[QUOTE="virginiafiveo, post: 10478678, member: 39103"] I have a S&W bodygaurd .380. love that gun. very small and compact, 8 rounds, laser sight that is natural to operate and built in. I have big hands and it works great. I also have a springfield XDm 9mm full size that could be carried, but would only carry it if things were significantly more dangerous in the US. the .380 is small enough I almost forget about it. they make a holster that will basically turn it into a wallet so no imprinting. I like the .380...it's no .45acp but when push comes to shove a hole is a hole. .22s are just as deadly. rest assured, I don't care what you are shot with whether it is a .380 or a .45 it doesn't matter, you have a hole in your body and internal body damage, caliber is only useful if you are engaging a vehicle, with a small caliber you will be able to return to target faster and you can easily run out a mag quickly with a 9mm with a tighter spread then you could with a .45. this theory has been tested time and time again by myself and my father (expert marksmen) using my xdm .45 and my xdm 9mm and his 40 beretta PX4 storm and his sig .45, I forget the sig's model. no matter if I am the one doing the shooting or my father, clicking through any of the above at the same distance the spread on the 9mm is far tighter. this is my .02 cents I agree with the many suggestions above. the most important thing to do is hold the weapon and be comfortable not only with how it fits your hand, but how it fires and responds to you. if you are uncomfortable with that firearm without shooting, it's not for you, if it's rough on the shooting part, find another. there are many options out there. I like sigs, SW, and springfield. I'll be honest, I was never happy with a glock. good guns, but I didn't like them. good luck on your decision. [/QUOTE]
