WVA, my son carries one of those little Ruger 380's with a laser on it and likes it because it does not weigh much. I do not CC much, I usually have a S&W 5906 and three 17 round mags in a case in the vehicle. Obviously I like some weight in a firearm. For CC I have a Polish surplus P-64 in 9X18 Makarov, it is in the "pocket pistol" category being about the size of a PPK. It is all steel, accurate, reliable and inexpensive. If you get one you should do a recoil and hammer spring replacement from Wolf, the former is a little weak and the latter is way too heavy. The gun costs appx. $250, the springs cost appx. $16. You can put them in yourself if you are careful. These are great little guns.
