You seem to have a good handle on what you want to buy, gun wise. I can't argue with it! My favorite 1911 holster is a Blade-Tech IWB. I like the holsters as they are very light weight yet hold their shape for easy re-holstering. I even use it for IDPA. I suggest that you buy one for a 5" 1911. That puts the tip of the holster behind your hip pocket and holds everything in position very well. And if you ever switch to a commander or 5" length, you do not have to buy a new holster every time. I usually glue a thin piece of swade leather on the inside of all inside the waistband holsters. It helps the holster grip your clothing so your pants are not as likely to slide south. If you are built like a rain-barrel, it helps. If you are one of the fortunate people who actually have hips, it will help keep your shirt in. I also use the Blade-tech UCH which allows you to tuck you shirt in, but I don't have that style for the 1911, only for my Charter Bulldog and Kahr P9. I'll buy whatever suits my fancy for a belt rig, but for an IWB concealment holster, everything is Blade-tech. 44 Man
