The trigger pull is a nightmare. I would rather something I don't need a come along to pull the trigger.

:Sig238:

I was flip flopping between LCP and the Bodyguard. Finally decided I wanted the Kahr CW380 that came out in January but couldn't wait. Saw a Sig P238 and got it. Couldn't be happier. The trigger and the sights are the difference maker to me. Add the 7+1 mag that gets the pinky on there and Hogue grip. Feels and shoots great.

That's a stock pic but mine's just like it. I have a BIG dilemma now though. Mr. Skuter and I did a CCW class in March. She shot a .38 but hated the recoil. Instructor told her that she could carry a .22 WMR. I really didn't like that idea but she got it in her mind since then. I got the Sig in April but have not told her about it. Today I took here in Academy and made her hold the Sig, rack the Sig...etc. She like it a lot. She then said " I really need to shoot one though, do you know where I can shoot one to decide?" :crickets: I might have to fess up and let her shoot mine and get her another one.

Yeah, I didn't like the fact that the slide didn't lock, didn't like the lack of a safety (for the wife's sake), and the laser button on it felt cheap and flimsy. I liked everything about the bodyguard. Laser is just a button instead of a stick, and I can reach it easier. The slide locks back after last shot, and the trigger is an easy pull. The extra $40 was a no brainwr.

Does she carry in her purse?

If so why get a small gun.

369 is high. I have an LCP and it's fine for what it was designed for ... a pocket gun. Something you slip in your pocket for a quick run to the grocery store.

if you are looking for a full time CCW then there are much better options on the market.

The LCP drawbacks that I see are ...
- fixed sights
- long trigger pull (but this is negated somewhat in my mind because of the lack of a safety and in a fight or flight situation you will not be lacking in adrenaline to pull the trigger)
- Lack of a slide lock when empty

The last one is what makes it not full time CCW worthy IMO.

Very high. Glad you didn't buy it.

I would suggest a Kahr CW380 or P380. They are the best pocket 380s on the market in my opinion.

Did I do well at 409 with the bodyguard? Don't know why, but I really wanted a laser. Of course i haven't shot it yet, so that will be the big teller. I wasn't expecting to buy one, so I really haven't researched them much. My wife took me by surprise when she told me I should get one, while I was standing there admiring. After holding them both, I knew I wanted it over the Ruger.

They had a nickel Sig with pink grips at she was eyeing. I think she let me get mine so i'd get her that for Mother's day.
