Highest Riding OWB holster ?
I have decided to try an OWB for when I can wear a shirt with
the shirt tail hanging out but I dont want the tip of my 5 in 1911
hanging down for all to see under the shirt. ( like happened with
the holster that came with my Springfield.)

I have been looking at the trigger guards vs the top of the
belt line as a guage to judge how high they are riding
and also whether the gun is straight up or canted in the FBI style.

So what manufacturer makes the hi ride style and whose is the
very highest?

Also, as I understand the problem with raising the gun higher
is the tendency for the gun to not hug your body as close.
So would the belt slide or a paddle holster control that the best ?
