Buy a holster such as the supertuck that can be adjusted for ride depth. I find that if I have my holster too high on my side, it cuts into my love handle. Supertuck is adjustable and allows me to have the gun lower on my waist. I can actually have my gun grip just above the belt line. I had an uncle mikes and it worked but it would ride so high it pushed the pistol grip into my side when I sat down. If you get the supertuck....don't get the combat cut.

Wearing an undershirt tucked into your underwear helps too, it just looks kind of weird until you put your shirt on. It keeps your undershirt from bunching up under your holster though.

Just seconding what the others have said. Don't skimp on the belt or holster. You want a belt that is built for carrying a gun on. They will resist flexing and stop the holster from pushing away from you.

Until you figure out what position is going to be comfortable to you, it might not hurt to get one of the many holsters with adjustable cant. I don't think I've seen anything negative about the MTAC or Supertuck. Both offer adjustable cant, widely spaced clips to distribute the weight of the gun along the belt, and a large leather backing. The MTAC will let you buy kydex shells to fit different guns for a lower price than a new holster.
