M&P Bodyguard 380

[Old cop]

I'm following this w/interest b/c I swore off these little plastic guns. My "luck" w/new models is abominable to say the least and I've learned, after my last experience w/the Glock 42, to shy away from new models for a good year.

Today I attended a valor award luncheon from my old agency and managed to carry my 442 in a front pocket of my suit trousers. This, to my way of thinking, is the kind of thing the new .380 pistols were designed for (besides summer carry). The 442 made the trousers sag a bit but cinching up my belt took care of that.

I'd really like it if I could find a comfort level w/these little guns but truly believe there is a diminished return in something this small and light. I'll somehow find a way to conceal my J frame.

I bought one a couple weeks ago, they're ok but smith missed the boat by not making it a striker fire. Still the same long drawn out double action the body guard has.

And I feel just the opposite-I use it as a pocket gun and I feel better WITHOUT the striker fire in pocket carry.
As Grampa used to say-"Thank God everyone likes different things otherwise they'd all be jumping on grandma."

Yes they're out there. My lgs got one in last week and had already sold it by the time I got to see it. The owner was nice enough to let me take a look before he left with it.

That's my only problem with all the BG380's. Their trigger pull is so heavy it makes shooting accurately very hard. The new one has the same trigger as the older one with the laser.

I just picked one up at a gun show in Bartow Florida yesterday and haven't shot it yet but, trigger pull is a very tolerable 8-9 lbs. (measured) It's very long but smooth and should improve even more with use. I'm impressed with the fit and finish of this new Bodyguard.
