+1 on the Sig P238. I have the HD all stainless steel version with around 1000 flawless rounds down the pipe. Shoots much softer than the blow back .380's and is quite accurate too. I think it has the best sights out of any .380 pocket gun on the market (there night sights!). Again not looking for a caliber war but I in no way feel naked when I only have a 380. As they say; Any gun is better than no gun. That said I agree that a J-frame S&W would be a solid choice as well.
