I'm about to order a higher ride leather holster. To me, a higher ride holster places the gun's ejection port at least midway on the top edge of the belt. In this configuration, is there an advantage for either a straight drop holster vs. an fbi holster? The holster will be for a full-size 45 with an 1 1/4" belt. I am also very interested in leather holster recommendations.
 
I have a Don Hume holster that is a straight drop and I where it
at about 4:00. I find that the handle prints out the back and if
I tilt it forward about 5 degrees that goes away.
I would vote for the FBI to eleminate that problem but if you like
your holster at 3:00 stright will work fine.
 
Behind the hip I prefer FBI Cant, in front of the hip, canted the other way at a lower angle, and on the hip bone a straight drop.
