>>64086419 (OP)
Yeah
>verof

Fuck and No.
If you need a pocket piece get a LCP II or a MAX they're smaller and not fully cocked strikers.
If you need a IWB get any of the compact 9's and never look back.

>I just wanna shoot .380 and have capacity.
Get a Beretta

>>64086419 (OP)
No, it looks like a mess, and normal people will think you're autistic freak if you ever show them that.

>>64086419 (OP)
Just got one myself and I like it. Better ergos than an LCP.

Love mine, feels great in the hand, easy to shoot

>>64086447
>If you need a pocket piece get a LCP II or a MAX they're smaller and not fully cocked strikers.
Those have worse ergonomics and lots of guns have fully cocked strikers without it being a problem, P320 notwithstanding>>64086447
>If you need a IWB get any of the compact 9's and never look back.
This is much more concealable
>>64086457
Why would you be showing normal people your gun unless you're shooting them with it?

>>64086419 (OP)
It's a chick gun desu

I'm not even a big dude (5'10" if i fix my posture) and I can conceal a G26 effortlessly. a G19 taps my nuts which I don't like. A G26 with a G19 grip would be the tits. Smaller guns are worse to shoot and harder to draw.

Love mine. Got it as a pocket pistol for checking the mail and stuff but like it so much it's replaced my 9 as my daily iwb carry.

>>64086419 (OP)
probably gonna get one sometime soon

>>64086521
Not everyone is in the same situation mister myopia. Like for example, I have an LCP2 because pocket carry is the only way that I'm going to actually carry, and I'm not going to put that chunky boy in my back pocket where I have to sit on it. But I also keep my wallet and phone in opposing front pockets so I wanted something thin that could go behind my wallet. And pretty much everybody else has a different situation, a different hand, a different idea about how important this is to them, which is why pistols are personal preference more so than any other type of gun.

Op you're going to just have to get something and then see if it works for you. I cycled through a few different pistols before landing on what I have and pretty much everybody has the same story. The Bodyguard 2.0 is a great place to start though.

>>64086447
>and not fully cocked strikers.
If you're that paranoid about the striker, then get the model with an external safety.

t. lcp max owner.

glock

>>64086419 (OP)
yeah. I love mine. You forget how tiny it is until you set it next to a Glock 19 or something. It really feels like S&W nailed it and created a perfectly ergo pocket pistol. I got the safety version because why not and it's super easy to drop the safety lever rapidly. When people who have held hundreds of different guns and people who have barely held any guns all say it feels great to hold and shoot, that means there's something to it. The LCP Max is a good gun however the BG 2.0 simply blows it out of the water.

>>64087459
They make a lot of really cheap guns and some pretty decent ones.

Of course the overlap between the two categories can be a bit slim, unless you have a particularly generous definition of "good".

>>64087429
Is there any reason to get the 2.0 and not the 2.0 Carry Comp? Carry Comp is just 0.3" longer, i doubt that makes it much harder to conceal

You've taken the least important lesson from the P320 fiasco.

>>64087620
Even if manufacturing fucks up, hammer guns aren't firing in their holsters desu

>>64087463
A cocked and locked 1911 (with the firing pin safety update) is safer than any striker gun. Facts.

>>64086447
The anons are all sperging at you about the striker thing, meanwhile I won't even carry a pocket gun unless it's genuinely double action.

TRVTH NVKE

>>64087573
yeah that extra length wont mean hardly anything. Having a ported barrel is cool though, i bet it feels even nicer to shoot. I like how many different options S&W have been pushing out the past few years. Get whatever you want lol.

>>64086419 (OP)
Honestly, I am not sold on these small 380 pistols.

- They feel like shit when shooting them
- the 380 ammo are 2x a 9mm
- low capacity
- some are very unreliable (like the bersas)

I would get a micro 9 if you can. Even a compact. It is not like you are dropping it in your jean pocket, you still need a holster.

Something like the shield plus or a ccw glock seems better.

Someone correct me if I am retarded, I think a micro 380 is just overkill.

>>64089672
.380 is cheap and a lot of .380 pocket pistols are nice to shoot. Dunno what you've shot

>>64089685
380 is around 2x the cost of a 9mm though and triggers for alot of 380 pistols feel awful

>>64089672
>They feel like shit when shooting them
Oh so you haven't touched a bg 2.0 at all. Opinion discarded

>>64089710
BG 2.0 feels alright at best, but doesn't compare to bigger pistol triggers at all

>>64089712
Have you shot it? I agree thay i dislike the long reset but otherwise I have no complaints with the trigger itself. The low bore axis and beavertail make it a pleasure to shoot regardless in my experience

>>64089713
I guess to each their own. That long reset and it felt mushy to me after the trigger action. Compare that to a shield plus that feels much better from the same company.

>>64089720
Yeah I think they probably had to make sacrifices to shrink everything down into such a small package, but i haven't shot a shield or had them both apart side by side. I just knew after putting rounds through it that it felt "special" if that makes sense. It really doesn't translate well to dry firing, the recoil impulse, how it snaps back on target, being able to get both of my hands on it similarly to how I grip larger framed pistols, I absolutely love mine, but you're right its not going to be perfect for everyone

>>64089672
Yeah, you're missing the point. The size and caliber are compromises so they can easily fit and conceal in your pocket in a pocket holster. Micro 9s can have trouble doing that.

>>64089672
>low capacity
the bodyguard 2 holds 10+1 with the flush fit magazine.

>>64089672
Despite being overall smaller it has a larger grip area, seems nice

>>64089696
it's still cheap compared to other stuff. Worth the price if you want a micro pistol. Also the trigger on the Bodyguard feels great. Insane improvement over the first Bodyguard.

>>64089672
>some are very unreliable (like the bersas)

why are you even uttering the name bersa in serious conversation about CC pistols?

>>64086521
Not everything needs to be high stress appendix carry 17 rounds ready to go. I like to toss a small pistol into my shorts when I go outside and play with my son. Don’t want to need a belt etc

>>64087038
yea, let's pocket carry and rely on an external safety. surely the safety won't actuate inside le pocket

>>64090758
Which holster is that?

>>64087454
>>64086486
The point is striker fired shouldn't be in your fucking pocket. Esp. Fully cocked strikers.
Go cargo pocket carry a P365 without the trigger dingus or external safety and enjoy pocket lint resulting in a discharge you striker loving faggots.

The LCP series have an internal hammer - the Bodyguard 2.0 is a full retard choice getting pumped by S&Wshills now that SIG's market share is imploding.

This is a basic safety feature on every striker fired pistol EXCEPT Sig, because they're retarded.

I decided to get it, but should I get the regular 2.0 or the carry comp version?
Carry comp sights look better, and would have a little less recoil. But it would be louder (by how much though?), and a little longer

>>64090806
M&Ps are some of the best striker fired guns around

You're just mad S&W are bow the kings if pocket carry

The cope is real with this one. Just cause Sig can't engineer a safe handgun doesn't mean they're all garbage. Just carry it in a holster. Desantis has a pocket holster for it. It works well.

Hey retard, people use pocket holsters, your fear is a fantasy save for a very select few morons.

You're making assumptions based on your own ignorance and lack of experience. People arent throwing loose change and shit into the same pocket as their gun. Its okay to be wrong, it's not okay to be stupid, anon.

You know the difference between Siggers and S&W shills?

I love mine, I actually have two. I will say both came with the sights WAY off and I had to get them fixed. Love the gun itself though and it shoots like a dream for the size it is. Easily can hit body shot mag dumps at 25 yards or head shots aimed at 25 yards.

>>64091661

>>64091615

>>64091661
>Easily can hit body shot mag dumps at 25 yards or head shots aimed at 25 yards.
This why its so obvious to pick out who has actually shot one and who has maybe, at most, held one in store. They don't shoot like any of its .380/pocket carry predecessors. They're consistently accurate and EASY to shoot. Good luck shooting a fist sized group at 25yd with a LCP.
>>64091546
Sure thing

>>64086521
>a G19 taps my nuts
what? how? how low riding is your holster? I appendix carry a G19 from time and it doesn't touch my nuts. Maybe pull your pants up or something.

>>64090924
>>64090937
NTA and I'm not going to go so far as to say you should never carry a striker gun in a pocket, but I don't. No, the gun will not go off in the holster if it's in a proper kydex holster in your pocket, but remember that your draw is basically always more impeded with pocket carry than with IWB carry. Your fingers are jammed into a pocket with a loaded gun in it, and the mouth of your pocket is narrower than the pocket itself. Tight quarters for both your hand and the gun. This increases the risk of a finger finding its way into the trigger guard especially at speed and under pressure. I think with training and practice you can safely pocket carry a Bodyguard 2.0 and take advantage of its shootability, but it's just outside of my personal comfort level for a pocket gun. Yes you can get the manual safety model but S&W insists on using the absolute shittiest little manual safeties for the Shield and B2.0. LCRs and J-Frames are still the safest pocket guns in my mind.

>>64091258
I like my shield plus a lot

>>64091047
S&W shills have taken over a lot of gun boards since the Bodyguard 2.0 came out. The capacity doesn't matter because the 6+1 of the first gen was never insufficient, the 2.0 is larger, and it has a glock-style striker fired trigger instead of the DAO trigger. It is arguably a worse pocket pistol than the first gen and no amount of meaningless extra rounds will change that.

>>64092550
>and it has a glock-style striker fired trigger instead of the DAO trigger
you say that as if it's a bad thing...

>>64092550
People shill the 2.0 because it's great, in fact its one of those rare examples of somebody releasing a new firearm that ACTUALLY completely mogs the competition. Based on what you've said I am forced to conclude that you're both retarded for thinking it's unreasonable for people to desire a greater than 6 round capacity from a .380 and have most likely never shot the bodyguard 2.0.
>I shoot and carry LCPs for the record

>>64092577
That style of trigger belongs on pistols that ride in a belt holster, not pocket pistols. I think that's too light and short of a trigger for pocket carry, even with a holster.

>>64092550
>I haven't shot it
Yeah we can tell. The og bodyguard was a steaming pile of shit that everyone hated.

>>64092594
>completely mogs the competition
It was pretty telling how many sales popped up for lcp/ii/max as soon as smith dropped it. the endless grasping at straws and kvetching has been icing on the cake. i never thought i would see so many "people" upset about a .380 that doesn't suck.

>>64092645
Why would I go out of my way to rent or buy a worse version of a gun that I already own? Being pleb filtered by the DAO trigger pull is not a valid reason for disliking a gun.

>>64092665
im glad you like your garbage anon but cope doesn't change reality. the 2.0 is the way it is because of the feedback s&w recieved about the original. if you need to borrow 10 bucks for a range rental, don't be too embarrassed to ask.

>>64092665
Cool story azpoolguy

>>64086521
>>64086549
I want a G19 slide on a G26 frame

>>64092550
it's double the capacity with a better trigger while also being almost the exact same size and half an ounce lighter

>>64092631
just get the one with a safety lever and i promise you will be ok

>>64092679
And the feedback was and continues to be fundamentally wrong. A pocket rocket shouldn't have a nice crisp clean trigger but one that is deliberate and much more likely to be used in extreme stress. DAO on the OG bodyguard was g2g.
They turned it into a M&P mini .380 and now it's nearly 40% larger - begging the question what exactly is the point? It's a better shooter now sure but it's bigger than the LCP MAX, is in the same size category as the P365, CC9 and hellcat, and as another poster said earlier If you just wanted a high cap .380 a Cheetah or 80x would be a very enjoyable alternative

>>64092550
The Bodyguard 1.0 was easily made 7+1 or 8+1 with either a extension or mag guts

>>64092577
I mean no, but now it's basically a IWB gun and competing with micro 9's.
I mean you can cargo pocket carry it - but you can cargo pocket carry a micro 9 too.
LCP MAX may be a worse shooter with lower capacity but you can still slide it in a front pocket

>Last I checked Hillary Holes are still a thing

>>64092338

>>64093829
LCP Max has the same capacity. You may be thinking of the normal LCP. All 3 are good guns but i just love the fit and feel of the Bodyguard. The finish and cuts on the slide are top tier.

>>64092338
I prefer IWB but sometimes pocket carry is necessary. Not all pants are compatible with IWB. I carry a VP9 IWB and a bodyguard 2.0 for pocket. I use the desantis pocket holster for the bodyguard and its been great and made for the purpose. Before that I've pocket carried a P365 and Walther PPS. I don't understand the hesitation unless you're just ignorant of the current state of striker guns and holsters. The bodyguard is a very safe gun to carry and good holsters dont allow for the trigger to get caught. That's the whole point of the dingus anyways, it requires a proper trigger pull, getting caught wont engage it properly.

>>64087573
>Is there any reason to get the 2.0 and not the 2.0 Carry Comp?
>>64090899
>should I get the regular 2.0 or the carry comp version?
380 doesn't have much recoil, so there's no reason to make a pocket gun larger and louder with a comp.

>>64094171
ight. I looked into it more. Will probably get the original 2.0 in the black/silver color

>>64092645
It really wasn't that bad. Early ones snapped firing pins but twas an easy fix for S&W. The integral laser early model was a gimmick too
An $80 kit from Galloway made the DAO trigger much smoother and crisp without taking away too much weight.

>>64094038
I carry a VP9 IWB too but sometimes it’s just much easier grabbing my wife’s beretta jet fire and tossing it into my pocket. It’s such a small gun it’s hard to beat but I’ve been thinking about getting a body guard myself for when i plan on riding dirty when we visit Death Valley

>>64095122
Dimensionally, how would you quantify what is a pocket gun and what isn't? For example, the LCP II is 5.17" long, 4.05" high, and .91" wide. Would you consider that a pocket gun?

Even this gun is too much recoil for me...

I've had 2 85s and loved both of them, current one is my carry gun. Much more pleasant to shoot than polymer garbage

>>64086419 (OP)
I'd make sure it has a manufactur's warranty. The shills on here won't tell you is that the sights might be misaligned from the factory. Even then the rear sights are slightly elevated a little too high for my liking. I tried renting one from the range but was hitting way left low (but that's probably on me) from where I was aiming. I gave it to a buddy of mine who was shooting since he was 15 and even he had the same problems. He did have a better group.
>Tl;Dr
Get your sights zeroed even if you bought it brand new

>>64096138
people who actually pocket carry use soft holsters 99% of the time, fuck off zoomer

Just bought the black/silver one. Should get it in about 2 weeks.

the only people running nylon holsters are AARP members. nice self report though, this thread has been incredibly entertaining because of it

>>64096985
It is an odd thing to be so consistently upset over. It doesn't feel organic in the least.

>>64089672
>micro 9
the Shield is a micro 9

BG 2.0 is the smallest-while-still-handleable .380 yet constructed

>>64097004
You seem like the type to say snubbies will get you killed in da streetz, ok zoomer whatever you say.

>>64097075
I learned to shoot on my dad's snubby .38 when I was 6 (that was in 95) and j frames in particular are peak revolver aesthetic. You're just inexperienced, ignorant, and out of touch, and I too would be just as upset as you are if I were in your shoes. Again, let me know if you need to borrow that $10 for a range rental, friend.

>surely the safety won't actuate inside le pocket
yes, there are exactly zero cases of this ever happening in the entire universe. might as well complain about Santa Claus stealing your gun and shooting you with it.

What I learned from this thread is that the Bodyguard 2.0 is only popular because it's the first tiny .380 to lower the bar to meet the beginner skill level of the post-2019 gun owner.

>>64097221
>it's a skill issue
the BG 1.0 sucks. And so do all of the 2-finger tiny handguns no matter the chambering.
the 2.0 is actually wieldable as (and has the magazine capacity for) a gunfight pistol, unlike the 1970s-90s gimped 2-finger micropistols

>reach into work pants pocket

kydex is for faggots, go on etsy and buy some crazy Million dollar idea bullshit some leatherworking boomer came up with but cant mass market because of the kydex meme

>>64097180
Sort of (conceptually) but it's far smaller, higher capacity and more advanced

>>64097221
>an unpleasant to shoot inaccurate gun is better because... it just is okay!!!

>>64097267
Yes.

>>64097221
>Bodyguard 2.0 bad because previously pocket pistols required skill

It's more or less my EDC now. It's definitely a compromise, I'd carry my P365 or Shield Plus over it if either was an option, but if you need to carry in a cargo pocket instead of IWB it's about the best you're going to get. Traded my LCP Max for it because it was too small and felt like shit to shoot, Bodyguard has neither problem. But I did get the external safety model out of an abundance of caution, because Sig.

>>64096237
Somd of the magazind followers are also defective from the factory. I had to file the corner off of one of mine because it kept getting caught. No malfunctions yet, but something to be aware of.

>>64086419 (OP)
Shrek says you should buy a small gun if you have small hands

>>64098856
Not op but damn really? At that point I'd just send it back to the store I got it from and ask for another magazine. Thanks for the heads up

>>64087631
>A cocked and locked 1911 (with the firing pin safety update) is safer than any striker gun
Saint Browning knew best

>>64089672
I like my M&P 9 Shield.
I tried both the Shield and Bodyguard. My hands are big and I could grip and fire the Shield more comfortably than the Bodyguard.

>>64090196
>do you think people just rawdog guns in their pockets
I'll take "What is a J frame" for $500 Alex
Best rawdog pistol around

>>64091615
you sound like you suck cock for a living

>>64097108
it's more or less a fact that most pocket holsters don't cover safeties, same with the soft holsters being dominant, don't try and spin this

>>64099750
its not a fact
only retards rock universal holsters, and you are assuming everyone else is as retarded as you
custom fit kydex and leather pocket holsters have been available for ages

>>64100507
>leather
That's considered 'soft', sorry to be the one to tell ya. Oh no he's more retarded than I thought

>>64089672
youre right except in real life you might be in a situation where wearing shorts and a tshirt is what you have to do in order to be comfortable and these pocket rockets are excellent choices so youre able to be conceal carry. look at the difference between the bodyguard 2.0 and my compact 9mm i appendix carry

>>64100519
nigger I didnt say anything about hard and soft, I said universal and custom
if you get a holster fitted for your gun you can get it so that it covers the safety, if thats what you want

manual safety on the bodyguard is also almost impossible to snag

>>64090108
you can't even go into your yard without a gun?

>>64099352
>transfer response

>>64100576
nta but you sound very european

ok so you're not willing or able to follow a basic ass conversation, wasting my time here.

>>64086419 (OP)
>Should I get it?
Yes BUT it should be the teal an stainless steel one.

>>64100608
MUH SAFETY LEVER MUST BE COVERED AT ALL COSTS

>>64100927
Do they have camo / OD / other frames, yet?

>>64100927
>teal an stainless stee
Would actually look spicy with black tiger stripes.

>>64100608
>>64099750
>it's more or less a fact that most pocket holsters don't cover safeties
I can refute this point while ignoring the soft holster comment because it doesn't apply
stop fighting so hard for a win and go shoot the bodyguard 2.0, you'll enjoy it

>>64089672
>- They feel like shit when shooting them
I'm so sick of you fucking retards sperging about how uncomfortable small guns are for your baby soft pussy hands. Shut the fuck up. Small guns are defensive weapons, they exist for a purpose and that purpose is to hide on your person and to kill your attacker. They aren't fun to shoot? Cool, shove your 9mm 2011 and its tactical accessories up your ass sideways for concealment. They aren't meant to be fun range toys you double nigger, they're meant to conceal easily and kill.

>>64100927
i hope there are replacement safety leves that are bigger than this miniscule flat textured nub.

>>64102678
its actually pretty easy to disengage. a little stiff right out of the box but actuating it a few dozen times to wear it in helps.

>>64101991
yeah they have brown, OD, all sorts of new colors. Just check the website dumdum

>>64100536
M&P Shield in an Enigma is invisible and ultra comfy with shorts and a t-shirt. I mean a 380 would probably be even more invisible but I don't see that tradeoff being worth it.

>>64086419 (OP)
>plastic

>>64100584
coping so hard

>>64086419 (OP)

In my honest opinion I think it should be the new default for someone who just wants one gun to carry, or someone's first gun.

$400 brand new, cheaper used, 12+1 and 10+1. Shoots amazingly for it's size. Extremely easy to iwb cc, with the 10 round mag you can even pocket carry easy and have 10+1.

It's my daily carry, I think it should be the new standard default carry gun. Of course if you want something else get it, but I think it's a great price point for a great gun that's easy to cc and should be the go-to for anyone who wants a conceal carry but doesn't have one

>>64086419 (OP)
Its probably the best 380 pocket gun out there. It is tiny and my hands are way too big to grip it very well, however I am the weirdo that thinks 2011 grips are perfectly sized. The recoil is very manageable, trigger is great. I wish the front sight was a big dot as opposed to the finer one they use. VS the LCP Max on the range I noticed no real difference. In short, for what it is, the gun is fine, nothing more.

>>64102932
>dumdum
No need for that, just asking what's out there
and even official site might not always show what's available or in stock
btw I am the anon that first posted the 2.0 to /k/ (and, no, I'm not a S&W anything simply got the jump seeing 1 pic of it elsewhere a year ago)
Good to hear that they are working the bugs out of the design and coming up with new frame colors
