Shooting our CC matches exposed a lot of faults in both carry pistols and carry methods.
While I still carry a J frame once in awhile, I'd rather throw it at someone than try to do a reload under fire.
Increase distance and the smaller pistols don't work as well as a full size pistol, it's just a fact.
Select what you shoot the best while still being able to conceal it and get out and train. Draws and reloads are just as important as shooting yet most neglect practice.
