There is no thumb safety, but the gun is equipped with Springfield Armory’s Ultra Safety Assurance (USA) Action Trigger System that prevents the trigger from moving fully to the rear unless it is first pressed. The slide catch is protected by a fence to prevent accidental engagement yet is large enough to activate easily. So while no gun is the perfect choice for every shooter, the single-stack XD-S gained a strong following, resulting in the introduction of different calibers as well as a 4-inch barrel version.Īlthough the XD-S is not fully ambidextrous, it does have a checkered magazine release that can be activated from either side. One of those was Springfield Armory, which had been producing the successful double-stack XD line for quite a few years. Many manufacturers introduced their own versions, often based on a larger double-stack design. Then single-stack, compact and sub-compact 9mm handguns became popular, especially with non-sworn civilians who could legally carry a gun discreetly for self-defense. As concealed carry became lawful in more and more states, consumers tended to want smaller semi-automatic handguns, often chambered in.
In the last half of the 20th century, double-stack 9mm handguns began to be seen everywhere with improvements being made to make them more reliable and user friendly. Most fed from a single-stack magazine, while some were single action and others were double action. Then semi-automatic pistols came to be the handgun of choice for many, including some law enforcement agencies. They gave way to double-action revolvers with swing-out cylinders that made reloading faster. Many, many years ago, the most popular handguns for self-defense were single-action revolvers. Times change, as do consumer preferences.
