Eric, This package has 2 magazines, 1-7 round, 1-8 round, case, 2 back straps, cable lock, bore brush. No holster or magazine pouch. The price difference could be due to no holster or pouch or just inventory pricing.

Hi Eric, the "essential" package will not come with a holster or mag pouch like the XD package will. Same gun, less gear. More info can be found here, thanks! springfield-armory.com/xds-weekend/packages

Eric - "Essential" means it comes with just the essentials ... and as stated this one comes with: 1 Flush Fitting Magazine and 1 with New Mid-Mag X-Tension, 2 Interchangeable Backstraps, Lockable Case, Cable Lock, Bore Brush. The XDs "Gear" package comes with the above items, plus: Deluxe Lockable Case, Right Hand Paddle Holster and Double Mag Pouch. Bud's prices are based primarily on 'replacement cost' of buying another of the same item from the manufacturer. Here is their explanation of how their prices are set, copied directly from Buds web site: “Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of each make/model will change up/down accordingly. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day.”
