Although, the BG380 is quite popular now and seems to be up to par to the LCP. I'll get the BG380, but still unsure. I doubt i'll ever have to use but worried about when I really do have to use it, if it is able to handle the situation.
.380s are a little pricey. 9mm is definitely the cheapest. And a high quality 9mm round will do a good job at stopping a target. Ultimately you just want to get the biggest round you can shoot reliably, so YMMV.

I like 9mm, not sure if I'd really be comfortable carrying a .380 or not. So that's where something like the CM9 from Kahr comes in if I want a pocketable pistol.

not bad. I will definitely look into the CM9. I briefly saw a review of the CM9. They did a side to side comparison with the LCP and the sizes are quite similar! awesome.

Where did you get yours and how much? Would consider it since it is the same ammo capacity to the BG380.
