If you are going to do this, find a good CHL class and take it. You will get both advice on TX laws and most likely advice on carry options.Hello Ladies and Gentlemen. I need some advice. I plan to carry concealed this fall using constitutional carry after getting some training, taking a course or two on the law and buying some insurance. I am not new to firearms, but don't shoot enough and have no knowledge of concealed holsters. I have tried to learn about them, but find I am getting confused about all the options. Could the members please give me and other new potential concealed carriers some lessons about holster selection. Start with the basics such as IWB vs OWB vs ambi, where you wear the holster, belts, materials, features and whatever I am overlooking. I personally am 5'8" and 160#, but was hoping not to have to get a new wardrobe to conceal the firearm. I am retired and wear shorts and a light nylon belt and tee shirt probably at least seven months of the year. I plan to carry a P365xl with a RDS. Thanks in advance.
Lots of folks have mentioned belts. I dress like you, and these belts are BOTH sturdy AND lightweight. I've got 4 of them (2 leather, two nylon) and have worn them for several years. They look as good today as the day I bought them. They are NOT cheap, but they a a great value, and I MUCH prefer them to a heavy thick leather belt. I've worn them with a Glock 21 with light and they held up beautifully. Barely notice my current Glock 43X on my hip.

Finally, I suggest you begin carrying on your strong side at 3:30-4:00 to get used to it, either OWB or IWB. I prefer OWB myself and carry using a good index holster. I highly recommend https://onyour6designs.com holsters. Made in San Antonio, they are great folks. I know a lot of folks who wear their holsters, and no complaints.
