I havent tried the guns you mentioned but I can see the advantage for their smaller size and lighter weight a benifit even with a DAO trigger... If I was gonna pocket carry daily those might be a more comfortable option.
I'm so used to shooting double stack pistols that the 2 finger grip on those mouse guns I mentioned makes them not fun to shoot. However, if I had borrowed my wife's Taurus 738 I could certainly put rounds into an attacker at 7yds or under. Beyond that gets sketchy.
We have a pocket holster that is very nice... it is a soft but thick cloth that stays in the pocket on the draw. Really hides the print well, in fact it can be carried in a back pocket w/o printing.
The wife likes her little mouse... I couldn't get her to continue carrying her 2" .357... she says it's too heavy... I'm not surprised... Hey as long as she carries something!
