"... it was completely unnoticed on my hip the entire time."
I assume you mean unnoticed by your fellow travelers cause I sure would notice it on my scrawny hip.
I went down carrying the single action Ruger road (40 years ago
). In a great Bianchi belt and holster, after about an hour walking around the desert it went back in the truck. Krikey, I'm aware when I'm carrying an LCP, but then I'm not a very big 'ol boy. Good thing I'm in a safe neighborhood.
