How about the Paddle?
I wanted a Snap Lock but like you, I didn't like the barrel sticking out of the bottom.
My requirements were 1) quick on and off and 2) some kind of retention other than a tension screw. I ended up getting the Paddle Lock for my full size 1911.
It sits high on the belt (I use a 1 1/2 inch belt) and is very easy on and off. Don't know how it would work on a 1 1/4 inch belt.
An added plus with this holster is that it is adjustable for crossdraw, so if you are on a long car trip, you can carry it that way more comfortably than strong side.
I love mine.
