I replaced my .380 with a .40, the .380 Walther PPK/S I had was junk, and during target practice I figured my life was worth much more than an unreliable .380. I wasn't happy with the lack of .380 ammo in stores either. The Springfield EMP .40 seems to be a better choice for self defense in every way except size (for me); I'll have to find a different holster for summer.

I chose Springfield's EMP because of the warranty they provide, and because they took the 1911 style and machined it the same only smaller, they didn't just cut down the 1911 frame.
