Whenever Minnesota’s weather straightens out, going to make it to my preferred gun store. Kind of made my mind up to purchase one barring any real problems with my large hand size, might even pick up two, one for the wife if I can strike a better deal. Going to look at the new EZ 9mm as well. I already have a EZ 380 which I really like.

Ive watched every video on the BG 380 it seems, with a grain of salt. A lot of the negative reviews were very inexperienced shooters or a biased experienced shooter spinning their yarn. I have 642 and 442 revolvers, so DAO is not something new to me.

Positives on the BG. Smiths reputation and life time warranty.
Double strike capabilities
Factory metal sights, with after markets avail.
Thumb safety. IMO deep pocket must have
Empty mag slide hold open
PRICE.

I will be loading it with Underwoods Lehigh extreme defense 65 grain ammo, Devastating round, and I will not feel underpowered.
