Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Thoughts on the Smith and Wesson bodyguard 380 with Crimson trace laser

So I’ve been looking for something extremely concealable in a pocket holster. I have many options which are slightly larger and are often used however, looking for something with the smallest size, and yet still better than a rock.
I handled a Smith and Wesson bodyguard 380 with crimson trace green laser. The laser is what impressed me the most. What is the group thoughts on these or is there a such a better option in a comparable size? For reference looking for something smaller than a P365

Some years ago I asked to see one at a gun store in town. They said I could try the trigger, so I did. Terrible. I wouldn't want a little .380 with a trigger that bad.

I bought a regular bodyguard for my wife and she carried it in her purse (only way she is going to carry and she did buy a purse for this) then I saw a crimson trace laser grip like you describe. This now resides in her purse. As Hawkeye say's the trigger is nothing to write home about. Heavy, alway's double action. They both have been fired and never a malfunction, I carry the regular bodyguard in my pocket at work every day in a sticky's pocket holster. It work's good for me in that role. I carry something else out of work and weekends.

I carried one for a year. It serves its purpose. I trade it in on a glock, I shoot it much better.

I grew to dislike pocket carry in slacks. Even with the best holster they sag.

Agreed. That's why I don't pocket carry unless there's no other option in a short term situation. Ordinarily, my daily carry is a Glock 26 carried IWB at 4:00.

PS The only pants pocket gun that I can comfortably carry every day (if I chose) is one of those NAA Min Revolvers. It was my daily carry during much of the 1990s.
