My BG 380 Range Report
Well, after finally getting my Bodyguard 380 back from Smith and Wesson for the third time trying to get the laser switch fixed - my 380 was finally fixed, and I was able to get to the range.
I want to love this pistol so bad, but was diappointed at the range. Main issues I have are :
1. Accuracy stinks for me. I realize main issue is probably operator - but
when I can pick up any of my pistols and be happy with the results and
this one I can't hit the broad side of a barn - it concerns me. I
am posting on my RIA next, you can check out my shooting there where
I'm posting a target - I'm pure ameteur, but I am happy with my results
with that compact 45. I think the main issue with accuracy for me is
due to point 2.
2. Horrible trigger pull. Very long, and jerky. Halfway through the long pull,
it gives a little jerk, but that is just the halfway point - lol. I find myself
pulling the trigger halfway back just to start my shooting process which I
had to break myself of.
3. Recoil overall was not bad. Much better than my LCP.
4. Only 2 failure to ejects out of 30 rounds or so. Both were last round, and
the spent case got caught up in the slide. Happened fairly early on so
I think it worked itself out.
All in all, I may try her a few more times, but if I can't get anywhere close to happy with accuracy at even 15 feet, I don't have a lot of faith carrying it. I shot my friends Sig P238 and it was night and day. Very accurate, smooth, and even less recoil. May decide to look to trade up and get myself a Sig ??
