So yeah ... and I don't want to spend a billion dollars :)

Taurus TCP (PT738) if you want a .380. It's better than the LCP because it locks the slide after the last round.

If you are looking for a 9mm (better round and more common than a .380), then try the Taurus PT709 Slim.

By the way, the .40 doesn't have a lot of "kick," what it has is "snappiness" as compared to the .45 ACP.

My dad S&W .45 - and that sucker is hard for me to keep ahold of. I don't like the .45 at all; he loves it and can shoot it like a pro (but he was in the military so a .45 is nothing for him), and I like the feel of the Glock .40 - I haven't shot it yet, but I really like how solid it is - and the weight isn't too much ... I am going to shoot it, but I just haven't gotten around to it. It's also compact and I love that. Compact, stout, and a smooth shot is what I look for.



Is the .380 really a good piece to carry? Is it going to really going to be effective when push comes to shove and it's needed? I don't want it to be like a .22 and just piss someone off.
