I like that it's sub-$400, uses a common .38 shell, and is not so powerful my wife wouldn't shoot it. I'm going to keep looking, but I've started a list now.
Exactly what I chose when I was looking.

The guy at my local range encouraged me to try it as did my brother who is a Sgt and carries it off duty.

With a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster for summer and Uncle Mike's IWB in the winter, I barely notice it's in my front pocket.



I have since added Crimson trace laser grips and don't even think about a different setup.

A lot of the semi-auto guys like 9 or more shots, but I figure if I need more than 5, I'm in a prolonged gunfight that i should have ran from a long time ago.

I'm a wheelgun guy for life.
