380's are not as much fun to shoot as larger guns
I'd argue that they suck to shoot.

I have a bodyguard for my CCW. Its fairly accurate and can be easily hidden on person. Plus side is it has a laser for dark/night applications. I bought this gun for concealment purposes only. Crappy trigger pull and expensive ammo are downfalls

Thanks to all for the input. I think I will change my mind and start looking at another 9mm. I have the ammo, but just can't hide my Barretta 92 anywhere other than the glove box in my truck. So be it. What would you recommend as a smaller 9mm ? Range is $500....

Great feedback. I have heard that on the Bodyguard... Cool gun, but may switch to 9mm now...

If you want to stick to single-stack 9mm...
M&P Shield
Kahr CW9
Kahr PM9
Kahr CM9
Ruger LC9
Sig P239 (Largest, much larger than some mentioned)
And there are more...

I still haven't gotten my official card. Once I do that, I register with LSP then I'm golden. Who knows how long that will be though. I'll let you know, don't worry.

i gotta renew before july

It'll be long before July. The instructor told me 4 to 8 weeks after the class and it was nearly a month ago so I'm expecting it anytime.

the walther ppk is a piece of shite. I like it because its james bonds gun, but outside of that it is a terrible gun and way overpriced.

It's an impractical gun. You can get a 9MM smaller and lighter with a more powerful and cheaper ammo.

I have the SW Bodyguard. Not much fun to shoot. I am sure it has it's place, but entertainment ain't it. If you need something to keep in your pocket as a last resort defensive firearm, I am sure it will do fine. But if you're trying to get good groups with it, you're going to be disappointed.
I also have a Sig 938 (the 9mm version of the 238) and I cannot give it enough praise. If I were you and insisted on a .380, the Sig would be on my very short list.
The pocket .380 are also stupid loud. I was at the range and when I switched from my 1911 .45 to the .380, two guys came over and said "What the hell was that"?
FWIW, IF you insist on the Bodyguard, I'll make you a deal on mine...

The Bersa Thunder is a little bigger and heavier than your standard .380. And, yes, fun to shoot. You can grab one for about $300-$325 right now.

I have a Bersa- I like it better than any of those in the OP
