I had looked at a S&W BG 380 "Bodyguard" at my favorite gun shop a
couple of weeks ago. It's small - classified as a "pocket" pistol -
and has a polymer body. I had heard and read some good reviews but
at the time I decided that it was just *too* small for my hand.

But then I tried one at the range. A friend had purchased one as his
primary "carry" gun. I was really surprised at how comfortable it
was to shoot and, for a very lightweight pistol shooting 380 rounds,
the recoil was far less than what I expected.

So, I got one. It's ideal as a concealed carry if you are into that.
Really don't need a holster. Just stick it in your pants pocket and
after a while you forget it's even there. I like the fact that the
trigger is not exposed, so it can't catch on anything. The trigger
pull is long which takes some getting used to but again I see that as
an additional safety factor for a pistol you can carry in your pocket.
Has a safety and a built-in laser. I like it. My Walther feels
like a lead weight compared to it.

I was going to check out the Ruger LCP .380 as well but thanks to our
goofy and often conflicting governing agencies in this state, it is
not MA compliant.
I think they put the serial number in an offending place or something.


The Sig 250 is a bit bigger than the Bodyguard and weighs about twice as much. It's called a
subcompact, but the barrel length is almost a full inch longer than the one on the Bodyguard. The
metal frame probably accounts for most of the weight difference. Except for one, the reviews I've
read have been pretty good. Of course, the 'one' was right here in rec.boats!

The trigger pull on the P250 is also pretty long, as it's double action only. The safety is a
trigger safety, but I don't see myself carrying the thing with a round in the chamber. But, who
knows.

Actually, the big pusher for a smaller pistol was my wife, who liked the size of her sister's
Walther PK380.

Speaking of my wife, she called a few minutes ago to see if I wanted speed loaders for the
revolvers. She's taking her firearms class now, and I gave her the M&P9 and a S&W Chief's Special
(.38 Special) to learn on. It's a five hour class for females taught by a female. Apparently she's
having a pretty good time. She'll probably come home with her own arsenal.

Oh well, at least I won't have to feed 'em and shovel poop!

I'm not hoping, Herring. I'm just expecting it. You seem to have a
cavalier attitude towards firearms.

I didn't escape the draft. Like most young men back then, I wasn't drafted.
And I wasn't so dumb that I would enlist to fight the people of Vietnam or
for that corrupt regime in Saigon.

I know you were too smart to get drafted, enlist, or have anything to do with the military except
work for that general in Vietnam.

Remember telling us about that? Were you over there protesting? Jane Fonda in disguise?

Try to keep your facts straight, little ****head. *You* called me, I
didn't call you, and at the time you called, I was cleaning a firearm I
had used previously. I had just reassembled it and was dry firing it to
make sure everything was put back in place. You're the one who had a
woody about the slide racking, not me.

I know reality is not something you face on a regular basis, but do keep
in mind that I have *never* called you.

Wasn't it during your call to me that I offered free services to help
you get medications at no cost and also doctors' office visits on a
sliding scale for some family medical emergency you were having, and
you, in your ignorance and stupidity, turned down the help?

You haven't gotten any smarter in the years since you called me.
