For a truly small, back-up gun, I like the NAA mini mags or the charter arms dixi derringers. To my way of thinking, some of these 380's, like the Rugers and Walthers are good enough to primary carry guns. I think someone could just carry two LCPs if they needed a primary and back-up, so my notion of a "pocket pistol" shrinks beyond that. I think that the NAA mini revolvers are an excellent back-up. They are small enough to hid practically anywhere. They are revolvers so the small and light ammunition is not constantly under pressure from the magazine, (I have had issues with leaving .22 ammo loaded under pressure for long periods of time), they are safe to carry as the hammer does not rest on the shell, and they make one heck of a loud report if you crack a shot off, especially in a garage!. On top of that they are pretty cheap, so carrying one around in a lint filled pocket 24/7 is not as unnerving as it would be with a more expensive piece. Just a different point of view for you to consider.
