Looking for a physically smaller handgun to CC in an ankle or calf holster. Must have external safety. Never owned a .380, but I'm not totally averse to the idea. Would prefer a 9 mm, though, with a budget up to $500.00. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

ETA: I will personally look at and "feel" any that the board recommends.

Sig P938. Will be tough to find one for $500, but it can be done.

I am a very big fan of the Ruger LC9s & EC9s


You can get them for ~$250-300



ETA: make sure it's the s version. It's an upgraded striker fired gun with a great trigger.

You'll be hard pressed to find it for 500, but this is my SIG P238 with extended 7RD magazine. It's backup to my 1911UC in .45. You won't regret spending the extra money on SIG, whether you go with the 238 or the 938. The pinnacle of reliability.

I love my Sig P365

I've got a 320 X Carry headed to my FFL. Hopefully it will be in today.

M&P Shield 2.0 9mm is perfect size for carry and it’s in your budget.

P238 for $409

P938 for $469

If you don’t like the grips you can find another set for ~$40

Nobody's mentioned a revolver? S&W 442 or 642.
