My SIL has a Bodyguard. I didn't like it either. I took her to the

I like the Sig P938 much better.


How do they compare size wise? The one good thing about the Bodyguard
is that it was a good pocket size pistol. Problem was that if I ever
had to use it in a hurry for self-defense I'd probably hit the sucker in
the foot.



Pocket pistols give me the creepies. I dunno why. If I were buying a
carry pistol, it wouldn't fit in my pocket. My fav revolver probably is
the S&W 686.


For concealed carry, I liked the pocket sized S&W. I had a nylon pocket
holster for it. Thing is, in the summer at the guitar shop I often wore
light "T" shirts or something that made concealing a hip or back holster
a little difficult. You can always tell who's carrying in the summer.
They usually have a un-tucked shirt or a light jacket on, even in 90
degree weather. The pocket sized S&W Bodyguard was convenient that way
and was small enough to be inconspicuous. Many musicians are liberals
and don't take too kindly to a guy selling them a guitar with a gun on
his belt. :-)

I have a buddy who carries in an ankle holster. I get a kick out of
that. I could just picture myself being robbed up at the shop and
hopping around on one foot while asking the guy to hold on until I drew
my weapon.
