I recently got a holster from FIST Inc. Its for a S&W 3914 9mm. It’s a right handed IWB with a forward cant. It’s not quite as large as your 45, but the company can fit almost any model of side arm. I called and they were very helpful, in a New York City Cop sort of way. They certainly had the answers for all my questions and I am very satisfied with the holster. My weapon remains concealed under any untucked shirt.

Galco is another very good company. They are also very helpful on the phone to find the holster that meets your needs.

Good luck.

I carry a 1911A1 (“short” 1911) in one of the higher end Galco holsters. Best advise, find one you like and just wear it until it feels “natural” to be there. Nothing I hate worse than breaking in a new holster…………..

DeSantis makes an IWB small paddle holster that I carry my Kimber.45 in. I really like it cuz nothing shows below the 2 snaps on my belt. The magazine pouch (2 mags) on the other side appears to be a cell phone holder or knife pouch. Both can be easily concealed by a T-shirt or shirt not tucked it
and with a quick snap can be removed without any hassles.
I also carry in an outside waist band Biachi during the winter due to always having a coat on (Alaska) that has 4 different slots for the belt so the most comfortable angle can be selected. I find that te Biachi is the most comfortable, but the Desantis hides better and have gotten used to it. I have a box full of holsters cuz I tried many until I found the one that works best for me. The whole point is to find what works smoothest and that you will use consistently. Both holsters above have a very stiff opening so weapon can be reholstered with one hand but the DeSantis has a release tension adjustment that the Biachi does not. Like you, I feel naked without a weapon, and I have found that being armed makes me a much more patient person and more tolerant of stupid stuff due to the potential violence at my disposal.
My $.02 worth.
