Why are people more cautious carrying a chambered bodyguard 2.0?

[EL_GATO]

I see a lot of people recommend getting the bodyguard 2.0 ts over the nts. Some say the trigger is too light for comfort to carry a round in the chamber with a nts. Or that a ts is safer for pocket carry. I feel like the trigger on my bodyguard 2.0 nts is similar to other strikers, but I don't know about the pocket carry caution.

I'm planning to pocket carry for the first time using a Alabama kydex pocket holster and a Talon leather wallet holster. Can I trust my bodyguard 2.0 to be just as safe as my Glock 19 when it is properly holstered? Or am I missing something? Thank you.

I got mine with the safety. It was a little stiff to operate at first but it's fine now after a little use.

In my view if you are carrying for defense, you need to have one in the chamber. A lot of others will tell you the same. Things can happen very fast and you may not have time (or be in a position to) rack the slide. So me, I would not carry a semi-auto pistol that I don't feel safe carrying with one in the pipe.

I don't think the trigger is too light for that purpose, but for any gun carried in the pocket you need some kind of case that covers the trigger (in my opinion). Which if you did that, you need not worry about accidentally pulling the trigger. Get one with the safety if you want, keep one in the chamber - its good compromise that means you only have to flip the safety off and you are ready to go.
