Tubby, I have one of those (Bond Arms 45/410). I don't carry in a pocket. The WEIGHT is fine, but it's hard to draw (single-action hammer snags. To not snag, it'd need pockets too loose for good carry, IMO).
A different holster might help if I were dedicated to pocket carry, of course.
As a daily AIWB, it's superb though. It requires PRACTICE (all carry guns do, and SHOULD) but I can safely draw and engage 3-5 yd targets quickly and effectively. The ability to put three or four 000 Buck pellets on target instantly, with a low-powered cast lead "cowboy" 45 Colt load to follow more than makes up for the fact it's not a 5-6 shot 38 or 380, IMO.
