I have quite a few guns and recently replace my $700 Sig P9389 with a S&W Shield 9mm for about $379. It is a great gun and shoots very well.
If you want to go with a .380 get the S&W Bodyguard. It is smaller and easier to conceal. You just can't go wrong with S&W. Every now and then Rural King will have them on sale but you could go to Apoka or Orlando or Tampa and get a better price. Even purchase online but the local dealer taking delivery will have a fee of $25-$30. I would stay away from the off brands like SCCY etc. If you want a revolver you only get 5 shots. That said if you need to use your gun you will likely be up close and personal with the bad guy.
Join a club like the Village Straight Shooters. Go to the range and practice. Just owning and carrying a gun is not good enough. One other thing go on Amazon and buy the book "Laws of Self Defense" and read it.
