Move it a little forward to about 3 o'clock; should help a fair amount.

Also a shorter holster (& necessarily, a shorter gun) will also help.

IMO, weight will make a HUGE difference.

Also some larger gun holsters have a "tab" to help distribute pressure to alleviate the problem.

Carrying a 20 oz Glock 27 or a 28 oz alloy framed 1911 is waaaaay less fatiguing than carrying an all steel 1911 of any version for me.

The Sparks I got from you works well for me as do the 2 Brommelands for a Commander size & a Gov't size 1911.......I have no sciatic issues, but as Mr. Lee noted, he's carried for years w/o any; people are made different. The Brommelands are truly fantastic.

If you want the Sparks back to try for awhile or want to borrow one of the Brommelands to try for a bit, let me know, but they are all for 1911's. The wait on the Brommelands is 6-8 months; I lucked out and found some ready to ship.
