I’m looking to get into CCW. Currently I’m considering starting with a Bodyguard 380 for pocket carry. Reasonable?


I bought my first gun about a year ago. I didn’t feel comfortable carrying right off the bat. I was new to guns and shooting. So, I bought a big full size pistol. It’s a nightstand gun. I’ve spent the pat year practicing with it and getting accustomed to shooting. I think I’m ready to try carrying.One of the ways I typically dress is a tucked in shirt into khakis. Because of this, I don’t usually have some sort of cover garment to conceal IWB. So, I am thinking pocket carry might be right for me.Initially I was leaning towards a J frame like the 642. I like revolvers. But I was able to shoot one at the range yesterday, and damn... It was not pleasant. I couldn’t finish shooting my 2nd cylinder’s worth before I had to stop. Maybe it was my grip or something about the shape of my hand, but it was hell on my thumb. I could not imagine putting in enough practice with that thing.I was also able to try the Glock 42 in 380. That felt pretty good. The G42 is a bit big for the pocket, so I am considering getting the S&W Bodyguard 380. People seem to complain about the DA trigger on the BG380, but I don’t think it will bother me. I am familiar with DA triggers.So there it is. First CCW, pocket carry a BG380. How does that sound? via /r/CCW http://bit.ly/2YtY2L7
