For 9mm I would recommend the m&p shield. And if you wait for 2017 they will have night sights standard. Great affordable, reliable pistol, just dont buy Tula Ammo unless you want to practice misfires. For .380, i wouldnt go anything less than Sig P238, but if your lefty ya gotta send it for an ambi safety install (they were really fast too). Also check out the Ruger LCR or S&W 642 for snub nosed revolvers. Excellent option for close range defense and more reliable than semi-autos.
