Concealed indicates not showing. That being the case as others have suggested dress around your full size pistol. For a very close hugging holster (Now watch the talk about barrel not covered and such) I used a Yaqui in a suit carrying a (One of the originals) Smith & Wesson Model 39. If going out on the range to qualify I'd carry a National Match 45 in the same holster.
A proper Yaqui will be no wider than your belt or close.
There's other options that's why guys have "holster boxes".
Comp-Tac offers a gun belt that's tapered in front looking like a dress belt. ($$ though) There's a lot of gun belts offered out there.
The belt will be as important as the holster, if not more so.
Carrying a full size pistol under a T-shirt may or may not work
depending on how loose it is.
You can carry a full size concealed but not as easily or as comfortable as smaller pistol designed with that in mind.
Good luck.
