I love my Colt 1903 in .380 ACP. It has basically a 4" barrel, is thin, has some weigh to it. With the weight, .380ACP has almost no recoil. This was the "Gangster Gun" in the 1920s and 1930s. It easily fits in a pocket. The only downside is switching magazines quickly would be awkward.

I had it gone through by a gun smith and then it was done in Robar to protect it from the Houston humidity.

The biggest downside to .380 is the price/availability of ammo.
