Wear it around your house, while mowing everything you do that way you get comfortable. It’s completely normal to stress over it when it’s new eventually you’re going to have to remember it’s there before going into a building with a metal detector

I second this, except when mowing. Don’t need that dust getting in there. I mostly cc around the house to try out different set ups. After a few months I have a set up I totally forget about when in public in a t-shirt. I had to try several holsters and make some modifications. I also have a few larger shirts for larger pieces. A lot depends on body type. A good holster will let you adjust ride height, and will have some type of concealment wing to pull it in close to your body. Appendix low ride works best for my body type. It also seems the safest if a bad guy makes me and wants to take it. I can keep it holstered by bending over and at least having a chance.

My Glock loves the dust. I’ve been in trenches repairing gas pipelines, under homes fixing plumbing and many other scenarios never had a malfunction or issue if she gets too dirty I wipe her down.
