If you are really having trouble, it is worth paying for a custom.
This all goes back to the issue of price vs. cost.
Too often, when people look at gear they look at price rather then cost. They ask themselves, what can I get for the cheapest price that will fit my needs? Then, of course, they compromise on quality. They spend money on 3 and 4 different holsters (in this example) to try to find the "right" one. That is not to mention wear and tear and having to replace it, and so forth.
Often times, going for the cheaper price ends up costing more in the end. And, god forbid, if a piece of equipment were to ever fail in a life or death situation when you need it the most because you tryed to go for the cheaper price? Hell no...
And this is where the custom market comes to play, whether it be sheaths, holsters, or knives, or whatever. May times it is worth paying 2 and 3 times the price for a good piece of equipment that won't cost you in the end. Buying a custom holster will probably save you on cost in the end, as it should be more reliable, tailored to fit you, and more resistant to wear and tear.
Just something to think about. I am not saying to buy the most expensive thing you can find. It is just that often you save on cost with custom gear, even though the price might be a little bit more up front. This is why I am a big advocate of the custom market now a days (particularly with knives, as you can see from my sig. where I am happy to promote products for a good friend of mine).
