Then we will have to agree to disagree.
You have a pretty obvious affinity for wheelguns. Nothing wrong with that (I'm a revolver lover myself) but it's limiting your recommendations imo. As far as matters of opinion go we can disagree perfectly.
The following, however, is not opinion. A small auto is softer shooting due to recoil energy being absorbed by the loading mechanism. There is no logical reason to carry a revolver anymore unless it's personal preference, we crossed that threshold a decade ago. Autos also have the benefit of being at least equal (usually greater) in terms of capacity and reloadability.
Since I called out your bias I'll share my own as well. I do not like the Ruger pocket guns. I find the LCR, LCP, and LC9 to be the equivalent of the new Sig guns. They are attempts to grab a share of a niche market rather than a concerted effort to produce a quality tool. Just personal experience and opinion.
