Default New BG 380 owner...holster??

Just picked up a BG 380 and am looking for holster suggestions (probably an old topic I am sure).

I prefer IWB, and tuckable if available, but would consider pocket also, though I am small and thus...small pockets. I have concerns that certain holsters might be more apt to trigger the laser so I'm not sure what direction to go.

Actually, any and all suggestions (IWB, OWB, Pocket, etc) are up for consideration so...all help is appreciated.

I currently carry a 9mm SCCY, which is a small gun but it's a double stack and obviously bigger than the BG 380.

Looking forward to carrying the BG on a daily basis so, again, all help appreciated.

Thanks.

This is the one my wife uses great fit & comfort:

IWB Tuckable - aholster

You did not state if it was a semi auto or revolver this one fits the semi auto.
I also have one of his holsters for my Ruger 380 which again is very nice.
My recommendation

Mike

Well I'm guessing that since it is a .380 caliber that it most likely is a semi-auto!!

This is the holster I carry with, and I really like it. Cost less than I expected it would. The company that made it is owned by an ex-cop in Ohio. If you like it I will see if I can locate the business card he sent whith it. Two weeks from time of order...it was in my hands.

I front pocket carry in a De Santis Nemesis, about $20 at Cabela's. You do kinda have to wear pants/shorts with wide pocket openings for front pocket carry to be effective.

I have a few for this little beauty.... My most common is the IWB "micro clip" from Crossbreed... Awesome fit right out of the box!

I use the Desantis for pocket carry and the Crossbreed Mirco clip for IWB. Both awesome carry options.

Thanks everyone, for the welcome and the suggestions - makes one feel good.

I ended up getting a DeSantis Pocket-Tuk which I got for very little outlay. It came today and I've been wearing it, since. Feels nice and comfortable and seems to hold the Bodyguard real well.

Shot a few mags of WWB and one mag of Hornady Critical Defense. I really like shooting this gun, even with the long, stiff trigger pull. My other gun is a 9MM sub-compact (SCCY) and it too has a long and heavy trigger. I shot my neighbor's S&W MP40 - beautiful gun by the way - and what a huge difference. I'd not shot a single action before and the light trigger was so different but man could I get some tight groups.

I'll keep everyone posted as I get more rounds through the Bodyguard but, so far, so good.
