So i'm in the process of downsizing on guns, and i've decided to stick with 380 as my pistol caliber, getting rid of my 9mms. I've been in the process of looking for another 380 to pick up for next year. ( I limit myself to buying 1 gun per year) when I realized there's simply nothing in that space that provides any actual upgrade over my bg 2.0. I've been looking at some other 380s such as the p365-380, but the issue is I can't justify these. The bg 2.0 has a 12+1 or 10+1 capacity. A lot of other 380s don't even reach 10. And another issue most of these guns are much larger than the bg (while often having less capacity). And the BIGGEST overall issue is i'm accurate with the gun and it already has pretty much no recoil. I'm about as accurate with my bg 2.0 as I am with my 9mm shield plus, while being able to shoot way faster due to less recoil. So I can't even justify moving to a BIGGER 380 to have an easier shooting gun, since I already find the bg 2.0 easy to shoot. The main competitor to the bg 2.0 is probably the lcp max, and even though they're upgrading the Max with the magpull grip, the lcp does not compare in terms of accuracy, so I doubt the upgraded version will either. But we will see.

Honestly it's looking like my next pistol is gonna be...another bg 2.0 Maybe in a different color or some shit idk. I was really hoping i'd at least be able to find like a good 15 rounder, but even if I do it's hard to justify going from 13 to 15 rounds with a gun several times the size. I think we need to see some real innovation in guns that shoot this caliber at this point, or else I feel like the bg 2.0 is just the best overall option. Maybe they should try to build in a higher capacity? I do feel like Smith should offer a 380 that's around shield plus size that isn't the EZ version, with at least 15 round mags. I'm open to recommendations for a new 380, but it's not looking good.
