A S&W 380 semi-automatic is good. It is small, light weight but it will stop someone.

Oh, boy. You've stirred the caliber war hornets nest up now. I do carry a .380 regularly (.45 ACP occasionally), but expect the 9mm and .45 ACP contingents to soon show up here to deride the .380 as a mousegun.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ the hornets are flying.

What about the S&W angle? Last I knew, no self respecting conservative would buy an S&W.

Gee, I don't know about that. The neatest murder I ever saw was done with a .25 auto with one shot, 15 foot range by a very angry wife. Husband was reported to have said, "I'm hurt real bad", then sat down on couch and died.

I wanted to hire her to teach marksmanship but we had to charge her with murder.

A 9mm is a .45 set to stun.
A .380 is a .45 set to annoying!

You don't want the caliber war to occur when you find out you emptied your 380 and the big fat caliber robber comes lunging at you with a knife and kills you.
