    Would It Be Wise to WAIT to Buy a Bodyguard 2.0?

    Sorry to pee on the parade of the 2.0 blinder boys. No machine is perfect, and you must accept the limitations. Perhaps they are acceptable to you, and that's perfectly fine. But denying they exist, is a trip to Fantasy Island. Frankly, the only one "making something up" is you. From the...

    Would It Be Wise to WAIT to Buy a Bodyguard 2.0?

    I do prefer my OG Bodyguard 380. But in the interests of research, I took a look through the several specimens of 2.0 that my LGS had in stock. There's not much consistency between them in terms of quality of trigger press and thumb safety operation. On one example, none of the sales staff...

    S&W J frame vs. Glock 42

    Like the OP, I have many J-frame revolvers. Many revolvers in general actually, and use several of them for self-defense purposes. If you subscribe to the theory which I do, in that three handguns of the same "family" can serve all defensive needs, then a sound J-frame would be one of those...

    Would It Be Wise to WAIT to Buy a Bodyguard 2.0?

    I wouldn't pocket carry the 2.0 without the TS version, engaged.

    The people stuck using ancient Windows computers

    I like new tech as much as the next person. But what I don't like is when the new software that is required to run on the new OS, has a vastly different user interface than the previous version. I really don't want to waste time learning new procedures - every 3 years or so - for what are...

    LEOSA

    There were many others right after the law was signed in 2004. They were all dismissed, including cases in New York State (where mere possession of handguns are considered illegal without a license or exemption). One of the cases involved not only possession of a handgun, but also so-called...

    Why We CHANGED the Forum Software

    The old website styling had "character"; it looked different than anything else. The new style is fresher, and working fine for me. Makes the place brighter! 🌞

    43C Chamber Finishing Reaming

    All of that is par for the course these days, sadly. Every "supervisor" you speak with will repeat the same script: "That's not right, send it in and we will fix that". Weeks and months later your revolver returns, with the same defects, or new defects, or both. There's no pride of...

    Bodyguard 2.0 Safety Failure

    You assume they have one now? S&W loves you as a customer! Safety works out of the box, but after a few boxes of ammo it stops working, yet you are hesitant to blame them for a substandard firearm. Can I sell you a car?
