Holster for a compact Arcus?

I have an Arcus 94c which is the compact version of their Hi-Power clone. Does anyone have experience with holsters for this model? The squared off trigger guard and recontoured slide and frame seem to make a fitted Hi-Power holster unsuitable.
I'd prefer an IWB item and have no preference on type of material.

Sorry, GAC; I can't help you. But you can tell me about that 94c if you would; I researched it THOROUGHLY. Even called the plant in Bulgaria. (I think that's where it is.)
Ultimately, was told they could not export extra mags to U.S., and I lost interest. How do you like it???????

Citizen,
how come you got turned off about extra mags ....ANY Hi Power mag will work in the Compact...its the same grip length as a standard Hi Power.
Ive got one layed away in Utah and tried this before laying it away.
As far as the holster goes....as soon as I get my gun..hell I can make you anything you want. Simple....itll be a month or two..so be patient.
I dont know anyone who makes them.
Shoot well.

PCRCCW- allow me to demonstrate my ignorance....:o :o :o :o
I've been suffering with the notion that a "compact" 94 required a "compact" magazine..... not true??????:o :confused: :o :o

The Arcus is a good gun. Granted, I've only put about 150 rounds through it but I had no problem with the Wal-Mart white box ammo (JHP and FMJ) and accuracy was good at 10 yards.
Hi-Power magazines work on the pistol and I'll take PCRCCW's word on the grip length being the same as on the full size. I can tell when looking at the 10 rounders that came with it that a thirteen rounder should be the same length.

citizen...no biggie. Really. I didnt know until I compared the F/S vs the Compact. The compact took the fullsize mags and were flush. Thus my pursueing the one I am...........:D :rolleyes:

The full-size Arcus that i used to own(sold to a shooting buddy) actually fit perfectly in a Don Hume "Double Nine" pancake holster made for a Kahr K40 - the muzzle-end of the slide just peeked out about an inch from the bottom of the holster.
Which is odd, because the same gun would NOT fit well in a different model Don Hume holster for the Kahr K40...:confused:
