Depending on budget find something that's a double stack in 9mm.
Is it for conceal carry or just home defense?
A Canik TP9SC comes with a 15, and 12 round mag. Excellent trigger, very accurate. Comes with an optic ready slide, phosphorescent front sight picatinny rail for a light/laser. Under $400 shipped. Check out Lock&Loaded . It’s a subcompact.
It will take a factory 20rd mag.

To do what, exactly? Personal protection, plinking, or New Years celebrations?

OP, if you had to sell your CF380 because of a divorce, I'm guessing you have some budgetary issues. The CF380 isn't a small pistol, so something in the realm of a G19 would probably do well, size wise.
The Palmetto State Armory Dagger pistols are G19 clones and run $300, give or take, depending on the specific flavor and timing of the purchase. With that option, you would be able to run 9mm Ammo, which is cheaper than .380, and you would have something within the ballpark of your old CF380's physical dimensions.
The Dagger would work for anything from a simple range gun, home defense pistol, to a concealed carry piece.
If you are dead set on staying with a .380, the G42 is a solid option. It will be a bit pricier than the Dagger can cost, but not excessively so. It is a great shooter and much more pleasant to run than most typical .380s on the market.
If you can stand a little more snap, the Bersa line of .380s would be worthwhile for your consideration if you are set on that caliber.

I would pick a Taurus over a Hi-Point. Lighter, more compact, more capacity.

I've got 2 PT111G2c's. One for sale if anyone is interested. Nice solid little 9mm striker. Not the best but certainly not the worst.
You know I feel the same way.

Define "here". You had a CF380 when you got here. The forum? The country? Are you a long time lurker, first time poster? Did I miss something in your intro thread?
~goes to look~
Ahh, I did... If you remember your previous info @lklawson should be able to recover your old account.
I don't know what your budget is, but if your ex has stolen all the fun money I feel your pain.
Caliber, budget, task, and purpose please. We'll get you sorted with that intel in hand.
I have four (4). 22LR, .40, 10mm, and 45Colt. I know I need at least 4 more in 380acp, 9mm, .38/.357, and a 1911 in .45acp.

Great call, the PSA Dagger is a bargain @ $300 - can even get a blem one with mags etc for that price with optics cut and threaded barrel when they have em, they sell out fast.
just last week I bought a dagger lower and AR lower for $99 shipped.
The 5.7x28, waiting on the optics cut deal to come back... they sold out really fast.

You have to move fast on those cheaper deals. I was worried I'd miss out on on that blem Galil Ace Gen 2, but it amazingly lasted for a few weeks after I got mine.

Yes, I only have 4 and the 422 is non functioning. Needs a slide and a magazine. TNT offered to buy the grips...lol

I still need an FN and an H&K, too. I wouldn't mind throwing a Canik in there as well. I'm kind of in trouble for buying other accessories after I got a new rifle, though, so it's going to be a while before I can get any new toys.
