I am a big fan of pocket carry of small handguns, like an LCR, a Chief's Special, Dick Special, or in autos, a PPK, a Sig 230, or the LCP. Particularly useful in hot weather. Somebody 5'8, 145 lbs is not going to easily pocket carry the above handguns, but a big guy (I'm not to tiny myself) can drop any of the above in a pocket and go on.

In cooler weather, one can up the payload and conceal under coat, jacket, vest, etc.

One thing for sure, take it with you. A four figure 1911 is no good in the vehicle or on the dresser when your incident goes down.
