I'll accept the difficulty of access when seated, just as I have accepted the compromise of .380 over 9mm and 6+1 over 10+1 rounds.
Springfield Armory XDS in .45. Conceals easily in either IWB or OWB. Plenty of punch.
We have been in NOLA all week and no one has batted an eye when I open carry down here.

I pretty much have done the same thing and gone to pocket carry with a Sig365, Kel-Tec P32, Taurus TCP .380 or a .38spl revolver, and I carry condition one in the autos. I have a good pocket holster, a Mika Pocket holster(EXCELLENT POCKET HOLSTERS!) for each model that fully covers the triggers and it stays in the pocket but the weapon easily comes out if I need to access it.
As a rule of thumb I never carry anything else in the pocket where I am carrying my weapon. If I am driving I have another weapon in the console or glove box should I need to access a piece. If I am at home I have have a handgun near my seat at home. About the only place I am not carrying is at my work where I am prevented from doing so.
As another poster related I hate public restrooms and have a standard check in place when I am finished. I smack my phone in my shirt pocket, my wallet in the back pocket, my car keys in my weak side front pocket and then my firearm in my strong side pocket. The 1,2,3,4 quick count.
