P290RS with 147 grain ammo

Looking for input from those who have the P290RS - I'm considering one of these as a possible pocket carry gun ( and what I wear - cargo pants - will conceal it with no problems ). I have found, through experience, that I shoot the lower power 147 grain 9mm loads better than their lighter brethren. But there isn't anywhere where I can try one out, and I know no one who has one to try out.

Can anyone give me any input here on the P290RS and how it handles the 147? I haven't had much luck with compact nines - they always seem to fly out of my hands ( hated the Nano, LCP didn't work too well for me ). But I haven't had the opportunity to try one with the 147's. I have no trouble with a J frame or an LCR, by the way - but I'd like more capacity and a quicker reload. P290RS, on paper at least, seems to be about right - but looking for input from actual users.
Thanks.
