Savage Arms has just announced the Stance XR, an increased-capacity and enhanced version of the Stance micro-compact 9mm carry pistol.
Savage Arms announced the original Stance micro-compact 9mm concealed carry pistol in late 2021, but the company has seemingly just replaced it with the new Stance XR. The big new features of the Stance XR include increased magazine capacities and quick-detach optics plates, and the pistols will be available with or without manual safeties and night sights.
Stance XR pistols now feature a capacity of 13+1 rounds when using extended magazines and 10+1 rounds with flush-fit mags. One of each is included. The original Stance models, which are now discontinued, had a maximum capacity of only 10+1 rounds when using their extended magazines. The other big change on the XR is not only the introduction of optics-ready slides, but slides that feature a quick-release optics (QRO) plate. This system allows users to quickly add, remove or swap which red dot is mounted to the pistol.
Most other features of the Stance XR are the same as the original, including ambidextrous magazine and slide release buttons, interchangeable backstraps (two included) and a serialized internal chassis. They also still feature 3.2-inch barrels. There are five different variants of the XR available, a version with no manual safety, a version with a manual safety, a version with night sights and a version with a manual safety and night sights. The final and most expensive variant features a manual safety and ships with a Crimson Trace CTS-1500 red dot sight. Each version is available with either a black, FDE or gray frame as well.
Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing at Savage Arms, said this about the new pistols:
The Stance XR adds another reliable and versatile everyday carry pistol to our lineup … With its increased capacity and the ability to easily attach different optics, the Stance XR offers enhanced functionality and customization options to meet the needs of our customers.
MSRPs for the Stance XR range from $469 to $659 and each pistol comes with a hard case, two magazines and two sizes of backstrap.
