Super posts with much food for thought and much appreciated as I'm also considering a J-frame pocket pistol. If I may summarize...
Airlite -- why go there?
Airweight -- no problem with .38spl
Steel -- needed for +P and a bit much for pocket carry (so why not consider more gun for IWB -- like RugerSP101 which I've always wanted)
And the Ruger LCP is not totally off my radar screen for pocket carry.
I've tried various guns in my pocket in the gun store, but this is not like carrying it for several hours, and also need to add ammo weight, so I'm leery of erring on the heavy side. Again, thanks for all the insight by those who are experienced!
