Blog Administrator -
Your information is correct. This is a Fatal RECALL started in October 2013 and is now in full swing, see the Youtube Video below for full explanation and demonstration. If you own a Springfield Armory XD-S 3.3 Compact. This is for both the 9mm and the 45 ACP Calibers. These are under recall and are dangerous to either shoot to have loaded.

Springfield Armory has a RECAL Website, if you own this handgun, unload it immediately, and go to this website:

For further information you can contact Springfield Armory at their call center:

Youtube Video: Why are the Springfield Armory XDS Handguns Being Recalled ...


I recently had an opportunity to Test Fire the Springfield 9mm XDS Sub Compact Handgun. The Target is shown below. I shot 10-Rounds at 35 Feet.
I cannot honestly recommend this handgun. I thought it performed poorly as related to other firearms in its class. Also, I did not personally like the grip on firearm.
