Excaliber - Ya expended quite some time and thought on that post. Thanks for the contribution. Especially good point about the OC possibly having quicker "stopping" effect than small, light, slow-moving bullets ...

Earlier Quote: "I've always smiled at the expression "friends don't let friends carry mouseguns,"
Yeah, we had a bunch of t-shirts made up years ago with that - but it was followed by "(unless they would not otherwise carry at all)".

Quote: "If I can conceal and control a full-sized handgun, why downsize?"
Some folks can't - or won't.
It seems that mouse guns are indeed the everyday "primary carry gun" for a surprising percentage of CHL people, people who, by human nature, would otherwise not carry at all due to discomfort or (often simply perceived) difficulty concealing something larger.
From the feedback received in renewal classes over the years, maybe 50 percent of TX license holders in our area actually carry regularly "on body". And about half of those have decided to "downsize" rather than carry one exclusively in the car - or even worse, not have one with them at all.

Re: So, anybody else CCW a mousegun?
Real regularly if PM-9 or S&W340 are small enough to meet your definition of "mouse gun". 
While doing some work up and down on a little scaffold last week while wearing draw-string shorts in some hot and humid weather, I did substitute the NAA .22 mag with 1 5/8" barrel. Last week too, there was a pretty favorable article in SWAT magazine on the new Ruger .380 LCP. It made me "need" that new mouse gun even more.
