Holsters for a 1911
I'm looking at holsters for a 1911 that I recently purchased. First, I need to mount a holster under the seat or under the dash on my company car. I've been told that there are some out on the market that are made to mount on a flat surface, but I haven't found any. If anybody has a brand they could suggest for this so I could dig up some info, I'd appreciate it.
Also, I need to find a holster to use for occasional carry. I'm considering a high-ride belt or paddle holster, but I think my "spare tire" is going to prevent me from carrying that way without the butt of the grip poking me in the arm or making a tent out of my jacket. I realize that the 1911 isn't the easiest thing in the world to carry, but it's either carrying it or nothing until my budget lets me make another purchase. Also, I think I probably need to go with a Kydex holster. I really like leather, but I can't live with staining my clothes from it. Does anyone in the Kansas City area stock a variety of holsters, or should I plan on buying by mail order until I find something I like?

Ditto on ItGoBangs post. I have several Fobus holster (I live in Illinois, so I don't carry except from time to time at the range) and I really like the operation. They look like they shouldn't work at all but they really do a great job!
