I carry a j frame every day in a pocket holster and like a lot of others, trust that it will get the job done if needed. I will say that while traveling in some areas, I carry two, one in a upside down shoulder rig and one in the front jeans pocket...but 99 percent of the time it is just my 340PD in the front pocket. I started with a j frame maybe around 1999 and then got sick with semi-itis and it cost me considerable amounts of time and money. Probably 15 or so mag fed missteps that came and went including a pair of Rohrbaugh R9 micro 9mm pistols. The Rohrbaughs were a close second to the 340PD for pocketable firepower that carry like a dream but in the end reliability is king, and I find myself back in the j frame pocket carry mode and for me it's what works.
