I also bought a second one just last week. The XS R3D 2.0 sights for it should be arriving today. One thing I learned is that the first one's trigger is down to 4 pounds after nearly 2000 rounds, and the new one started at slightly over 5 pounds. Two nights of dry firing the new one brought...

Some kydex IWB holsters are ambidextrous. The Blackhawk Stache and LAG Tactical Liberator are examples. You can move the belt clip from one side to the other. You may already have one, depending on the gun you want to carry. I broke the wrist on my dominant hand many years ago. I learned to...

Sig P365XL with a Holosun 507K with a Primary Arms ACSS reticle. If it is staying home, you can put a light on it.

Keltec has one factory in Rock Springs, WY that is cranking out PR57s.

I've never heard it expressed that way, but it is a better way of saying what I have been thinking. I'm going to borrow that concept from you. The micro 9mms can be accurate, but they are much slower than larger guns at any distance and require a lot of practice/training to stay in shape. Add...

It's easier to make a small gun bigger than to make a big gun smaller. Designing the small gun first gives the manufacturers some optionality. I hope that S&W decides to make its Bodyguard 2.0 .380 in a version with a 3.5 inch barrel. I like the original size but I see applications for a...

I've shot my Sig P365 9mm in BUG, but I was making the 125 power factor doing it. I can't load a .380 up enough to make the power factor. I have tried with my Sig P365-380, Glock 42, and S&W Bodyguard 2.0 and just can't do it in those short barrels with published load data within SAAMI spec...

For a critter that is charging you, the face and chest are coming straight at you. All you need is a few inches of penetration into the brain to put the animal down. A heart-lung shot also would get through, and still no different with a hollow point than a mono-metal or hard cast. Same for a...

That was fun! I like to shoot BUGs. It just requires the mental discipline to not attempt to keep up with the race guns. Otherwise, it gets ugly quick.

I use Xtreme Penetrators or +P hard cast in 9mm or 255 grain +P hard cast in 45 ACP.

9BP is not not low powered ammo. It may be obsolete in the sense that it is not bonded and not tested under current testing protocols against barriers. But, it definitely will leave a mark! I generally agree with this, although I find that most of the newer dual recoil spring guns do need to...

The Smith board is overly picky IMHO, and I certainly wouldn't worry if the gun doesn't work 100% with some ammo I never heard of and that people buy because it's cheap. I view the BG 2.0 as being similar to the Glock 42, that being a small gun designed to be as durable as its bigger brothers...

I've shot carry optics division using a Sig P365 with a Holosun 407K. I didn't do well against the full sized guns. :) IDPA could use a carry optics division for the small stuff. Also, the BUG division is tailored around something like a Glock 26 when it would be nice if they would lower the...

I ordered 1000 rounds of Winchester White Box .380 flat points for $299.75 shipped plus tax from Sgammo on Sunday afternoon and received it this morning. When was the last time you saw big name .380 for 30 cents a round? It would have cost me 22 cents a round to load it myself at current...

I shoot what I carry. I won't win against the people with game guns that fall into the same category, but my primary goal is not to win a game contest.

If the strikes were off center compared to all the other ammo, it is possible that the gun was not fully locked up when the striker released. Possible explanations could be that the ammo was underpowered or the gun needed some break-in of the recoil spring assembly. I always try to use full...

I agree with all of your "desired features" except good sights and always locks back after last shot. I also would add to the desired features "substantially better accuracy" (even before I changed the sights). I disliked the LCP Max so much that I got rid of it after about 100 rounds. As for...

The way the sights ended up mounted the rear sight is centered but the front sight is a little left of center and it seems to hit point of aim for me with no overhang of either piece. It was mostly luck. Drawing from a pocket is somewhat subjective. No auto is going to be as smooth as a S&W...

I never got that memo, either. The addition of the excellent XS R3D 2.0 night sights definitely made mine a range gun as well as a pocket gun and kicked my Glock 42 to the back of the safe.

I am interested in buying one for T&E, but the use case is for the occasional shooter who needs an easy gun to shoot and will never pull a reload in the middle of a situation. I know a lot of people who fit those criteria, and too many people recommend revolvers and semi-autos that those people...
