If you are in Houston, I have a couple you can try, and depending on your waist size, a good gun belt with it.
PM Me if interested

The screws that hold the clips on the holster are near the bottom of the leather/kydex, so you spread the gap between the holster and the clips (when clips are already on the belt).
you tuck your shirt in that gap.
Sorry I dont have pics of myself tucking, others may that they can post

Rigid and strong yes, but also inflexible,
the issue is not that the belt will break on the weight, but more so that the belt will flex (like the gun wants to flop over on the side).
I have never used a nylon belt for a gun belt, but I have tried various "strong leather belts" before getting a real gun belt, and WOW what a difference.
a "real" gun belt is what I would recommend - YES, they can be expensive. Mine was about $100 shipped

Assuming you also have a good gun belt (not just any belt that seems sturdy) you can use a holster like Crossbreed Supertuck to easily conceal a full sized Auto under a tucked shirt.
Once you get the belt and holster on, and tucked, YOU will notice a slight bulge, but no one else will.
what I do (more for my own peace of mind) is i 'pillow' out the shirt all around my body, so I don't have a bulge on one side, and nothing on the other.
I have carried under a tucked TSHIRT, and no one has ever noticed.
and almost daily I carry under an untucked Tshirt (not oversized) and have for a couple of years. never an issue.

Find someone in your area with a Crossbreed and a good gun belt, get them to let you try it on, and you will convince yourself quite quickly.
