Welcome. Do take the time to consider your holster, belt, mode of carry and very important, your clothing.
You will want to dress to carry depending on your mode.
I initially thought I would carry IWB ( inside waist band) but when the time came (2 months in 2013), I found I just did not like it and I now always carry OWB. Had to make some clothing changes but this carry seem to work best for me.
Your belt will be very important. Choose a good one.
Your mode of carry will of course determine your holster. Get a good one.
Have you thought about your EDC ( every day carry) gun yet?
I initally planned to carry a compact .40 but switched to a 9mm. Again most important that YOU a are comfortable. No one else can determine this for you.
Keep in touch!
