Bryan: I have had experience with the AMT 380 and would advise against it. That pistol has a safety that will allow the hammer to fall without detonating a cartridge, if you forget to disengage the safety before pulling the trigger. If that happens you need to recock the piece before it will fire. But, don't worry about that, you'll be dead before you get the chance.
If you really want a DAO pocket rocket my suggestion is for a lightweight snubbie in 38 spl with 158 - 200grain SWCs. Any of the hammerless S&Ws or Taurus revolvers should work for you there. Another suggestion is the Airweight Bodyguard, the S&W Model 38. Not hammerless but it has a concealed hammer that allows both single and double action shooting and doesn't snag or hangup in the pocket or vest.
Just my 2 cents worth. This is Mikey.
