I used the XD holster for a while, even tho Im lefthanded. It was better than sticking it in my waistband and having it slide down when running or walking for long distances. (not fun) But I have comptac paddle holster, that hugs tight to my side and doesnt flop around like the XD holster does. I do use the mag holsters, I even bought one of the XD mag kits that comes in a small case with 3 mags and another mag holster. With both mag holsters and one in the gun I can carry 80rnds quite easily.
