went ot the range today to look at differant pocket guns. really liked smith and wesson body guard 380. any on here have chance to shoot one? i have looked on the net and found alot of good and some bad reviews

 

I bought one just to have, got rid of it fairly quick. Mine had like a 100# trigger pull, instead of doing a trigger job I traded it for a Taurus Slim 9.

 

i am used to barrette trigger pull. which is more than the body guard per reviews

 

I wouldn't carry an auto in my pocket. Lots of places for lint and dust to get. I'd go with a .38. Just my .02

 

My wife and I went with the Walther P380 and we are very happy with it.

 

If you are wanting a pocket .380 I would highly suggest either the colt mustang or the sig p238. These two are by far the best ones made, with the older walthers coming in as a close second. Lightish trigger pulls, a very proven design (1911), amazing muzzle control, and great pointability make these pistols a good pocket pistol. I prefer my sig over the colt, but only because I can replace it much easier and it comes with trijicon night sights.

 

i love my ruger lcp .380. a louisiana state trooper was in the gun shop when i was buying mine and he was raving about them. he said that he and some of his fellow troopers use them for back up weapons.....that said a lot!!

 

the glock 27 is a nice gun! but i need a smaller gun. something to put in my pocket. i like how the body gaurd locks back when it is empty and has a safety. but the ruger has been out longer and they have already worked out the bugs. hmmm

 

I raved about .380s ....until the ammo dried up or was rediculously expensive. If this has changed, great. If not, no way I would get a third...

I'd go wheely 38+P all day long I think someone already said about the pocket crap jam potential. But wheelies also rull out duds and the ammo is soooo much cheaper.

Add a laser, and no external hammer=winner !
