A S&W Bodyguard 2.0, 380 ACP, and a G43X, 9mm, with an Ameriglo tritum front sight. Haven’t taken either gun to the range, but will next week. Had a Shield Arms magazine release installed in the G43X, and picked up 3 each S15 magazines. It is really amazing that Shield Arms can get 15 rounds in a flush fitting magazine, whereas the factory mag is 10 rounds. The Bodyguard 2.0 is an amazingly small pocket pistol that came with two magazines, 10+1 and 12+1. The pistol is about the same size as the Ruger LCP Max, but has much better ergonomics IMO. Will take both to the range next week.

I have the Glock42 in my car.. bought it for my ex. Took it to the range and I was way more inaccurate shooting it than my other .45 and 9mm Glock pistols. It’s lightweight and I had to adjust for that. I pulled a lot the left. But I figure if I have to pull it while working in Atlanta I’ll be close enough to be accurate.

Yup. A large percentage of defensive firearm use happens within 5 feet.

Expecting trouble?

I certainly hope not. I like to shoot and I keep searching for the perfect concealed carry pistol, and these two are good options. Traded my G42.

Love my 42. Wish Toasty would try to rob me.

Oldest just picked up a BG 2.0 earlier this week. Impressive design and feel...makes a good concealed carry.
