SATX, I have little doubt that the vast majority of people interested in a small revolver for SD would be more comfortable with one chambered in .38 Spcl. or .357. They are traditional, they are simple, there are no complications with moon clips, possible bullet pull issues, etc.
That being said, I do like the 9MM revolvers, and have a S&W 940 and Ruger SP-101 chambered in 9mm. The moon clips required are not an issue for me. Ballistics of the 9MM cartridge in these little 2" and 3" revolvers fall between 38 Spcl. +P and .357 Magnum. Over all good, bad? Each will decide, but most will choose a traditional revolver cartridge....
BTW, trigger pull with any manufacturer's production guns will vary. I have more than one S&W. No two with same trigger pull. My Ruger trigger is heavier, but just as smooth as the S&Ws. But someone else might have the exact same models, with better or worse triggers.
