The BG.380 wasn't designed to be a primary carry .. it is to be a BUG .. a back up gun when your primary can't get the job done.

Comparing the two IMO is apples and oranges. Really guys .. you would stake your life on a small .380 as your sole EDC ??? I am a 5'5" 130 lb lady and I carry a M&P9c (a double stack) IWB. The Shield is great for when I really need a slimmer gun.
For me that's actually what I was sort of looking for. I carry the 40c and I love it but I was in the market for a "mouse-gun" or pocket pistol as back-up or summer/shorts carry and I'm thinking that this is not the purpose of the shield.
