I would think that convenience trumps anything regardless. The odds of encountering an armored enemy are extremely low, unless you intend on picking fights with the police.
The risk profile says .380 concealable auto or .38 revolver.

I would have preferred the slightly larger (and cheaper) .380 Walther PPK/S because it is double/single action. The Sig feels like it’s 3/4 the size of the PPK, lighter weight with better sights. These are useful traits.

“The risk profile says .380 concealable auto or .38 revolver.”

Ruger 38 special with red laser and hollow points.

I used to say exact same thing that a decade ago. Even two years ago.

But, in this present day the odds are still very low, but the consequences of the odds going against you are catastrophic. You don’t carry to fend off a mugger anymore. You carry to stop a person (or persons) from herding you into line and executing you. That requires magazine capacity and reloads.
