I'm going to narrow my search to the N82 Tactical and the Crossbreed style holsters. I think bigger is the way to go for comfort.

Can't personally comment on the Crossbreed but have a friend with one and the comfort level is as described previously. He's older than I am being in his
late vs. early-60's and he knew enough to know that folks with an uncomfortable carry solution don't have a solution at all if it makes them even contemplate not doing so. He doesn't regret the Crossbreed at all.
I recently went from a long-time appendix thing from Comp-Tac that I'd installed a J-hook on to replace the standard clip. The last 3 years of my mil/DAC careers I was doing more office than field work and put on some slight girth I didn't care for. So a full-size gun "drooping" because of the J-hook wasn't an issue. Now that I'm retired and actually more active I'm back down to fighting weight & that issue reared its head. I've gone back to another one I had similar to the Crossbreed that distributes the attachment points using leather & regular hooks.
Huge improvement in comfort & the gun doesn't shift at all. There is a
very slight difference in cant angle from traditional AC but nothing that doesn't occur in normal movement and the hand finds the gun regardless. You're not someone I'd suspect of having a bunch of girth to push against a belt so standard clips should be fine & actually work better with a full-size.
Tiny bit more cumbersome to put on in the morning but these things seem to become muscle memory like filling our pockets; non-issue. I'm convinced that the hybrid (molded w/leather & 2 attachment points) really works well for a variety of situations. If I were shopping now I'd go Crossbreed in a f'instant. While I have a couple of little things for special occasions, the
smallest thing I normally have is a G19 so comfort but with solid performance matters.
Just my $.002 & wishing you luck.
