Yes, I've seen exactly that same "stuck cylinder syndrome" with the hottest Winchester. They're either making the rim too thick, or it's too weak and is bulging under pressure.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you--been away from the Net.
Of course, YMMV regarding the folding grips. I tend to wear more form-fitting jeans casually. With sufficiently baggy pants, I guess they'd work fine (of course, with sufficiently baggy pants, even a full-sized snubby or mini-Glock is possible!).
For rear-pocket carry of the NAA, I prefer the Thab Rybka paddle holster (the one with the snap closure for 5 extra rounds for a speed-reload--LOL). It breaks up the lines just as much, lies flatter overall, maintains proper orientation in the pocket, and is much more accessible. For front pocket carry, I prefer the little suede holster that comes with the mini. I've even heard of folks prying off the metal belt-clip to reduce its size even more (haven't gone that far yet).
Given the folding grip version, I think I may be just as inclined to carry a Beretta Jetfire or a KT P32. I think they'd carry about as well, and would be much more accessible for a first shot. The bulk is roughly comparable to a bar of bath soap.
The more I think about it, I think I'm placing the capability of the first shot in higher priority than the relative bulk of the folding grips. It really is a two-handed operation to get the gun in proper firing position once you've gotten it out of the pocket. I imagine some people might be able to flick it open balisong-style and get it properly aimed--but that's finer motor skills than I'd want to depend on in a crisis!
Just some thoughts and personal experiences... As a previous writer mentioned, you might want to buy multiple grips and experiment.
Good luck,

Follow up to my Chrony numbers.... I just bought a box of CCI TNT, it was the hottest by far of any load I could find clocking a 30 gr pill at 1230 fps adv. from the BW.
The Win Supreme, once again, jammed on a case. weak brass no doubt.
Not all that clear what the differences are between the TNT and +v...velocities and bullets are different but why?

The first gun I bought after getting the CCW here was the .22 NAA revolver. Had one 30 or so years ago but traded it to an LEO for a .44 black powder revolver. Now I have one for my watch pocket...and I like that. Not much good beyond 10 feet but the way laws are in Michigan you'd be able to stick it in a perf's ear before you could legally use it. Besides, it's cute!

The difference between the original +V and the new TNT variant is the projectile design. The TNT uses a Sierra pill that's probably going to expand at NAA BW velocities. The +V is the same weight and supposedly the same powder charge for the same ballistics, but it's less likely to expand.
So if you want "deep punch" such as on a headshot, go with the original...if you want max sting on a torso hit, go TNT. Or stagger the two like I do.
