Anyone have any idea what brand gun in .380 can be bought new, very cheaply?

I am working with a young couple that is just now into shooting and self defense. The husband sort of turned his wife against shooting by giving her large calibers to fire. She is very dainty and has fired three guns, a .44 mag, a .38 spl with +P ammo (snubnose) and a .357 mag. One shot each and she had enough.

He came to me for advice. I began working with both of them and they now have their concealed weapons permits. Both are professional people but money is tight. She feels comfortable carrying and shooting a .380 now to the point of being proficient.

I am wanting to locate a dependable brand that will not bankrupt them. Since I am not a .380 person, I have not had the exposure to them that would allow me to know the brands to suggest.
