hi Johnny
I would definetely recomend wearing a belt. Paddle holsters will work without one but are actually designed to be worn with a belt to insure good support and make sure they stay on you hip during presentation.
A friend who carries a G36 uses a clip that bolts on the back of the slide then runs down the side of the frame. It works really well for IWB carry with no belt of holster. I am almost sure that someone makes a similar product for a 1911 but I have no first hand knowledge of this product on a 1911.
Another friend carries a CDP Ultra such as yourself and uses an Andrews Custom Leather IWB holster. Ive got one too for my CDP Pro. I cant say enough good things about this rig. It works great, is very secure and comfortable. While IWB holsters are not as fast as OWB holsters in my opinion I have no trouble with fast presentations. And....this thing concels exceptionally well. Shorts and a T-shirt and Im good to go. But you must wear a belt.
Hope this helps....check out the clip....perhaps someone here can add some more insight to one of these with a 1911. Beware though that this is going to carry your weapon in direct contact with your skin which can be uncomfortable and cause some issues with corrossion due to constant exposure to perspiration.
