Paddle Holster for SD40VE suggestions

this is what I bought and once you stretch the leather and break it in the way you are suppose to, it fits like a glove and thumb release is sweet. I am going to look at picking up the Blackhawk CQC Serpa. Galco is made in US also. Great holster. PDL472B.
 
I bought a S&W M&P 9/40 Retention Black Holster New Israeli Tactical, Item# 1120HOL from cdnninvestments.com which is CDNN Sports. I tell you what, trying to find it from Target Sports who sells them was a joke, I finally gave up. Holster was only $16.99 but $10 bucks for shipping. Thanks for the lead EBK. Awesome holster.
 
Wrong holster choice after going under advisement!

I orderd and got the S&W M&P 9/40 Retention Black Holster New Israeli Tactical as was suggested. Gun goes in nicely but will not sink in deep enough for the pistol lock to engage the trigger frame. Defeats the purpose of the gun being secure in the holster.
If you want a polymer holster just to hold the gun and draw quickly, like a Fobus, then that is what you are getting but will this pistol lock in a SD 40 or 9, the answer is no, not a chance. Me and a special ops friend tried it today and that part of the holster that houses the trigger housing is about 3/4" to shallow. I would not recommend this holster for anythinh other than a plain $17 holster but it will not lock your SD in a holster made for an MP. This was the exact same holster as was recommended here and it is wrong. I have one for sale if some wants it, $16.99 plus $9.99 shipping for a grand total of $26.98, can send USPS. Read the posts on here, I am taking my defense CCW 's advice and buying a Blackhawk serpa. He knows a guy that makes leather custom hlosters. Anybody with an MP, I got your holster but not for your SD. You live you learn. message me if you want to buyn this thing. I won' use it. Michael:( I got one for you turnersapien. Just say the word, private message or what and I will put that bad puppy on you. Not for me.
 
Actually outside of leather, you can't beat the BlackHawk Right Hand CQC Serpa Sportster... But this time I will find one through my new best buddy and try it first. No more buys on the internet on advice, done it twice won,t be a third. Better luck shopping folks.

I had already bought the Blackhawk CQC Serpa when I said that to EBK...definitely glad I had after reading your experience bro. I love my Blackhawk...super comfortable and easy to use! sorry it didn't work out for you with that Israeli Tactical deal... :-/
 
The only paddle holster I use anymore is the Kramer MSP...not a cheap solution, but it is without question the MOST comfortable paddle I have EVER used.

Hey y'all. I'm new to the forum too. I've got a question. Y'all are all referencing the M&P40 and the SW40VE. I've got an SW40F. Will these holsters fit my weapon?
Thanks,
Pete

it's my understanding that the SW40F is the first Sigma, and has a 4.5" barrel instead of the current 4"? just checked my SD40VE in my Blackhawk CQC and your barrel/slide would stick out...
 
I just got the Blackhawk Serpa for my SD9 VE, found it on Amazon for $26.99 with free shipping. Really like it so far, so nice not to have to deal with the thumb break of my other holster anymore.
 
yeah, I got sucker punched on that one but CDNN told me to send it back but it will cost me $10 in shipping and time to do it. But I know for a fact the BlackHawk #: 410025BK-R is the big dawg for the SDVE series along with the M&P and some Glocks. The hell of it is, the pistol was $17, and $10 shipping, so I will be out that $10 and $10 more to ship. You live and learn but it always cost you money. Got mine at Buds. later men

Sorry about the bad advice guys. The one my buddy has for his M&P 9 fit my SD40 and locked in maybe I just got lucky.

Again really sorry about that.

If you haven't sold it already I will buy it from you considering it was on my advice that you bought it. Like I said maybe I just got lucky when I tried it in my buddies
 
I sent you a PM back, no big deal, yours fit mine was not close. But I appreciate your honorable intentions. This is the problem with internet buying, you can't put your hands on it and try it. Thank you EBK
 
Got the BlackHawk #: 410025BK-R CQC Serpa Paddle and or belt. Man this is a bad mamma jamma!! Talk about sweet, and nobody can get that gun out of that holster. This is for the MP series. Clean sweep take away out of the holster. Smooooothhhhhh. Paddle is comfortable, don't care for belt holsters. But glad I got this bad dog! Highly recommend.
 
I love mine too bro! I can't imagine there being a better holster for the money!
 
Just something you folks with the serpa holster should be aware of.
SERPA Lock Test - YouTube

It may not affect you but be aware of it.
This is the only reason I looked elsewhere for a holster.
