I've been using the same belt, a 1 1/2" 5-stitch for a couple years now. I've noticed something that might help you.

I carry about 3:30 with reloads opposite side, probably same as you. When I tighten the belt, the pistol has to be in it's "final resting place", the spot where it will "settle" as you move around. If not, the once tight belt feels looser as the pistol shifts and releases some of the tension. I notice this most with my IWB.

I'm not sure the CSM would help, as this is a tightness issue, not a support issue. I carry a steel 5" 1911, two reloads, flashlight and two knives. I'm getting good support from the regular 5-stitch. I want to know what the CSM guys are totin'!
