The Low Effort Slide on the XD-E™ 3.3″ Single Stack .45 ACP requires 27 percent less locking force compared to a comparable striker-fired pistol, while the double-action/single-action trigger offers both an added layer of safety as well as the potential for Condition 1 carry. The loaded chamber indicator works both visually and by feel, while the 1911-style grip angle and “point and shoot” ergonomics make this XD-E uniquely shooter-friendly.
