Savage XR Pistol

Savage Arms is expanding the Stance family of pistols with the new Stance XR. Designed for everyday carry applications, the Stance XR is built to be functional in the hand and easy to conceal.

Chambered in 9mm, the Stance XR micro pistol from Savage Arms has all of the features and functions of the original Stance with an expanded magazine capacity of 13 rounds and a quick-release optic (QRO) plate. The QRO plate allows shooters to quickly change optics and outfit the pistol in a way that suits them best.

"The Stance XR adds another reliable and versatile everyday carry pistol to our lineup," said Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing at Savage Arms. "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."

Other features of the Stance XR include an ambidextrous magazine release and slide catch as well as stippled grip for a more-secure fit in the hand. Additionally, the pistol comes with two interchangeable backstraps so users can adjust the grip size to their individual preferences.
