SW40VE Holster

There do not seem to be a lot of options for holsters to fit my SW40VE. I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a concealed carry belt holster in leather. It should be open topped (not thumb break), high riding and canted, and preferably with snap belt loops. I'd consider either a plain scabbard or pancake. Can someone recommend a particular make and model?

In addition, check out the Holster Links if you haven't had the chance. Good luck!

Checked into those. They're great looking holsters and seem like top quality, just too bad the turnaround time is so long. I was hoping to find something available off the shelf. Looks like custom might be the only way to go. The Snapper (love that name) would be perfect but High Noon says they don't make one for the SW40VE yet.

About a third of their holsters are now 5 days or less to ship. I have 4 different hosters from them. Mr Softy, Bare Assets, Split Decision and Topless models. I like and use them all.

Here is a pic of my carry rig for my 40VE. A Bianchi Minimalist.

Not all, but most holster for a Glock 23 will fit.

You will probaly be better satisfied going with a custom job anyways, and not spend much more.
