My immediate reaction would be: in a pocket. If he was wearing a trench-coat, in the pocket of that. Otherwise, his jacket pocket. I don't think it would fit easily in the pocket of his trousers, and I think it would show. You're right that he would need to be careful about the sights catching, etc.. Since he carried a weapon so rarely I doubt if he would have his clothes modified for that purpose. I suppose he might have one or two jackets with strengthened pockets which he would wear on those occasions when he knew he wanted to carry a weapon.
I feel it would be unlikely that he would use a holster. Gentlemen just didn't own them then! And I think gentlemen tended to wear braces to hold up their trousers and not belts.
