a FULL SIZE xdS(ubcompact)?? I'm fairly certain he wants a full-size single stack OP, I seriously doubt it. There's no market for a full-size single stack pistol. |

I think they already do but it is called a Range Officer. Comes with a much better trigger too.

Not sure the "s" means subcompact, more along the lines of "Slim". It may be a pipe dream, but I think it would be awesome if Springfield put out a Full Size "SLIM" striker fired handgun. I think they would sell without question. I'd buy two!

The problem is there are two groups of people in the handgun market- the folks who recognize reality, that citizen self defense gunfights are over in 3 rounds, and the chuckleheads who act like they're going to war against armed crazed Muslim zombies who won't die unless you shoot them 38 times.
The gun makers are currently catering to the high capacity people. |

a FULL SIZE xdS(ubcompact)?? The "XD-S" is not a single pistol model, just like the XD and XD-M it is a name for the SERIES of pistols. Single-stack/slim. They currently have two models, that share the same frame. The 4.0" model just started shipping not long ago IIRC. I can't imagine a 5" version, especially on the same narrow frame, but who knows.

I didn't think Springfield ever said what the "S" stands for! Some say Slim, others say Subcompact, while others claim Single Stack.
Personally, I would like to see a 7 or 8 round 5" model. I really like my XDs .45 as an everyday carry pistol. I also like the longer sight radius of my 5.25" .45. But the double stack makes it a little too bulky for my frame to carry in the summer months. As a side note, I refuse to carry my XDs with the 7 round mag, as it hangs on the heel of my hand when reloading. I know, I know, all I have to do is "rip the mag", rather than "drop the mag"...but if bad things happen, I don't want to think about my mag changes. |

It has interchangeable back  straps, too.

Ask Springfield. I don't make up the names. |

Brother, don't get mad. I'm just saying Springfield has never, to my knowledge, actually made a statement.Gun writers and consumers have put their own tags on the letters.
It would be easier if they just had numbers!

I think having a 4 or 5in model with a fullsize grip (not extensions) would be an option that some would choose to buy.

I like the idea of a competition oriented single stack 5" but I doubt there's enough of a market for it. All the guys that run single stack classes use 19 11 ' s. Then again, maybe there's enough room to create a new market segment. How well do the sig p220's and p239's sell?

Modular. "The “M” stands for Modular. New pistols have interchangeable backstraps in small, medium and large. " In XDM, the M stands for Match because of the supposed Match barrel. This is the standard description Springfield released with the 3.8 Compact, they have since changed it but it is all over the net. The XD has taken on another design in the XDM Compact. The "M" stands for a Model contour frame, Major grasp slide serrations, Match-grade barrel, and Minimal reset trigger. The XDM has a whole other level in precision. With an incredible attention to detail, no handgun company approaches specification and precision engineering like Springfield Armory. It is just a letter. It means whatever word Springfield's marketing can fit.. Which has been many. When they gave the pistols to lots of reviewers, they told them Modular, and Modernized etc. No sense trying to pin down what it stands for. We know what the pistols are without the letters. |
