Warning though that you'll need to shop around for a great ankle holster because some of them are terrible in design.
While the "little guns" (of course) are not ideal - for obvious reasons - they DO give you the ability to send some potentially deadly projectiles "out there" to "reach out and touch someone" and that is always a good thing.
I sure would rather have a mouse gun than no gun.

Great advice.
I know what it's like to work in an "anti" gun environment and have to be very concerned about my carry.
I usually carried my Colt Mustang (a .380) in an IWB holster at 4 o'clock. Because the gun and holster combo are so small it really was super light and concealable in all manner of attire from suits to light shirts and slacks. I really didn't have to go to anything like ankle carry or smart carry, I was just picky on the types of clothes that I wore and I was still very professional and comfortable.
And yes, a good majority of the time I could still carry and conceal my 1911. Especially since my office job did not require much bending, lifting or reaching. I sat in an office chair all day. Nothing wrong with that.
I know how you feel about not wanting to try 16 million holsters before you find the right one.. that stuff gets expensive and if it doesn't work it can also be hard to get rid off too.
First, I would suggest getting a good quality IWB for your 1911. Then look into a smaller gun for those days when required attire may restrict your carry. Look into a good IWB for that gun and go from there. I doubt you will need anything more, but that was all I ever needed to be completely concealed 100% of the time while working.
I wish you luck!
Oh.. P.S. And as my knives all have clips on them, they were clipped all over me.. on my skirt, in my pocket, in my shoe. I had great versatility with my blades and they were very concealable.
