That's a neat little .380. Let us know how it shoots.

Right on. Will you conceal carry or is this for the home? I am not the biggest fan of the .380, but if you are confident and are accurate, you'll be fine in an emergency! Aim is more important than caliber. I have a .40 S&W M&P for work and a .40 Sub-compact Springfield XD for backup.

I have the same gun. Great pistol, but not a fan of how much creep there is with the trigger safety.
S&W still makes some great pistols. Although not a big fan of .380 unless you are shooting something closer than 10 ft., but I guess that is what a sub-compact is for. I would find that the bullet would tumble at short distances and negating any benefit of a hollow point. My .02 cents.

Right. Definitely a short range caliber. We went from a .40 Beretta Centurion ( DAO .40 version of the 92) to the M&P, HUGE improvement!

My dad bought a S&W Sigma, VERY similar to the one HemiMark has posted up top, except no lazer, brand new back around 1992. I was very young when this happened, but I remember going to the gun shop. He used to keep it in his pocket on traffic stops for backup. That was a .380 as well. He traded in an old 6 shooter for it, so he must have felt o.k. with the .380!

Hollow points in a .45 only boys and girls! Life becomes so much easier after that.
I had a Sigma .380 also. I couldn't hit anything with it unless I was right on top of it. I sold it to a buddy who still carries it in the console of his truck. I went up to the Baretta nine. It's a little bigger, but still easily concealable.

I didn't... have a link for me?
I bought 2 S&W BodyGuard 380's today. One for Susan and the first thing out of her mouth was "didn't they have it in pink?"

Those .380 sure are popular. I've always said guns and Mopars are better than money in the bank!

I bought 2 different ones. One just clips onto the belt and the other is a pocket one... the gun slides right out.... very nice.

369 days till I get a Beretta 92. 
This is just in looks. I still have no idea how something like that would feel for me, I'll get a better idea when I go shooting with my uncle in December.

This was useful

I bought one of these a while back.
I chose it for several reasons :
It was the only one with a full double action trigger every time.
It has a safety
It has a laser built in
What I didn't like about it was .
Because of the trigger, it took a lot of pull to get the shot off.
The laser is either on or blinking or off and isn't controlled by the trigger pull.
What I liked about it was
It's size. My brother got me a pocket holster and it fit nicely in my front or back pocket.
It's reliable if you have a misfire you can keep pulling the trigger til it goes boom.
It is fairly accurate for its size
I am happy with it and I hope I never really need to use it.
Range time is a must with this gun, it takes a least a box to get used to it.
Enjoy.
