Ok.... I have searched practically every were. I have not been able to find anyone that is willing to build me a holster. It's not very difficult and fairly practical... but unusual....

I carry a Springfield XD 40 4" service model with a streamlight TLR-2 Light/laser attached. I am looking for a IWB Kydex holster similar to the Com-TacGurka Holster that will hold both the gun/light (here is the unusual part) with an extra Mag.

If anyone knows where or wants to try this out please let me know. I have a few others that I know that carry Glocks with the same light/laser combo that are interested also.

With an extra mag??? On the holster? If so this would seem to be a pretty bulky piece for IWB.

Best IWB I've seen to date. I use ther SuperTuck which is so well made you can hardly feel it. I love the full-length leather backing so even in the summer you're not sweating or chafing against your gun slide. Also, the owner is an amazing salesman, and when he recently switched over to new clips and added a sight channel (old ones didn't) he offered to modify and upgrade the old holster users for free. He posts all the time on xdtalk.com so if you have a question for him there or send him a PM ( http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/search.php?do=finduser&u=7595 ).

i can understand a holster for a gun with a light attached but the mag on the same side?
BladeTech makes one for guns with lights

carrying the mag on the same side as your gun:question:

during a reload you would have to
1. pull/dropmag
2. put gun in weak hand
3.draw fresh mag with strong hand
4. insert mag
5. then return gun to your strong hand


vs
1. drop empty mag
2. draw fresh mag with off hand
3. insert mag
Gun stayed on target during reload

why add steps
can you keep gun on target with your off hand
can you shoot well enough with off hand

Edit:
Just something to think about.
This if for a slide lock reload.
Tactical and reload with retention get more difficult.

Now carrying your speed loaders(revolver shooters) on the same side as your firearm makes sense.
