I recently purchased a Springfield XD sub-compact .40 S&W and was wondering if any of the XD extra magazines would work with my particular handgun or would I need to purchase a certain type of XD magazine?
The standard XD-40 and XD-40 Mod2 (this model has been discontinued) magazine will work in your Sub-Compact. That said they will stick out a bit. There is a grip sleeve that will go over the full size magazine magazine to give you a full size grip. XDm, XDs magazines will not work.I recently purchased a Springfield XD sub-compact .40 S&W and was wondering if any of the XD extra magazines would work with my particular handgun or would I need to purchase a certain type of XD magazine?

I have seen XD-S mags fit and function in an XD-E, so you may have some success mixing and matching. (The mag did stick out further, exposing the metal below the grip.)
Is it possible to find an autoloader for my particular handgun?
What do you mean by "autoloader"?
XDE or XDS mags won't work in XD SC or Mod2. The first two are single stack XD SC are double stack.
XDs and XDe magazines will not work in the original XD pistols. The XDs and XDe are single stack magazine where the original XD is a double stack.
The XD-40 Sub Compact will accept magazines from the original XD and the XD Mod 2 versions only. It will not accept XDm, XDs, or XDm.
XD-Mod 2 magazines will work also. That said I don't think there was any real distinction between XD-40 and XD-40 Mod 2 as far as magazines go they simple both use the same magazine the original XD-40 magazine. I beleive the only real difference between the original XD and the Mod 2 was cosmetic, the internals were the same. It interesting that SA stopped making the Mod 2 but continue to make the original. That Grip Zone thing really killed the Mod 2.You'll need to buy XD 40 magazines. No S, no E, no M.
I’m sorry, I meant a magazine loader. I didn’t see one on the website that you provided.What do you mean by "autoloader"?

Are you sure? They still make the original?
Not as much as I first thought but they still offer the two versions of the 9mm Defender which is the original XD with limited extras packaged with it. It seems they no longer offer any of the other calibers (40S&W, 357 Sig, 45GAP, 45ACP) or the Tactical version of the original series anymore. Just the Sub-Compact and the Service in 9mm.
