The draw is great; Easier than from my Kholster actually. You can adjust the tension to make it as tight or as loose as you wish. And sitting down is not an issue. The end of the barrel is at least 2 inches from the seat.

Thanks for all the advice, folks. I finally settled on an El Paso Saddlery High Slide (http://www.epsaddlery.com/pc-149-20-high-slide.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). MSRP is $64, but I picked it up at CTD in McKinney for $39 (they had 3 more in stock if anyone in the area is interested). A few things about this holster:

1) The gun sits higher then it did in my Kholster, but still in about the same position as my Sig P220. I'm not sure if it's IWB vs OWB, or just that my Kholster is designed for my Sig, but it's better than I anticipated.

2) This is much, much more comfortable than my Kholster. I'm pretty sure that's going to be the overall difference between IWB & OWB.

3) The gun sits closer to my side than I expected. I've got a DeSantis OWB holster for my Ruger P89 and it sticks out like a sore thumb. I guess I just wasn't expecting an OWB holster to sit this close.

4) I've been wearing it around the house for a few days now and even carried it to Synagogue this past Shabbat. All I can say is I really, really like the feel of this.

Thanks again!!!

That's better than "Made in Taiwan"!

You're welcome.

I'm not yet fully familiar and comfortable with the manual of arms for a 1911 and so won't be carrying my new Kimber for awhile. But I am interested in opinions on the concealability of a 5" 1911. Right now my EDC is a full sized Sig P220 w/ rail in a Kholster Full Moon so I'm comfortable concealing somewhat larger pistols. Anyone have any advice?
