Bud's has one for $352. Seems to be best price. Anyone bought from Buds? Ive seen $375-$450 on gunbroker.

Any ideas of a comparable price in BR?

I buy from Bud's all the time. They also have a layaway and free shipping. Find a local FFL dealer who won't charge more than $20.

Buy an m&p shield. It's way better than a lcp. I have both.

M&P Bodyguard

Can't go by Hickok though, he likes and drives tacks with everything.

I have the P238 love it but I'm an accuracy freak. LCP has an absolutely awful trigger. I had an LC9 with that awful trigger. I could shoot well with it, but it took a lot of effort and concentration because of that trigger.

im here to tell you that no one wants to stand there with bullets being fired at them.


45 ACP would be better but my scrubs would be around my ankles.

No offense, BP. I still may still end up with multiple

It's a great cc carry - smaller then a wallet .

That said/- better shoot one before you purchase.

Not sure. Bodyguards appear to go for around $400 or so..... The Kahr appears to be $650ish. Trigger pull would be biggest reason I went Kahr, but I know there are trigger modifiers for the others. Would probably make them similiar in price?

Not sure on them at the moment, but I do like the size of these 3

Are you dead set on 380? I would go 9mm at least.

Not dead set on 380, but the size is what I am more interested in...... I realize most of the compact 9's are similiar in size..... but I am not a big guy, and wear scrubs daily like BP. I have entertained a ankle holster tho. Most of the holster reviews I have read say these 380 holsters are made for units without the laser. I am not hung up on the laser, but want one.

You could easily conceal a small 9mm in scrubs with a good holster. Similar to this:



A small IWB holster with a small 9mm is what I carry, even in gym shorts. As long as the shorts have a string tie you should be good.

Boss, here are some of my thoughts:

1. Check out the Kahr CW380. It is much more inexpensive than the P380 and is dimensionally identical. It only has a few minor differences that separate it from the P380, one of which that it only comes with one mag.

2. Any small 380 will probably have a long trigger pull unless you entertain the idea of the Sig P238. Then you have to bring the thought of a manual safety into your training. It's your call.

3. If you buy a small, single stack 9mm, like my Kahr CM9, there is a more to it than just a slightly bigger gun. There is considerably more metal in the slide and the ammo itself weighs more, making the loaded gun heavier. To sum it up, subcompact single stack 9mms can fit in SOME pockets, whereas a subcompact single stack 380 will fit in virtually ALL pockets.

4. Watch my videos for more info.
