I probably carry more in the front than most (About 1230 or so). I look for straight-drop, relatively low riding holsters.
I've used leather, kydex, & nylon, so this is what I've found works for me. Nylon isn't comfortable (To me) over long periods, but since they're not molded, they can hold more than one make/model of gun. Kydex is more comfortable than nylon, but not quite good as leather. However, it keeps moisture (Sweat) away from the gun better than the others & is generally thinner (Helps in comfort & great for tuckables). Leather's the most comfortable & best looking, IMHO. It's not the best in summer, but definitely what I prefer if it's not too hot.
For leather, I use UBG holster (The Nassar model), it was made for that. For kydex, I use the Fist #8 (Ultra-thin). Both are tuckable.
For short periods & for a new gun that I don't have a holster for, I use a Desantis Stealth. It's also a straight drop holster & has an elastic pouch for an extra mag, which you can get to with your weak hand since it's in front of your hip (Another advantage of appendix carry, along with being able to access the gun with your weak hand too, if need be).
I really haven't had to modify my holsters. If you're looking for a leather one, I'd highly recommend UBG holsters. His 3rd IWB model was initially made for appendix carry (I believe).
