I whould have to go with the .40cal over the .38,and I'll tell ya why. My wife is 5'2" and about 105lbs and although she does carry a .38 as a back-up gun she favors her Kahr CW40.(I'm sure some body will dispute this but .40 caliber ammo can be as much as 20-30% more powerful then even the best .38+p) .40 cal is a great round, but it don't matter what you'er shootin' if yer not prepared to defend yourself. Take classes, go to the range often and drill on a regular basis.You'll be glad you did if the worst happens.
