One thing that you are not taking into consideration is the barrel length of the weapon of choice. Most Ballistic Tables give the barrel length of the weapon used to produce the results, and in the revolver it is usually a 4 inch barrel. You are going to lose much speed and energy with the shorter barrel of the pocket gun. The calibers that you mention produce less than desirable stats in the full size weapons, they are going to suffer greatly in a pocket gun. As for the NAA Mini Revolver, in my opinion you will be just as well off with the .22LR version as the .22 Mag. With the mag, all the energy is going to burn up outside the barrel.
I once carried a NAA Mini in .22 mag, bought me and my dad both one at the same time and carried it for years. The down side to it is the small grip and the Single Action design. If you are with the 3 foot area that you are talking about, you may very well be fighting over that gun after you discharge the first round. You may loose control of your weapon fumbling around trying to cock it the second time. About twelve years ago, a guy I know was fumbling with his and shot me in the side of the leg just above the knee, I guarantee you that I could have taken it from him before he could fire another shot. Thank God, the penetration sucked. I didn't even go to the doctor.
I am with Protective Measures, look into a small pistol of at least .380 preferably 9mm.
