May I ask why a drop leg?
Unless you are putting on and taking off armor all the time, they are pretty worthless.
Not to be a jerk, but do a search- this topic has been covered a bunch.
General consensus is Safariland is a good way to go.
Chef8489- Sorry mate, I shouldn't have assumed you didn't.
Try over at lightfighter too, you should find some good threads there. I don't have any good experience with mine (haven't used it enough to give a thorough review), but so far with my limited use I'm happy with my Safariland 6004 system.

Tim and Hilton at 10-8 have compiled the following guide for selecting a Safariland SLS/ALS holster for 1911s and most common WMLs. It's a good resource that you may not have been aware of.
Safariland is hands-down the most popular drop-leg holster among trainers, LEOs and .mil personnel I have talked to.

Safariland should have you covered, if you use their website its quite user friendly.
I have three Safarilands for this exact application, and I couldn't be happier. The biggest limitation with the new ones is the actual belt, everything else on the current models is very well sorted out.
Bladetech, RCS, GCode, and a few other kydex makers come to mind if you're looking at running a thight platform to mount them on.
Another option to consider if you have relatively low profile armor is the UBL attachment for the Safariland models - it covers the middle ground between the hip and thigh attachments, and adding something like the QLS or MLS QD system will space it away from your leg a bit more too, while adding the ability to swap the holster around.
