I began having lower back pain after an injury from a use of force.
Last year I bought the Back Defender System and I can tell you that it's the best thing I've ever bought. It completely raises my duty belt off my hips and distributes the weight onto my shoulders. This has significantly reduced the pain I get while wearing my duty belt.
The initial setup is a bit tedious and it may require you to arrange your duty belt slightly but it's completely worth it. If you do choose to get the Back Defender, be aware that it will change how high your gun sits on your hip. I ended up getting a low ride holster holster adapter (Safariland Adapter)to lower the gun back to where it was.
+1 on all the points here, especially on the Safariland instead of the Serpa.
Personally, I use the Safariland 6360 ALS/SLS for my 1911, which provides Level-III retention; here's one in basketweave finish and one in a plain black finish for the G19 if you're interested.
Note that by default it comes with a belt loop for 2.25" duty belts (which is how I wear mine), but you can get Universal Belt Loop adapters for other belt widths so it can be worn with dress belts - here's a UBL for 2" belts, and here's one for 1.5" belts.
I like the 6360 a bit better than the 6378 because of the added retention provided by the SLS hood, as well as the secure belt loop instead of the paddle.
Also, the offer for OC company is a good one; I'll be happy to give you guys company on your OC jaunts on the weekends, if you can PM me about a day in advance.
