S&W Bodyguard 2.0 is pretty cool.

Considering how small it is, this would make a great deep concealment piece. Definitely on my short list & well above the HK CC9

Honestly not a fan of super tiny guns. I'd consider the HK CC9 IF they made a paddle release module.
I don't think printing is anywhere near an issue as some people make it out to be, and guns that tiny are harder to properly handle.

If your workplace supports it, I can absolutely agree. Unfortunately some of that kind of stuff can be frowned upon, even if technically not against any workplace rule or local law. For those kinds of situations, or example just walking to the mailbox and back I can see one of these being very useful.
If I was more comfortable doing so I'd CC my 365XL all day every day, but I'm not so here we are. IMO the worst conceal carry is the one that sits in the safe all day because you're too timid to carry it. While these aren't perfect, they've come a long way and very much have their use case.

I worked in an Amazon Warehouse for half a year & carried a P07 every day. Hundreds of cameras watching me, managers walking everywhere, and even while printing HORRIBLY some days - I never once got caught.
The ONLY people that notice it are other carriers that know to not say anything

So let me dispell your fear.
Probably zero. Because you're not looking for it, and even if you were if it's not painfully obvious it's hard to see.
So if you, a gun owner, who presumably knows what to look for, hasn't noticed. Why would anyone else?It's all in your head man.

I carried a bodyguard when I worked at Target because it was against the rules.

Typically, I agree, but this was VERY manageable. I’d put it on par with my P30SK & Glock 19
afopatches@reddit
Same here. Smallest I'll ever go for a carry gun is a 365. And even then I'd still prefer the XL.

I really want a Glock 19 size 380. Unfortunately, the people who it would be great for would never buy it.
ratmanmedia@reddit (OP)
EZ Shield .380 is similar but worse capacity, Beretta 80x is basically that but DA/SA
jaunesolo81829@reddit
I mean there’s the option of converting a Glock 19 to 380. Feeds from the same mags fine, extractor needs a bit of fiddling with but other than that it works fine
RedditPoster05@reddit
That’s kind of nifty .
FPSXpert@reddit
I want one so bad, especially given how much I like the full size M&P's for range farting.
Then I see the $400 price tag, and remember that my LCP is "jus as gud" 😂
Reviews seem like nothing but good things, but I just can't justify the $400 price tag right now for a pocket pistol when things are tight at the moment. Maybe I wait a bit longer and if one hit $350 or lower on Black Friday, then my wallet might be in trouble lol.

Honestly, seeing it run ALL day in the sun at GOALS solidified it as a future purchase for me. Tons of guns were being pulled off the line because they were having issues with the heat
TaurusPTPew@reddit
Does it still have their horrible trigger?
ratmanmedia@reddit (OP)
No, they went to striker fired. It’s not quite as good as an M&P, but it’s pretty decent
TaurusPTPew@reddit
Good to know, cuz damn. 50 lb trigger with a false reset.

Got to shoot one about a week ago. It was a big shock. The trigger was quite impressive and will likely improve over time. The gun, despite being very small, fit well, even in my gorilla sized hands, although it almost disappeared in my grip, lol. Shooting it was the big shock, though. I have a Sig P938, which is pretty similar in size. This thing, though, shot like a much larger sized firearm. I would compare it to a Glock 48 in terms of shotability. My only concern was that in order to properly grip it. My left-hand trigger finger was a bit close to the barrel.
Token_Black_Rifle@reddit
I remember shooting the original one and it had the worst trigger of any gun I had ever shot. Extremely heavy. Hopefully this one is better.
ratmanmedia@reddit (OP)
Substantially better, less than half the weight of the original, and not hammer fired
OkiePNW@reddit
It’s definitely better. Completely different striker fired action.
