I wanted something truly compact and light. I looked at the small 9s and they were still too big and heavy for comfortable pocket carry. Wound up with a Taurus TCP. It was a C note cheaper than the nearly-identical Ruger and I like the slide lock feature. Weights like 18 ounces and that's manageable. I know many guys would reject the 380 as too light but better a 380 on me than a 357 Magnum I left in the car because it's just too dang heavy for comfort.
