Trade in the LCP for the .357 LCR.(same size) You can use personal defense .38 Special +P without killing your wrist and get twice the knockdown power than the .380 Odds of a malfunction with a wheel gun are much lower than a semi-auto.
My main CCW pistol is a Glock 26. It carries 11 rounds of 9mm is a very compact package with a trigger that helps you get accurate, consistent hits.
Mine is in an inside the waistband holster as we speak.
