.380 ACP Sig P238. Kimber Solo, Kahr PM9 and Ruger LC9 (compact 9mms) all had too much felt recoil for me to comfortably shoot and practice with. My favorite gun, my XD40subcompact in .40 SW, is just a tad too large to carry, based on dress code requirements.
I know the .380 is not ideal, but it's better than my OC spray if things turn deadly. Loaded with the Buffalo-Barnes 80gr TAC-XP, I feel confident I could stop someone.
