How do you carry when you go to a black tie event

BFR in 475 Linebaugh usually... Oh, I never go to black tie events.

But seriously, it would be something very small and I probably wouldn't carry at all.

Like the fellow mentioned above, wearing a suit to a black tie (read tuxedo) affair is cause for revocation of the gentleman card. A metaphor I used with my young sons years back to teach them the fine art of behaving properly with women.
To retain ones card, only a real tux will do. And with that tux, any item of mass and weight in a pocket will distort the shape and fit of the garment and you're within a hairsbreadth of losing ones card.
The only technique is a tight-fitting shoulder holster with a modest sized gun (a plausible reason why James carried a small caliber weapon) and/or an ankle holster with another modest sized semi.
No gun in pockets or in cumber bun. And while we're at it, no baseball caps turned backwards. Nothing.

Absolutely correct on all points.

I am in a ministerial robe 90% of all my Black tie affairs so I can carry a shotgun under that thing. Mostly I have my old Charter Undercover in my pocket and a buck 110 on my belt.

Since tuxedos come in many styles, choose one with a waistcoat (vest) and opt for a vest pocket piece.

Unless you are IN the wedding party you can choose what style of 'black tie' matches the event.

I pocket-carry a Taurus .25 auto.

Front pocket or shoulder holster (assuming you are not wearing a belt with your black-tie).

They make tuxes with belt loops?
