As much as i love guns and support people's 2nd amendment rights and rights to defend themselves, I feel compelled to ask why it wouldn't be a simpler and more prudent choice to simply avoid running in the "shady" parts of town. It's one thing to be prepared if trouble finds you, it's another to court trouble by making dangerous choices.
That being said, the revolver idea isn't a bad one, and those airweights are really nice, and there are also some nice alloy frames (scandium or whatever) out there too. I wouldn't think that a moderately expensive gun like a Springfield XD subcompact 9mm or a Glock should be too prohibitively pricey or heavy (probably both in the $500s). If I was going with a Glock, might as well get the 36, a slimlline subcompact .45, only drawback is the limited number of rounds, but still more than a revolver and with that bullet you should only need one. Couldn't argue with the durability when submerged etc. FWIW I don't think that I'd really recommend a .380 caliber gun even though there are tons of really compact ones out there. I just don't trust the stopping power, but then again it is quite a bit better than nothing.
