I usually carry a Springfield Armory V10 Ultra Compact .45 or a Glock 30 subcompact .45 both with +P Golden Sabre ammo.

Wife carries a Glock 30 .45 as well and a S&W Ultralight .38+P+ ammo when she goes to exercise.

Smith and Wesson Model 60.

It's old school, a five shot stainless steel, .38 spl. I have carried one for decades. As it is stainless steel, no muss, no fuss. It will take a beating and because it's a revolver, not much can go wrong with it.

I installed Pachmayr rubber grips on mine. A holster is much safer, but if you're in a hurry, you can just stick one in your waistband. The grips keep it in place. You'd better be comfortable with the gun, carrying it this way, tho...

I keep an extra one in the glove box, along with a box of +P ammo and a set of handcuffs.

One drawback is sometimes, because the Pachmayr grips are "fat", the grips will interfere with using a speed loader. You have to really get comfortable with loading if you use a speed loader.

And, if you shoot +P ammo on the range in one of these small frame revolvers, be sure and check the screws from time to time. I've never had a problem, but the screws reportedly have been known to loosen up after repeated rounds of the +P.
