What do you think of the extra gear like the holster, mag holder & loader ... that they throw in now with the new XD's ? Is it me... of are they a little bit on the cheesey side, Maybe ? Or am I just lookin' for an excuse to buy more gun gear? :mrgreen:

The holster is not great for conceal carry but the mag holder is nice. I have mine fitted with a rail mount flashlight, and the mag loader is the best one I have ever owned, but I have not owned many I usually don't use one.
It isn't that the holster is a piece of junk just not the style suited for conceal carry, I prefer a leather OWB for on the belt carry.

XD "extras"

:smt068

I wish that Springfield packed these XD's the "old" way, which was the gun, clips, lock, and cleaning brush...all for a cheaper price. Now, you pay $489 and get a decent magazine holster, a not-so-good carrying holster, and a decent mag loader. I went and bought the Blackhawk CQC holster for $60 and love it....the freebie is never going to perform like a nice leather one.

my two cents worth :)

I have to agree with minnesota_gunner. They should keep the cheapo RIGHT HANDED holster that does me (a lefty) no good at all and the cheapo mag holder and lower the price. I do have to say that the mag loader is usable, though.
