SD 40VE Holster FAQs Answered

Does the SD40VE's lack of a manual safety affect holster choice?

It's worth knowing about, especially if you're setting up an IWB carry. Because the SD40VE has no external manual safety, full trigger guard coverage in your holster is essential. Every CrossBreed SD40VE IWB holster fully encloses the trigger guard and uses a molded Kydex shell that prevents anything from contacting the trigger while the gun is holstered. That's not a feature to compromise on.

What's the best carry position for the SD40VE?

Strong-side IWB at the 3 to 4 o'clock position is where most SD40VE carriers land, and a hybrid holster with a wide leather backer, like the SuperTuck, goes a long way toward keeping a mid-size .40 caliber pistol comfortable through a full day of carry. Appendix carry is also possible for the right body type. The best holster for S&W SD40VE carry is ultimately the one that fits your build and gets the gun off your hip and into your hand reliably. CrossBreed's adjustable cant and retention let you dial that in without buying a second holster.

Will an SD40VE holster also fit the SD9VE?

Yes, the SD40VE and SD9VE share the same frame dimensions, so a holster molded for one will fit the other. CrossBreed lists these as compatible when you select your firearm at checkout. If you own both and want to confirm before ordering, our team can walk you through it.
