My wife is the same, insisted on a .380. So I insisted she carry Buffalo Bore lead flat nose +P ammo. With a .380 I'm more concerned about adequate penetration vs expansion.
Also, for home defense think about a 20 gauge shotgun. My wife loves her cheapo 20 gauge coach gun, can handle it easily, and 20 gauge buck is still damned effective at in-house ranges.

All the newer .380s modeled after the Ruger have very thin walls in the chamber and barrel. I was wondering if you have used any of the +p ammo and know how well these guns hold up to the extra pressure. As far as I know, they're not rated for it are they? My wife has the Taurus .380
