I wrapped my grip in hockey stick tape to keep it from peeling the skin of my hands, but mine is an xd-s 40 in 3.3" And I tend to shoot 180gn out of it

So the question is, was it an XDs 9 double stack subcompact, or an XD-S 9 single stack? Kind of confusing when two different models can be written the same unintentionally.

I've never heard anyone say an XDs 9 double stack was too narrow.

It wasn't a dedicated line, it was inconsistent labeling of a specific model. Just like the xd-m was inconsistently labeled as labeled as XD(M), XDM, XD-M, and XD with a superscript M on it. Springfield also did the same with the XD-E, and the XD Subcompact, which is still often referred to as an XDS or XD(S), just like the single stack.
