I had a Bersa 380 I absolutely loved. Great trigger, accurate, and super light recoil. I ended up giving it to my Mother-in law as a home defense piece after her husband passes. I'm pretty sure I'll never get it back since she loves it. I have a Bodyguard 380 and I've owned a Ruger LCP. Both are much harder to shoot and have stiffer recoil than the Bersa. I love my BG380 but for your purposes I would pick the Bersa.
