Thanks to all the practical pistol matches I watched this year I decided that I needed a pistol of my own to shoot.  Well today on my way home I picked up my Springfield XD 40 at Gander Mountain.  Good news is that I really like the ergonomics of the pistol so far and it seems pretty well put together.  Not so good news is I can't seem to find any magazines or a holster for it.  I am needing a couple more 12 round mags and one of the plastic holsters for it.  Where is a good place to get these things from?  I found a holster on Midway, but they want $8.35 to ship it, and another $5.50 to ship 2 magazines when they come in.  I like ordering online because I can almost always find great deals, but problem is I don't know where to look.  Do you fellas have any secret shopping spots?  Go easy on me though, I just laid out more money than I had planned on for the pistol and don't have a lot of budget left for mags/holster.  The holster I found on Midway was less than $14 and the mags were $17.something.

Congrats on the XD. I have an XD-9 myself.  The only major complaint out there seems to be the slide finish.  Some have problems with it, some don't.  I find it pretty prone to rusting unless I'm very careful to wipe off fingerprints.

I use a G-code holster and love it.  High quality and very reasonable price.  Got mine from Gunner's Alley.  Great service and good prices.  I recommend you call your order in.  Doing an internet order, they don't seem to let you know if something is on backorder.  On the phone, they're great.  

www.hs2000talk.com/ is the 'Arfcom' of the XD world.  Lots of good info there.  All of their board sponsers are good to order from.

So what am I? Chopped liver?

S&W mags are supposed to work (never tried it myself), but you have to modify them by cutting an extra hole in the front of the mag.  Should still work in a Smith after the mod.

Full capacity XD mags are $23 right now and available at www.pistol-gear.com and other places.

I heard something about how you can relatively easily modify beretta mags too...at least for the XD-9. I picked one up in early August, and haven't had a single malfunction yet.

G.A.S. $26.99

CDNN $24.99

How dare you modify perfectly good Beretta Mags! Just think of me as a wayword home for Beretta mags. Bad Duck, Bad Duck.

plan_b: The Mach 2 stuff looks nice.  Formed Kydex (not injection molded), etc.  I like to support the local businesses as much as possible.  Do you know of any reviews out there on this gear?  Or how about posting a mini review here?  How does it compare to other brands out there like: Blade Tec, G-code, Comp-Tac, etc?  How about their mag carriers? (No pics on thier site).
