“The 9 mm

Lol, I wish!

Glock 42 for the win! For the size, weight, and ergonomics, my favorite affordable .380 so far. There are many that are, heavier, smaller, cheaper, Prettier, but I love the G42. Still works for pocket carry, but I like it in the little Fobus paddle holster best for fast presentation.

M&P shield in 9mm
85 Cheetah in .380 - bit bulky though
Glock 19. Answer for anything.
Ruger LCP very easy to carry, just not pleasant to shoot, but so what.

As for .380 for self defense, I like to load my own cast for heavier, hotter and deeper penetration. 105 swc at 800+ fps. Most .380 comes at 95 grain or less at about the same fps.
