Full size S&W M&P 9 OWB DeSantis scabbard with thumb break. I OC the majority of the time, but it covers well with just an untucked shirt, if I decide to CC.

Since I live in a reasonably quiet, rather rural area, I often carry a Ruger Security Six OWB, and a speed strip in a belt pouch. I almost always wear button up shirts untucked (even before getting my CHL/LTC), so I still cover it up, though. A good GUN belt is the key to carrying a full-size firearm.

Your 100% correct. The belt is the key

Full size XD-45. Lives in a Triple T IWB holster on an actual gun belt (forgot what brand of belt).

That sits at about 4 o clock, with a spare mag on my left side.

I sometimes carry Glock 17 with a +2 magazine. It's fairly easy to conceal. I also carry once in a great while either a full-sized M&P45 or a 5" 1911. Concealing a full sized gun - even OWB - is not that hard if you dress around the gun. And if you're going to OC, then of course, concealability is irrelevant. The main reason I usually carry my G19 instead of the G17 is that its compact size and slightly lighter weight makes carrying that much easier.

Tanfoglio BTA90 9mm, 12+1, chambered round, safety off. OWB nylon paddle with thumb break.

I carry openly where I can, conceal as the situation dictates, disarm only if I must. I prefer OWB. When wearing a suit or a winter coat, my pistol will be behind clothing just because that's how works.
