We want it to be just right. When it comes to a defensive handgun, most buyers want a gun that’s large enough to shoot comfortably, but compact enough to carry and conceal even under light clothing. When you start narrowing the field of new striker-fired guns that meet those criteria, you quickly winnow out the number of potential pistols considerably.
Guns in Springfield Armory’s XD-S line fit neatly into those Goldilocks proportions. The XD-S guns are built around the same basic architecture as Springfield’s other XD striker-fired guns, but the S-series pistols are single-stacks, which means they are lighter, thinner and easier to conceal than their beefier double-stack stablemates.
