which holster for my 3" 1911

I just picked up my Springfield Micro Compact .45 (3 inch 1911) and now I need a nice holster for it.

I was originally gonna get a crossbreed... I had one for my XD but it just seemed big and cumbersome... maybe it was the XD's fault.

My normal attire is jeans or shorts and a tshirt so i was thinking IWB but I'd be open to OWB if it can be worn under a regular tshirt.
...my budget is $100 or less

I was also looking at milt sparks summer special but didn't see that they made them for 3 inch 1911's

for fun here are some pics of my new gun

Less than $100, maybe a TT IWB.

Nice weapon - my EDC weapon is usually a Kimber Ultra CDP II - so same format.. they even look similar.

I have both a Crossbreed Supertuck and a Milt Sparks VMII -- I usually wear the VMII... so if you can get one, go for it. They're damn fine holsters.

Sparks VM2 is $108 I believe. Best money spent on a dedicated IWB.

I carry a 3" SA Micro also in a Wild Bill's Covert Carry, very comfortable and secure.

Pure Kustoms makes a Black Ops IWB/OWB two in one. Its about $150.00 but you're getting two holsters in one

Check out the Tucker Gunleather Secret IWB.

Have one on order for my compact, but haven't received it yet so can't tell you much about it other than I like the looks of it.

The Master Holster Link at the top is very informative.
