Picked up the pistol on Tuesday, made it to the range today. Put 100 rounds of FMJ through it; mixture of WWB, Fiocchi and Magtech. It functioned flawlessly. Rate of fire was one round per second. Accuracy is very good. Recoil was light but noticeably more than my G42 and P365 .380, probably due to the lighter weight of the BG 2.0. IMO, the sights are not as good as those on the Glock or Sig. Trigger pull is crisp but heavier than the other pistols. Positive over the G42 is capacity. Positive over the Sig is weight.

All in all, a good day at the range. Although IMO the BG 2.0 is no better or worse than the Glock or Sig, it is indeed a great little pistol.

I'd hate to be the guy on the receiving end of any of those groups.

What do you do, sleep with them? Great shooting!

Very nice. Good shooting for such pistols. I have a Bodyguard 2.0 as well and carry it often. It’s smaller than both the 365 and 42. It’s a trade off as the other two are slightly easier to shoot well.

Y’all gotta stop or I’m gonna have to buy one. 😡

Thanks for making that post.

I really love my Glock 42, and I have a +2 Taran Tactical mag extension on mine - so, it has more capacity.

So, I keep asking myself if this Bodyguard 2.0 is worth it. I can't get it now - but maybe in the future.

I had a feeling the recoil would have to be more on the Bodyguard 2.0 compared to the Glock. I am surprised to hear that the trigger is heavier than the G42 trigger, though... Everyone keeps talking about the sub 4lb trigger on the youtube channels.

It’s worth having a true pocket .380 if one doesn’t have one. The Bodyguard is basically the size of the LCP, slightly fatter. G42 is more shooteable yet larger. Primary trade off. Same capacity which for me is a disappointment. I still want a 42 one day tho

I have a LCP. Yea, the trigger sucks, and it is not fun to shoot. But, it is so small and has a purpose. The Bodyguard is thicker than the LCP. I don't think it would be a true LCP replacement, which is the only reason I would want one....

You’d be surprised. It is pretty much as concealable, and for sure is more so than larger pistols including the 42 and 365. Also, the recent LCP model is even fatter than the Bodyguard I think.

Well, I will have to take a look at it then.

I was referring to the original LCP (which I have), not the LCP

 

[TacticalSpeed]

I want to grab one to see if it will replace my Max. The $350 online vendors are out of stock. Booooooooooooooo!!!

Nice shooting

Nice report. Your sniper 380acp skills rating = legendary .

It's a true LCP replacement for me - my original LCP is back in its box in the safe, the Bodyguard 2.0 is in my pocket holster. Fits the same pocket holster. Fits the same pocket. Shoots better, and holds more ammo. Handle one in person if you can, it feels smaller than you'd think, in a good way.

I would like to see some 25 yard targets.

I would like to see some 25 yard targets.

My original Bodyguard performs reasonably out to 25y.

Including keeping up with a P365 and a 4" Shield .45 with a red dot.

So, if the tiny 1.0, hammer-fired version can keep up at 25 yards, I presume the larger, striker-fired model should do just fine.

Very nice groups! I miss my 42.
That Bodyguard is also a great tool

Ok, will do. Still trying to find one in person to hold. Thanks

I'm sure its a fine little gun, but Ill stick with my 9's and my 42 for deep carry.

I have XXL hands so I wouldn'l feel comfortable with such a short barrel.
