Another vote for Remington RM380. Try one!
You are absolutely right! That is why it is important to not just recommend a particular pistol, but to explain why you recommend it. What are the attractive features, benefits, your experience with the gun, etc. A recommendation without a detailed explanation is not very helpful.You will find that most people recommend whatever gun they chose for themselves. We want to think we chose the best one and also, we don't really know about most of the other ones available. The recommendations are mostly a popularity contest.
Friday I ordered an RM380 from Bud's - $218 plus $3 insurance delivered before the $50 rebate. $25 FFL transfer. $171 after $50 rebate.Please look at the Remington RM380. I've had one for several months. About 300 rounds through it. All metal. Stainless slide and barrel, alloy frame.
I have a lot of .380's. This is one of the best I've ever owned. I paid $299 at a gun show and now, I think Remington is offering a rebate.
$171 after $50 rebate
The Kel-Tec P3AT is a light tiny pocket pistol with a polymer frame. The Ruger LCP is a copy of it. They are not fun to shoot (for me, anyway), but are very easy to carry. They are also inexpensive. I have had a P3AT for about five years now and have had zero problems with it.
