Buy a small .380 with a good pocket holster. It has worked perfectly for me thus far. I would recommend avoiding the larger .380 pistols that look like a small 9mm.Teamless wrote:I agree, but how do you know what works, until you spend the money and really try it, standing, walking, sitting, etc.Purplehood wrote:Don't sweat it.

And lets say I do finally end up with the Bodyguard .380, now what pocket holster and am I in for another $280 worth of holsters finding the right one.... this gun thing is getting EXPENSIVE !

Chas.
I have been thinking about needing something like this for a long time.
I now own 4 holsters for my Springfield XD9SC, and am looking for a new pocket gun, and have almost decided on the S&W Bodyguard .380.
I have put a few "compact" 9mm in my pocket, but they seem HUGE! and I don't want to spend another $400 on a gun that doesn't do what I am looking for.
So, whenever you can have this CHL Fashion Show, please count me in!
For you pocket carry 9mms and larger, I have tried some and cannot see how you do it. If it comes down to buying another size larger pants, shorts, etc, that just doesn't work, I already have them larger for my CBST, but in my normal cargo shorts or dockers, when I sit down, i see the gun..... not a bulge, but the weapon itself and it can be discerned to be a weapon, so I am stuck and I just do not see how it is possible

Re: Should the 380 be discouraged as a CCW ?
Wow.
I bought my expensive Micro Desert Eagle because I wanted a quality weapon for use during those occasions that I felt my .40 cal was inappropriate. I also practice with it at the range and hate firing the little monster, but I do fire it to make sure it functions and that I can hit the broad-side of a barn.

Re: Should the 380 be discouraged as a CCW ?
I normally carry .40 cal weapons. Due to constraints of my job environment, I am forced to use a .380 at times. I am not concerned about it running out of ammo too soon. The little monster weighs a ton and makes a fine thrown-projectile (Micro Desert Eagle).
