Help me decide, new pocket pistol
- Thread starter Trex33
- Start date
Only gun I have to fit in a pocket is the BG 380, even then it's like carrying a wallet in my front pocket. Other than that, I carry a CM9, but that is definitely not fitting in my pockets comfortably or un-noticeably. I'm 5'10" 185 lbs and I don't wear tight jeans. Some of you guys must wear some goofy looking, baggy as hell pants!
I prefer having a safety on a pocket pistol, and like having the laser for if I ever have to make a longer shot, so the BG works for me.

I just bought a BG380 no safety. I like it so far in my jeans you cant tell what it is with the desantis hostler. I went no safetu because I can't swipe the safety well and I won't rem to switch it of before drawing from a pocket. With that HEAVY trigger and hoster it will be fine.
Do you guys carry with fmj or jhp for your .380 pocoet gun?
OH Hell!
JHP for sure!
to many good 380 defense cartridges on the market now days for one to carry a high penetration round like a FMJ.
check out the new modern ammo in 380, most all provide good penetration and good expansion, some of the most used (Hornady FTX) do not however so check before buying.
IF you reload then Barnes copper, COP Copper, Gold dots , XTP are all available as projectiles only.
I don't work as law enforcement or FBI so those proto calls mean little to me, I don't see myself shooting through a windshield, car door or other barrier with my bug.
IF you want FBI standards then buy a 9 MM Plus P, or 40 S &W.
For 380 SD ammo I use LeHigh Defense Xtreme Defender, its a solid copper projectile with a sorta cork screw shape. Great penatration and also good wound cavity. Best of both worlds IMHO.
