Welcome to the forum ShaneHD.

Here's a few suggestions and maybe a prediction.

1. While you might think a full size gun is difficult to conceal, you'd be surprised at how little the average person pays attention. I carried a full size Glock 22 OWB and in a shoulder holster for a few months until I got a Glock 27. I currently have been carrying a full size Glock 21SF OWB since September and have not been discovered.

2. Change your dress habits just a little and no one will be the wiser.

3. You might start out with some less expensive holsters or belts, but in the end you will likely find that the old axiom "You get what you pay for" is mostly true. A good holster and at least decent gun belt can make a big difference. I currently only have one gun belt and wear it as much as possible. I really need at least two more in a different color and style to go with the different attire when called for.

4. Try out some things before your license arrives around the house or apartment and see what works for you and to get used to having it on.

BTW, I also am 6' and about 200 lbs. I do have a slightly less athletic build now than a few years ago, but my waist is still smaller than my hips and chest, so it's not too hard to hide my Glock. I also carry two spare mags on my left side. With a good gun belt they aren't really that necessary, but they do kind of balance things out.
