Cabelas lists new .380 bodyguard $349

[JcMack]

According to sale paper, it starts today. $349 is the price point I figure S&W was targeting. Run out and buy 3 or 4 so I can buy them from you in 6 mos. for $275. Does this gun have a hammer?

Yes and a very heavy one at that. A true DA only. They wanted to copy Taurus and have a a "second strike" capability.

I got that same paper and had to laugh. I was at Cabele's in Hamburg, Pa on Monday and they put me on a waiting list. Now that they dropped the price I guess I'll get to wait even longer.

I know most will disagree with my opinion. I like DAO in an auto. The traditional DA auto is too easy for me to send the second shot off who knows where. At 64 I'm a little shaky under stress. Butt, if "necessary" I will pull that 12 lb. trigger until the gun is empty as fast as my fat fingers will allow.

I agree with you. For a pocket gun especially. Just letting ya know.

As much as I like Sigs and have several I think the P238 is a dumb design. No way I am putting a cocked and locked with no grip safety in my pocket.
I prefer the Colt Pony Pocketlite over the Mustang

I bought a stainless (steel) Pony when they hit the mkt. I believe it was Scott Mcdougal? that did upgrades on them. I was going to do a deal with him, but I traded the gun. Do the P238's have the same goofy ejector as the Mustangs?

I too saw the ad and wrote Cabella's on Monday to check on the BG 380's availability as I was going to drive the 100 miles to the store to pick one up. They responded yesterday that it was not in stock. Last night I was able to purchase the gun for $349 at my local sporting goods store in Wilkes-Barre.

I honestly do not know. It and the Mosquito are the only 2 Sigs I don't own (or the Plastic ones but I do not consider them Sigs)

Although a little bigger, I'll take this one over the 238.

Two questions: 1) Where do I get .380 moonclips, and 2) does it have the IL?
