LCP or Bodyguard, and why... GO!

[FUAC]

Interested in opinions of those that have or have shot both.

Thanks.

Why 380 auto?

[Ancap]

Sig p238

accurate, low recoil, nice fit and finish, fun to shoot all day long

.380 Sucks. Get a S&W Shield and don't look back. It's a great shooter so you won't mind practicing with it at the range.

[FUAC]

Already have full size and mid sized carry guns. Looking for a true pocket gun. Wallet sized, but easy on the wallet.

I know the .380 is not a popular round, but it's better than nothing.

.380 is fine, besides most handguns do not have stopping power and shot placement is key....p238 is the best pocket gun I have tried for shot placement due to low recoil and 1911 type trigger

Problem is, the LCP with a laser is still a couple of hundred less than the p238... and lighter...

yeah I get it, it is more expensive

but unlike the LCP you will want to bring it to the range with you every time you go

plus the gun s nice enough to hand down to your kids

It worth waiting a few months to save up the extra dough for one

plus they make a .22lr conversion kits, so in the long run you can save on ammo

Have LCP for 8 yrs oe so,shot Bodyguard and others.
For what I wanted it for it fits the bill

I've got a LC 380 and it works fine. Shoot good, hides well

[MikeM]

I have the bodyguard and it is what it is, a small inexpensive pocket gun. Not fun to shoot but you have others for that. I bring it every time I go to a range and put at least 50-100 rounds through it. Never a jam or misfire. Sights suck but it's self defense so who needs sights. I get good groups at 7 yards with just point and shoot. Since you can't draw from a pocket around here I drill by putting on bench picking up fire 3 rounds and put down.

Glock 42?

[Paté]

I have both. Buy the LC9.

Palmetto state armory, LCP $199.00

I have an LC9 and have shot both the LCP and the Bodyguard.. I didn't care much for the Bodyguard at all. Didn't feel very comfortable to grip and I really disliked the trigger. Because its slightly larger they've added some enhanced features. I can see it attracting a certain segment of buyers who find those things as must haves. On a pistol this small I don't get the need. Personally I prefer the feel of the LCP and the LC9 over the Bodyguard. The trigger is a little better but still long.. But like others have said it is what is and with size comes a trade off.. Obviously, its not meant for hours upon hours of range time bliss. With ultra concealability being the driving force, I'd choose the LC.
