Pocket Handguns:Small 9mm Auto or 642 Airweight?
I have 2 micro nines and one 642. The 642 is my drop in the pocket gun more often than not. The revolvers lend them selves to easier pocket draw than the micro nines. Mind you all of them if pocket carried are always in a pocket holster.

I've yet to find the less than hobbiest enthusiast female who wanted to be armed that gave a single F'k about stopping a food court shooter at 25 plus yards.
re caliber Claude, DB, D-Con training have all made the case for sub caliber snubbies better than I can. Those are a way, not the only way.
Only 1 out of 5 non-hobbyist females I've seen couldn't work a J frame very well in that context. The one outlier went to somewhere else and chose a .32 Keltec that was sort of reliable most of the time. Great.
The biggest mistake by far that I made when teaching my wife to shoot was letting her try a lightweight J frame. Even with only standard pressure practice ammo, it took me years to correct her resulting flinch.
