+1 to the Crossbreed holster. I carry my Colt New Agent 1911 .45 3" in one, and I'm confident it'll be the only IWB holster that gun sees. I can go down to a T-shirt with it, and I've walked miles with it and no discomfort whatsoever. And my Colt's not exactly a light gun as well.

Also, I would go shoot a PPS .40 before you run out and buy one. Maybe you have, but from my own personal experience-- a friend picked up a PPS 9mm and carried it in a CompTac Minotaur, and it was just awesome. However, we took it to the range and that PPS, even in the little 9, was biting my palm hard enough for me to give it a strange look, it was pretty unpleasant to shoot. My .45 was much more comfortable. Just thinking, since .40 in that little gun might start making shooting time not so fun and develop bad habits with it.
