N8 Squared Tactical Colt XSE holster

I'm looking for opinions of those who have used the N8 Squared Tactical Colt XSE holster. http://n82tactical.com/n82store/?page_id=998

It is an IWB holster for the 1911.

To those who have used it:
How did/do you like it?
Does the suede that is in contact with your body cause moisture problems or heat buildup?
Does the size of the holster work for a 3 to 4 o'clock carry position?
Do you find that the handgun is secure and will not fall out?

The design seems to put a large area of the holster in contact with the body.

Thanks in advance for your time to reply.

I can't comment on that particular holster, but I have carried my Rossi 462 in N8 Squared holster for a couple of years now and I can say without hesitation that it is the most comfortable IWB holster I have ever used. Can't say that I have ever had a problem with the heat or moisture issue. As the foam backed leather conforms to the shape of the gun, retention is excelent. I wasn't a fan of IWB carry until I purchased this holster. Now about 50% of the time, I carry IWB.
