I have not chronographed every load through the 4.0, but I have measured the performance of several rounds that are representative of my testing. I experienced no malfunctions with any of the ammo. I’ve shot more than 10 different kinds of ammo through the gun – a lot of 115 grain ball from Federal, Remington and Winchester, but also +P and +P+ hollowpoint loads. I attached several lights to this pistol during my review process. That’s not an issue with the XD-S 4.0″ pistol. This allows you to add a white light or laser if you are so inclined.Īnother company ran into an issue with its third iteration of pistols that – as the story goes – had reliability problems when certain kinds of ammo were used with a light mounted to its accessory rail. Springfield Armory designed the gun with an accessory rail under the barrel. Here are the factory specs on the the Springfield XD-S 4.0: Caliberīlack or matte stainless slide, black polymer Springfield Armory XD-S 4.0 9mm Specifications I suspected it would be infinitely better than the so-called New York trigger used on some Glock pistols. Of course, getting it on the range would prove whether I really liked it or not. However, it did not feel so heavy that I was turned off by it. This is a little heavier than many other striker-fired pistols, and it did feel heavier. Trigger weight measured 8 lb, 5 oz using a digital Lyman trigger pull gauge. Included in the case is the gun, a 7 round magazine, a 9 round magazine with an X-Tension grip sleeve, a polymer holster, a plastic double mag pouch, gunlock and paperwork. With a flush-fitting magazine in the Springfield XDS 4.0, I got the benefits of a thin gun with a short grip for concealment, but the improved velocity and accuracy of a duty-sized barrel.Īs it ships, the pistol comes in a hard plastic case and comes with a variety of extras. Also, the length of the grip can really affect how well the gun stays out of sight. The thickness of the gun, on the other hand, plays a huge role in concealability and comfort.

A full grip would not have allowed for this style of carry. With a Telor Tactical ankle holster, I was able to carry the XD-S 4.0″ concealed under a uniform pant leg.
