I have several .380s and I think they're great but the Colt Mustang Plus is no easier to conceal than my S&W J-frames and the Beretta Cheetah/M84 and even my Star Model S (a deadly accurate .380) are far too big - if I'm going to carry a gun that big I'll just tote my CS-45 and be done with it. I like .380s and if I didn't have J-frame revolvers the Mustang would see a lot of daylight but, since I have J-frames, that's my first choice. .380s, however, are great fun at the range, and excellent to use for practice if you're planning to carry any pistol (okay, the ammo is pricey, I admit that).

Anyone who thinks modern, defensive ammo in .380 is just an annoyance doesn't understand the power in those cartridges. I have no argument with anyone who chooses a .380 and I have looked at the Bodyguard more than a few times. So you never know....
