I carry a s&w 442 performance center daily.
Several years ago I carried an M&P bodyguard .380 with Barnes tac-xpd ammo. I had to kill a deer I hit with my car that broke it's back. I had to empty two magazines into it to kill it. The projectiles barely penetrated the skin. I sold the gun shortly thereafter. Not a big fan of .380 |

Friday, I picked up a holster for my Bodyguard 2.0. The maker said half his orders are for that gun.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Action45: What S&W has done with the Bodyguard 2.0 is magical. It’s a very small pistol that still feels like a full sized gun somehow. It’s a home run This. All handguns are underperformers, and I'd rather carry more underperformers (10+1 & a 12rd reload) than fewer. |

Set them aside and add ‘em to the .380 bucket. If that’s our only problem, we got no problem. |

I’m over 400 rounds thru the bg 2.0. Awesome gun that shoots like a bigger gun
My cold start drill is the 52 card round up. 5 rounds on a playing card from 5 yards in under 5 secs. I average just under 4s |

I consider 38 and 380 as up close belly guns. Point and shoot. LCP Max 10+1 is better than 5 38+. Friend of mine bleed out in less than 2 minutes from a 380….shot placement. Mostly, I just want to stop who ever is attacking me. 11 is better than 5.

The .38 Special does an excellent job of icing pedos on national TV

If you take the time to find ammo that shoots to the sights a snub nose can shoot well at reasonable self defense ranges  Attached File Attached File |

LCR Rimfire in LR or Magnum is better than most for older women to actually use.

I’ll probably shoot a Doe this year during late season, from my archery spot, with .38Special. I’m having plenty come in to handgun range
