One big thing I would say is shoot the gun with the ammo you plan to use through it. People shoot ball round which is cheap.. and save the expensive stuff for carry. You really need to know if your firearm is reliable with the ammo you shoot! It is expensive but long run it can save your life.
You also may need different guns for carry.. When wearing shorts, I use to carry a 380. Now I appendix carry a S&W shield or MP9C. Just picked up a P365 to try out. Be sure to buy quality holsters.. Not the Uncle Mike crap holsters. I like kydex but some people like leather..
I tend to like OWB holsters if I can conceal them with a untucked shirt or jacket.
Practice practice practice your draw with your gun unloaded. Need to be smooth at it and create muscle memory. This is great because you don't need to be at a range to practice.
Hope this helps.. There's so much more to learn. I'd take a class on it if I were you.. It is fun and educational.

Regarding why I would ask someone who just started, because they would be able to tell me more of the "I wish someone told me"
