I'd probably go with a Springfield. There are cheaper ones out there, but I'd be worried about overall reliability and ability to feed hollowpoints.

Recently bought a Glock 23 Gen4, love it so far. Got a Fobus paddle holster, seems too tight, I can't draw it at all.

I will have to look. I didn't see something obvious last night, but it was late and I didn't mess much with it. If there isn't, I'm taking it back and getting something else. Thing is like a vice.

Get a Bladetech (not a serpa) or an Uncle Mike's.

Yea, no screws at all on that Fobus. Returned!

I like the Serpa's button/lever release. Why you say not them?

Oh, I do like the sound of that Razor series. http://www.blade-tech.com/IWB-Razor-Series-pr-1255.html

But $70 seems quite a bit more than I'm willing to spend. To me, $30 for a Serpa sounds reasonable.
