Nice job.

So how does it feel/ride now?

Sounds like a nice addition. I'm anxious to see your photos.

There is a company - Crossbreed - that makes a combination kydex & leather holster. See their website here. Adding a piece of leather to your CTAC should be an easy job, and you could always remove it if you don't like it.

I also was a bit disappointed in my CTTAC when I first started wearing it, so I modified it as shown HERE . The new larger tabs let me adjust the cant and height to suit my body better. A little trial and error on clip attachment location on the tabs got a good comfortable fit.

The photos show it with my full sized M&P 9 but I later bought a 9 compact and cut about 1 1/2" off the bottom of the holster -- left just enough to cover the shorter slide/barrel on the 9c. I wear it at about 4:00 and it sits there very well and doesn't poke me at all, standing, walking, sitting or driving.

However, my pants have always seemed to want to slide down, which got worse, obviously, with another couple of pounds of gun hanging on my belt.

I then added a pair of 2" wide suspenders, in addition to my belt, and they really made a difference. I snug up the "braces" just enough to put a slight tension on the straps, so they don't dig into my shoulders, just keep the pants from sliding down.

I generally wear a t-shirt, then the suspenders and then an over shirt to hide everything.

That was the solution for me. Now I can wear it all day and, as others have stated, nearly forget I have it on.
