 5 out of 5) Great buy. by Jeff from Phoenix, Arizona on October 30, 2016 Love the XDS 9mm. Seamless transaction with local FFL. Great price and I will buy from SOS again.

( 1 out of 5) Must Have a Dud.... by Len from Navarre, FL on July 28, 2016 Looks like I'm going to rain on the parade here. Most of these reviews seem to be on the seller I'm absolutely pleased with their performance rather than the pistol. I've had issues from day one. The slide fails to close sometimes, locking up about 1/8th of and inch short. I've also had a couple of failure-to-fire issues, where the firing pin strikes weakly and off-center. Again, it could be from the slide closing enough to release the striker, but not being completely closed. The mag release is also VERY stiff and difficult to operate. I have heard and read suggestions that such malfunctions are the result of improper grip or cheap ammo. BS. I have several other pistols, including an XD in .40 and another in 9mm, that eat the same ammo, that I grip the same, and I have no issues with them. I bought this because I was very pleased with my two XD models. Also, I'm not a big guy, and its a challenge concealing a double-stack when you're dressed for Florida summers. Rest assured, I won't be trusting my life to THIS weapon could you please stay right there with that knife while I check my grip Thanks! Proceed.... Again, I'm very pleased with Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore.com. As for Springfields, I don't think I'll buy another XDs - Ill stick with the XD line if the right deal comes along.

( 5 out of 5) Great company all around by Brian from Girard, PA on July 7, 2016 I own the XD Mod 2. 45 acp subcompact and the XDM 9mm 4 and now I just purchased the Kimber Micro Raptor 380. I own a total of 3 Springfield Armory weapons and they are all reliable and with over 1,800 rounds through all 3, different manufacturer but all USA, and only one malfunction which was on the bullet. So enjoy a great weapon with the reliability of Sportsman Outdoor Superstore! God Bless the USA and Springfield Armory!

( 5 out of 5) SLOW TO SHIP by John from Oklahoma City, OK on May 3, 2016 I chose free shipping like most people do. Most of the reviews said shipping was very fast. Not mine. I ordered at 9am on a Tuesday and it didn't even ship out until Friday. The gun itself is awesome but the slow shipping was not. It's still not enough to make me pay for faster shipping.

( 5 out of 5) xds 3.3 9mm by Tim from Coraopolis, PA on March 16, 2016 Ordered the gun on Saturday afternoon. After cancelling my order with a local gunstore as they were $100 higher and could not get the gun from their distributor. The XDS arrived 10 days later, on Tuesday. I wish the shipping had been faster, but it was free and the webpage said they were busier than normal and a delay should be expected. Anyway, very happy with the gun. Shoots great, easy to carry.

( 5 out of 5) This Gun Kicks Ass by Steven from Oklahoma City, OK on December 2, 2015 Added to my daughters collection. Same features as her XD Sub-Compact.



Add some Hi-Vis CAP sights. She loves it.

( 5 out of 5) SAME GREAT FEATURES AS MY OLD XD by Steve from OKC, OK on November 27, 2015 This was for my adult daughter for a carry gun. My reasoning was, it has the same loaded chamber indicator as her XD 9 Sub Compact.



Great design. I have big hands and with a Pearce grip extension on the larger capacity magazine it feels too big. Accurate. Dependable. It better be because I'm trusting her life to it.

( 5 out of 5) Springfield XDS 9mm 3.3 by Jason from Billings, MT on November 8, 2015 Great price. Fast shipping and easy to make an order online. I am very pleased with my purchase and would and am recommending this site to other friends from the range. Thanks!

( 5 out of 5) My daughter's new carry gun by Steve from OKC, Oklahoma on October 15, 2015 I added a set of the super high visibility CAP sights on it. With Pearce grip extensions even my large hand fits the small mag.



This is for sure a souped-up XD and it is accurate.



Best deal around, easily.

( 5 out of 5) Awesome Gun by Steve from Edmond, Oklahoma on October 11, 2015 For my daughter and she loves it. I added the CAP sights and it is sweet.

( 5 out of 5) Great Gun by Rich from Port Charlotte, Florida on October 3, 2015 Very nice gun for conceal carry.



Shoots & carries as expected. As far as Sportsmans Outdoors, they have been great. Best price and free fast shipping. Will deal with again.

( 5 out of 5) Great gun, great price, delivered fast by Mark from Cookeville, TN on August 26, 2015 I ordered the XDS 9mm on a Wednesday night and I picked it up at my FFL dealer on Monday. Very fast turnaround. The price was as good as I found anywhere and it was even better with no shipping charges and no taxes. It was such a good experience, I just ordered another one as a gift. I'm sure I'll get it just as fast as the last one.

( 5 out of 5) Perfect Transactioon - Love 9mm XDs by Bill from Sherwood, Arkansas on August 4, 2015 Never purchased a pistol online and was somewhat apprehensive.



Sportsmans made the transaction easy, fast, and without a hitch. The XDs was shipped the next day and arrived in perfect condition. Will definitely buy again from them - Their prices beat all of the stores around here by miles. They returned my call to them promptly.



PS the Springfield XDs is a great shooting weapon with super trigger pull.

( 5 out of 5) Great Little Gun by Shane from New Castle, VA on July 4, 2015 This gun was an upgrade for me from the G42. Although a little bigger this gun holds more rounds and is a 9mm instead of .380. The gun shoots great and has low recoil. Thanks SOSS and Springfield for your continuing to bring us great guns at great prices with great customer service!!

( 5 out of 5) Great product, price, and experience! by Nathan from Dixon, Illinois on June 1, 2015 XDS 9mm 3.3 essentials package. It doesn't come with the double magazine/pistol holsters, but I honestly never used either on any of my other XD pistols. I love that it came with the extended magazine, not so with the regular XDS package. It also has the red and green front site inserts. I didn't see this listed in the description or reviews. Everything came in brand new condition. I did have to have my local FFL fax in his license. It still took less than a week to receive my firearm from the day I ordered it. I will definitely be ordering from SOS again!

( 5 out of 5) Great overall by Johnny from St. Louis, Missouri on May 17, 2015 With this being my second XDS, I'm familiar with the product. The service here was excellent, the FREE SHIPPING was super fast, customer services were great with assisting with my transfer and everything came brand new in original packaging. What more can you ask for? Did I forget to mention the best prices

( 5 out of 5) Springfield XDS 9mm Essentials by Barry from Detroit, Michigan on April 29, 2015 Great price! Super fast shipping, delivered to my FFL in 3 days! Gun as described. Overall very happy with the purchase and will use Sportsmans Outdoors again.

( 5 out of 5) Sportsman Superstore by Phil from Sarasota, Florida on April 18, 2015 I have bought 5 Guns from Sportsman Superstore. I am so impressed. The gun was priced right and shipping was free and quick. This is my store to buy guns, ammo and accessories.

( 5 out of 5) Gun purchase by Jim2257 from Portland, Oregon on April 5, 2015 I purchased a Walther CCP 9mm from Sportsman's and they had the best Internet price available.



Once I placed the order I received the Walther within 4 days shipped to my FFL.



I spoke with customer service prior to shipping and they were extremely nice and professional, and knowledgeable.



I am getting ready to purchase another weapon from them and would highly recommend this store. I rate them a 10.

( 5 out of 5) Springfield XDS 9 by Gordon from Pawleys Island, South Carolina on March 18, 2015 Great price, great communication, great shipping. You are a great company to deal with. No hassle. Only place to purchase firearms.

( 5 out of 5) Great Handgun and Fantastic Service by Paul from Las Vegas, NV on March 4, 2015 Love how fast you got the gun to my FFL. Well done guys. Oh yea, great EDC handgun too.

( 5 out of 5) XDS 9mm by Mike from Manchester, PA on February 21, 2015 Love the gun. Also have in 45, both are great. First time ordering from this company. Gun showed up within a week. Very pleased

( 5 out of 5) A Great CCW and an unbeatable price! by Raph from Houston, TX on February 19, 2015 Impressive concealed carry pistol that fits your hand like a glove. Dovetail 2 dot rear and FO front sights makes target acquisition fast and the excellent trigger hits the target right on the mark. Between this XDS and the S&W Shield, which I also own, I guess it's a matter of opinion and likes, both are great. Just like what the other reviewer has said, this is the essentials kit and indeed better than the standard kit with its 2 mags, one flush and an extended one- dont bother with the other useless stuff. I used to shop with the other popular online gun store, but with an unbeatable price like this, much faster shipping, Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore is my new favorite.

( 5 out of 5) Springfield XDS 9mm by Brook from Pineville, louisiana on February 12, 2015 Fast shipping. Easy to order. Good customer service. Gun was as described. Already put in another order. Highly recommend using Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore.
