While I agree that everyone’s needs are different, AND, any gun is better than no gun.......
With modern, relatively micro 9mm choices that are out today, there’s little need for a .22LR, 25ACP, 32ACP or 380ACP defense handgun. A Glock 43, a Sig P365, or a Springfield Armory Hellcat will get the jo done betterer :-)
For about 20years, I always wanted a Seecamp .380ACP in the worst way. Then I shot one, snappy little bastarrrrd.
