Quality leather, but paddle doesn't work for me - Galco Speed Paddle Leather Holster

I recently purchased a Galco Speed Paddle Holster (GC-HT-SPDPDLH-SPD158). However, I find the paddle almost useless. If worn between the inside and outside of the belt (Uncle Mike's, 1 1/2" Instructor's belt), there is too much vertical play before the hook grabs the belt when drawing the weapon. There is also some side-to-side play that only the belt loops stop. I have also tried wearing the paddle INSIDE the pants and outside the belt. This is much more secure, but the hook on the paddle has nothing to engage inside the pants. If the hook was on the holster facing the belt, this would be a perfect solution. Safariland paddles work this way. They are also a lot wider and form fitting for additional stability when drawing the weapon.

I contacted Galco and they said "Look for our new models!". How's that for customer service!
