Since my wife took my Mustang Pocketlite in .380 I now carry a S&W Model 38 Airweight Bodyguard in .38 with RBCD ammo.
However, I do have a Browning Baby that will easily ride in a front shirt pocket. It is better than nothing.

.380 ACP Grendel P-12. Weighs 16.5-17 ozs. with 11 rounds of Winchester Silvertips or Federal Hydra-Shoks. I may revert back to a .38 special Smith & Wesson airweight J frame, because on the whole I feel small revolvers are more reliable than small semi-auto's.

Mouseguns that I have carried...
Davis Derringer .38 Special
CVA vest pocket Derringer .31 percussion
The snub nosed revolvers and Walther PPK sized auto's are one size too large to be considered "mouseguns".

CZ-70
It's kinda large and heavy for the caliber, but it's easy to shoot and very accurate.
I might need to get a P32 one of these days. I've tried one, and liked it but still prefer my CZ.

Colt 380 Goverment or sometimes a Kel- Tec P-32. The P-32 is easy to conceal - even in a bathing suit.

Really cheap, but functional.
The Derringers are strictly a "get off me gun". I always carry a Spyderco Clipit in my pants pocket and I keep a blackjack in my coat pocket.
What I like about the Davis Derringer is that its flat. When I put it in the breast pocket of a workshirt, the bulge looks like I have a pack of smokes rather than a gun. This is very good concealment.
The CVA vest pocket derringer (percussion) is really there for style as I use it as a fob on the chain of my pocket watch. I like to dress up with a white shirt (french cuffs, gold cufflinks) and silk vest. The fob is loaded of course (10gr FFFG and .31 caliber ball w/ #11 cap).

History is clear on pocket pistols
I hope one day soon the term mouse gun is viewed as the "M" word, you know, the good natured term when used among friends but the ugly term when used by anyone not a friend. It's a product of the bigger is better "big frame uber alles" thinking.
I own and enjoy a number of full size and compact pistols and at the same time I've been a fan of pocket pistols all my life. Now I find the term vest pocket pistol even more fascinating upon learning of their potential value in an emergency.
Without planning it I've slowly been drawn into the world of collecting pocket and vest pocket pistols. I'm amazed at how many variations have been produced and carried all over the world in the last century. I find more civilian, police and military .25's and .32's than anything else and they are uniformly of high quality and made by the big names, Walther, Savage, Colt, Mauser, Astra, CZ, SIG, Sauer, Steyr, LLama, Star, Browning, MAB, Feg, Beretta, etc. These were and are "man guns" and I believe they have always done the job they were designed to do, protect their owners from imminent danger.
I am always pleased and invigorated when my "in hand" .32 knocks down 60% to 70% of the steel plates at my club range. I've not tried knocking down all the plates with the back of my hand or my closed fist but I doubt I would do as well and I'm sure it would hurt like hell. I know I am better able to defend myself with a .32 (or a .25 or a .22) in my hand than bare handed. Big frame thinking aside the song I urge you to sing is "Stayin' Alive."
