What are the specifications of the XD-S Mod.2® 3.3″ Single Stack 9mm?
What key features does the XD-S Mod.2® 3.3″ offer?
The XD-S Mod.2® 3.3″ Single Stack 9mm with Tritium Sight is built for everyday carry. Its single-stack design keeps the grip thin, making it easy to conceal and comfortable to hold for many shooters. The 3.3-inch barrel strikes a balance between a compact footprint and sufficient sight radius for accuracy at typical self-defense distances. Springfield Armory’s Melonite finish on the slide provides resistance against corrosion and wear, which is important for a firearm that might be carried daily and exposed to sweat or the elements. The inclusion of a tritium front sight is a practical upgrade, offering a clear sight picture in low-light conditions without needing batteries, unlike fiber optics or red dots. The grip texture is designed to provide a secure hold without being overly aggressive, which can be a common complaint with some compact pistols. It also features a loaded chamber indicator and a grip safety, which are standard Springfield Armory safety features that some shooters prefer for peace of mind.
Who is this handgun for?
This XDSG9339BT is a solid choice for specific types of shooters.
- Buy it if:
- You need a reliable, compact 9mm for concealed carry.
- You prioritize a slim, single-stack grip for easier concealment and handling.
- You want low-light sight capability right out of the box with the tritium front sight.
- You appreciate a grip safety and loaded chamber indicator as additional safety measures.
- You’re looking for a pistol that balances size, capacity, and shootability for personal defense.
- You prefer the simplicity and proven track record of a striker-fired system.
- Skip it if:
- You require a higher capacity double-stack magazine as your primary carry. (See our double-stack 9mm pistols for alternatives).
- You prefer a hammer-fired pistol or a manual thumb safety.

- You are looking for a dedicated range or competition pistol, where a longer barrel and heavier frame might be preferred. (Consider our full-size handguns).
