I'm looking to get a pocket auto for concealed carry. Prime candidates include the Ruger LCP, Kel-Tec P-32 or P-3AT, or NAA Guardian in .32 or .380. (A Seecamp may be a bit too hard to come by at a reasonable price, from what I gather?)
I'd appreciate any recommendations or insights from folks who can compare these based on first-hand experience, in terms of accuracy, reliability out of the box, customer service if needed, and so forth. Ditto factual info comparing the calibers--please refrain from "well, I feel comfortable with it"
One concern: recoil is an issue due to a hand problem. For example, I have to call it quits after about 50 rounds of .38 spl through my S&W 642 with stock grips. Pretty darn uncomfortable. (A heavy DA trigger pull is less of an issue and is in fact desirable to me in a defensive handgun.) I wonder how the ultra-light Kel-Tecs fare in that regard.
