Bersa .380. It is my small CCW, and I carry at the small of my back (no purse either). I am 5’0 and have small hands. It is inexpensive, reliable, good accuracy a great ‘sleeper’ gun.
A few years ago I went out with Freeper Tminusfour (RIP) to test some CC guns with her and we tried out all the usual ones (S&W, Tarus, Glock) and after trying my Bersa, that is the one she chose as a CCW as well.
My wife also chose the Bersa .380 because she could easily rack the slide.
