Problem is, if you want something small and in the power range as the BG380, they all seem to be lacking something. While the BG380 trigger is not liked, it is still better than most triggers in the small and light pistol group. I went with a Shield 40 for excellent trigger in a pocket carry package, but still a huge gun in comparison to the BG380. Unfortunately, it's all about compromise, and the Shield wins this one hands down.

My finger and hand is sore after 2 magazines in the BG380, just doesn't fit right, yet the wife can shoot 50 rounds without problem. It's her gun now. No problems with the Shield shooting all day long. Even shooting 40 rounds through my S&W 500 is more enjoyable to me than using the BG380.
