I just bought my very first handgun ever. I bought a glock 23 & I absolutely love it. I havent bought a holster yet and I really need some advice on what holsters you all use and like the best. I want some advice about both concealment and regular holsters please.

I personally would not recommend aiwb for 1st time carriers.

I like this Front Line holster for IWB carry. It is comfortable to me all day long. They are the suppliers for IDF and other Isreali high speed low drag units.

For OWB I like the Fobus paddle holsters.

But this is just me.
What works for me or someone else may not work for you...
So before people start spouting off makes and models, we really need more info to help point you in the right direction.
In addition to the positional information that F2S asked about, some info on your body type and usual clothing that you wear would be helpful as well. Congrats on the pistol purchase and taking the steps to responsible concealed carry.

SNot sure ehat owb, iwb or aiwb mean
I want to be able to wear it comfortably and for it to be concealed. Interested in holsters that actually secure and lock in gun securely. I usually wear jeans & tank tops or tshirts
AIWB...appendix inside waist band, inside pants from centerline to hips (lh or Rh hip)
OWB....outside waist band, on belt not concealed inside of pants
IWB.....inside waist band, inside pants
Some more questions...
Budget?
How concealed does it have to be? (in my state it has to be very concealed as we have no provision for open carry)
Activities planned for using your handgun? (IDPA, USPSA etc., etc.)
It's not a simple subject as you are asking strangers to help pick your clothing.
Recommending a "best" holster for concealed carry is very difficult. It's as difficult as recommending the "best" shoe, or the "best" suit. Individual requirements and dimensions are so varied that all we can hope to do is give you a general list of things to look at based on what you have already learned about what you need.
