I would not call it an experiment .
I realize that was not your intent, but after the fact it's what you have. Because you are wounded prey in the third, open-carry phase, reinforces my conclusion in my mind. The experiment is weak only because there is just one sample, you.
I carry a G30 SF .
Not an ostentatious hog leg.
I had one negative with one Oklahoma County Sheriff's Deputy ( FTO ). That happened shortly after open carry took affect in Oklahoma. An off duty deputy told me I should report it. I did not have his name just that he was an FTO ( Field training officer ) He told me I needed to cover it up. I called the Oklahoma Open Carry Association. The person I spoke to told me he had a contact on the Sheriff's Department. Within 10 minutes the Under sheriff called me directly and asked what happened. I told him every detail. The deputy who told me to report it said to me a week later " I saw you made your complaint". I asked how did you know. He told me that the Sheriff's Department called him. Since then no problems .
Two years and your only negative encounter was a single ignorant LEO, and that right after the law changed. That sounds like an excellent record. Of course, you live in a relatively sane state; but, in that state's largest metropolis, right?
