"...there's not much room in a clutch bag..."
Let me give you a little tip for hands-free and shoulder-free carry: thigh-high single leg pantyhose w/o the panty part.
The very comfortable wide elastic bands can carry a multitude of stuff tucked into them if you don't wear extremely tight skirts of extremely thin fabric: folding cash, condoms, tampons, a flat lighter, Photon, lip tube of Vasoline (for firestarting -- what did you think?). You can wear the flat stuff in front, but you'll have to shift the bulkier stuff to the inside a bit.
A small handgun like a "Baby Browning"/Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket Pistol could fit okay, but it may shift a bit, so you'll probably have to wear a fuller skirt, and be prepared to shift it occasionally (discretely, of course) after dancing or walking much. (I tried it with a small Beretta, but 5" is just a bit too bulky.)
I strongly suggest going with the widest band you can find, both for comfort and "storage" room.
