From the AR article.

There’s no question that the XD-S is special because of its chambering, but those who find its other attributes enough to recommend it will be pleased to know that Springfield already has plans to produce the pistol in “other popular calibers” in the future, according to Williams.

Welcome sgosnell.

Pretty good chance on that. It was mentioned by one of the Springer guys in an article but when is the question.

From what I understand the XDS 9mm should be released this week at the SHOT show, can't say where I heard it from but the source is reliable....

Even if they release the XDS 9mm at the SHOT show I would be willing to bet it will 5-6 months before they are available to buy, like it was with the XDS 45 from Springfield.

XDS is now available in. 9 mm.

Ok, where can you buy one and how much are they?


Just sent an email to SA requesting info on when available for sale in stores.

Drew Herbst from Springfield Arms said they are hoping to start shipping out the XDs 9mm in the second quarter of 2013. I can't wait!!

I never received a reply.

I love my XD .40.. may have to check into one of these XD 9mm's. What's the price range?

Price and availability hasn't been set yet.
Supposedly about the same as the 45 model but expect prices to be higher due to demand.

Here are some of the specs:

• Nearly identical specifications as the XDs, but in 9mm
• Barrel – Melonite, fully supported ramp
• Sights – Fiber Optic Front, Dovetail (Steel) Rear
• Slide – Forged Steel with Melonite finish
• Frame – Black Polymer
• Magazines – (2) Stainless Steel
• Standard capacity of 7+1, but has optional extended magazine making 10+1
• Should be available by 2nd quarter 2013
• MSRP will be around the XDs price
