Shot the .380 S&W Bodyguard today

Post by Sidro »

Friend bought one last weekend while we were at Rustic Range close to Lubbock. Was pleasently surprised with this little pistol. Cycled through about 125 rounds of fmj and hp with absolutely no problems. Trigger takes a little getting used to but is no big problem. Sights are really tough but will fix that tomorrow with a little paint job.

While not near as accurate as our P238s due to dao trigger, I was still able to put all six rounds into a gallon paint can at 15 yards. No biting the web of the hand due to the small grip, so that was a plus. For a bug or carry gun when you can't carry something bigger this thing will fit the bill. Fits in the front pocket really well. All in all a great little shooter.

If I did not have a P238 I would buy one these little pistols.

Looks nice...I held one of these at the store. My impression was...nice grip, nice that a laser is built in, not a great trigger (but what mousegun besides Kahr has anything decent?).

As long as it was reliable it would be a good gun to me...maybe with some trigger work. Unfortunately I think it looks kind of weird.

Also, I don't see why lasers seem to add so much cost...$575 total here for the gun, and $190 for the LCP's crimson trace...I understand higher than the $12 it costs for extra engineering, but it feels weird. Anyway, at this price I'd probably rather have a Kahr personally.
