A SIG-Sauer made pistol with an alloy frame instead of injection molded polymer, that comes from the factory with night sights for $450 is "expensive?" Sure, it's $150 more than a Ruger LCP... but you can spend that much just on the night sights alone that come on most P238s. The better construction, better trigger pull, shorter reset, existence of manageable sights, easier operation, automatic lock back, and better resale value... It's leaps and bounds better, and a better value, than the Ruger LCP. (I compare it to the LCP, being that it is the only noteworthy competition.)

If you really think that .380ACP is a "useless caliber" then... I don't even know what to say to that. I don't own a .380ACP, but to describe it as useless is just ignorant. You're referring to a cartridge which armed a number of prominent European militaries for some time. While I certainly agree that was a mistake in terms of being a service pistol (ie, Beretta M1934) to say that a Walther PPK is "useless" is so laughable that I am really not even sure why I am acknowledging it.

It's a back up gun cartridge. It is ideal for pocket pistols, and is more than adequate for personal protection at common distances.
