Kel-Tec P11 holster

Just got the P11 recently & really like it, but got to get a proper holster.
I need something that I can wear every day, work, play, whatever.
My work is handling boxes, doing full squats & carrying them against me. I'm also in & out of the truck all day... seat belt on, seat belt off.

I used a CrossBreed Supertuck w/ my 1st gun, a 38 Special, & it was OK, but I decided I really need to try an outside belt holster for this one.

I'm thinking a well made leather holster that holds the gun tight to the belt, & holds it snug w/o a top strap.

It seams that around 3 O clock works well, but I wish I could explore a couple other options like appendix or cross draw, but don't want something that is going to be in the way of squatting, seat belts, etc. Maybe in time. Cash is somewhat limited right now.

Along w/ any opinions on the things I just mentioned, one other question is about the leather holsters that some offer that can be worn either inside or out on the belt. Most seam to have leather belt loops. That makes me wonder if the loops would allow for more play when drawing rather that a nice, solid holster (although it would be handy not to have to thread a belt each time I put on a different pare of pants).

The reason I mention this is for the rare case that I feel the need to tuck mt shirt in. Besides, I may be doing a different job some day & have to tuck my shirt. But if the holster that does both is going to be a compromise on stability, I think I should think about just getting an IWB later if I really need it.

One other thing, I guess I'd better go w/ someone that could send it out in fairly soon... maybe a month or less.
Thanks for any thoughts.
