If you are on a small price range you can go to thrift stores, I found a whole set of acu camo for $6 Edit: A bayonet wouldn't look bad, that is if your going for a light weight cqb loadout.
As Bubba mentioned, you'll want to hike your holster up as far as possible. You basically want it just low enough to clear whatever gear you're wearing.
Check out this link, it has a lot of good holster tips.
Yeah, a lot of those webbing style holsters are a pain in the ass. You might consider looking into a SERPA, Safariland or G-Code. These polymer holsters don't move around as much and tend to have wide variety of mounting methods available. They also keep your pistol nice and secure. It's no fun when your $120 pistol falls out of its holster on the concrete.
Alternatively, you could take a look at how the holster adjusts and try to modify it. I modified several of my old SERPA drop-legs into high-ride style holsters. Basically the modification did away with one of the two leg straps and the straps that anchored the gun to the belt. Instead of the long belt straps, I added a thick piece of velcro that would wrap through one of the mounting cut-outs at the top of the holster and then wrap around the belt.
I run a G-Code currently, but have used SERPAs extensively in the past. The thing I like about SERPAs is that if you have a relatively common pistol (1911, Glock 17, etc) you can usually find a holster at your local sporting goods store (Dunhams, Gander Mtn, etc). When my KWA ATP (Glock look-a-like) arrived in the mail I just hopped in my car and 15 minutes later I had a SERPA holster for it from the Gander Mountain down the road.
