I bought my Ruger LCP 2 .380 in 2017 for $249, and I’ve been carrying it ever since. Threw a Galloway precision Sigurd trigger and spring kit and a viridium laser sight on it. It’s accurate and dependable. I literally have less than 400$ into the lil feller. Love it.
I got my LCP II for about the same price and have been carrying it for several years - six rounds plus one, of .380, isn’t ideal, but beats throwing rocks. I’ll probably go to a Hellcat eventually, but the LCP II makes it easy to conceal and carry, and that means I’ll have it when I need it.

Just got my Bodyguard 2.0 this week. Only have 50 rounds through it so far. Love it. Going to have to train more to not pull left. Got a Vedder lite holster. Very concealable. Really is easy to shoot. Thanks for your review!
As others have said, check your front sight. Mine was noticably too far to the right. I had to use a sight pusher....it was too tight to drift with a punch.
I've had my Body Guard 2.0 for a week and after 150 rounds I can tell you that it is a straight shooter right on target even with one hand. Perfect for when I don't carry my Shield Plus. Thanks for your earlier review of the BG 2.0.
@@friendofGod99 I carry an H&K VP9SK optics ready with an SCS on top. She carries a Glock 43x MOS with a Holosun 507K-GR 2 on top. But she wants something a little smaller with a good IWB holster for summertime.
I chose the kel-Tec P32. Much smaller and lighter than the ones mentioned when you really need undetectable concealment. Mine has been 100% reliable for years. The best deep concealer for 25 years.
@@CrimeVid One of the reasons I only use European ammo like S&B or Fiocchi. There is a noticeable difference from American FMJ. There are no doubt some hotter boutique ammos in JHP form but the Kel-Tec is not really designed for JHP and they don't expand from a 32 anyway so I hang my hat on penetration.
It's about the same overall size as both the LCP Max and the new S&W Bodyguard 2.0, I have stacked all three of them together. About 1/4" shorter and a little lighter.
I’ve got a 938, debating a 238 as a little brother, and it’s really hard to argue with. That said, this new bodyguard is really something, and it could be little brother to my fullsize M&P 9, itself a phenomenal pistol. We’ve got so many great choices now. Good times.
@MrWhitelightning73 I love the SW J frame but don't like the bodyguard. It's their "cheaper" revolver. Having said that though, a spring kit makes these much better to shoot
They didn’t have it til recently bc I have a gx4 and I was looking for something smaller but not ugly so when I get that .380 the bodyguard 2.0 will be my choice. I just bought the Glock 19x for 499 which is a steal so the bodyguard can wait 😂
I've got a gen3 19 as my edc at the moment. But its very uncomfortable to sit with so i have to take it out when getting in the driver seat and put it back when i get out. Torn between the Bodyguard 2.0 and the p365, but leaning towards the 2.0 , to just pocket carry.
I love love love my LCP Max The weight of it was a huge factor for me when choosing between it and P365. It's CONSIDERABLY lighter when fully loaded. I'm really interested in comparing with the bodyguard 2.0
Yes!!! I got one with the integrated Crimson Trace laser. Perfect for a summer carry when wearing light clothing! My daily carry is the Springfield Hellcat Pro during the fall and winter. Superb firearm that with the extended mag you can carry 17 + 1!
I work at a gun range/store. When we got our first Bodyguard 2.0, I couldn’t believe how much better it was than the original. 10+1 in an absolutely tiny frame. None of that double-action-only nonsense like the original Bodyguard or the LCP. The slide is so small it’s almost hard to believe it’s not a toy. I haven’t been able to shoot one yet, but S&W clearly looked at the old one, said “This is trash,” and built a gun that is 10x better than the original.
Bersa Thunder.380CC. Hammer fired with a decocker and safety. Low profile hammer and a small beaver tail. 8 round single stack mag. Tiny and thin but I can still get a grip on it. Great for deep concealment.
Glad someone else has noticed and recognized the issues with the Ruger lcp max slide finish… Had one right when they came out and it rusted in only a few days of carrying it in a pocket
Smith & Wesson M&P 340 loaded with .38 Special. Light weight. Big, visible sights. Concealed hammer means less chance of lint getting into the action. And there is a separate SkU for a version *without* the infernal lock. Practice makes perfect - he’s right about needing to work on being able to shoot a J-frame well.
Smallest and lightest autos at about 14 oz - Kahr PM9/CM9 / PM40 / CM40. Can't get lighter or smaller unless you step down from 9mm. For weight alone - M&P 340pd at 11.8 oz. M&P Shield Performance Center in 40 S&W because it's actually lighter than the 9mm version at about 18 oz (Single Stack version).
Having both a PM40 & a CW380 I certainly gree the later is a smaller caliber, but... It is absolutely tiny and has all the typical KAHR excellent attributes! Please also note that three of the Outlaw's choices are in 380acp as well.
Sorry, but I won't go below 9 mil or .38 for self defense. I don't want to be forced to make moving head shots. Also, in the Northeast, even when ammo availability isn't a chronic issue, even FMJ .380 is STILL usually scarce, let alone "premium" defensive HPTs. We have clear distribution issues here; for example Black Hills is always scarce as hen's teeth & we get a lot of oddball lots of foreign FMJ brands/types - almost as if we're states #41-46 in line for orders or something. If I came across a shop which had a FULL selection of PLENTY of Speer Gold Dot types including .357 AND .45s, I think I'd keel over from shock.😮
I just purchased the bodyguard 2.0 to replace my LCP Max as well and I absolutely love it! Only thing on the entire gun I don’t like is the rear sight. It’s finally the perfect pocket pistol I’ve been looking for. Shoots great and I can get a great high grip on the gun, unlike the LCP max
Have you had a chance to try a gx4? I know Taurus isn't everyone's cup of tea with their 1990s quality control reputation which I would argue has improved a ton over the last 5-10 years. My Gx4 has worked like a dream, very nice clean feeling trigger, and optic ready with 10+1 9mm.
Also switched to the Smith from LCP. Magazines were both defective on Smith out of the box but my gunsmith tore them down and got them working. Great gun.
The bodyguard is a gun that is hard to comprehend until you hold it. It’s so small, so light. Yet so comfortable and shootable. I get a full grip on the flush ten round mag. And the red sight is really easy to pick up. It’s just nice. There’s definitely a place for it in my arsenal.
Just bought my wife a Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 380 and holy crap it's tiny, a true mouse/pocket pistol. My wife has small hands, and has had surgery on both wrists and then her left hand. She really likes the new Bodyguard, shoots nice and easy to operate for her.
I like how all the other channels are like, "The Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 in 380 is great if you're a woman, or an albino haemophiliac with peripheral neuropathy and arthritis, and also child hand syndrome." Enormous bear honest outlaw just praises it for its excellence.
My lady's got the same issues. 2 surgeries on both wrists. I'm probably gonna snag one of these for her but shes also got a sig 238. Little 380 1911. She can rack the slide no problem and it is pleasant to shoot. The springfield 911 is essentially the same thing too. Small differences.
I have a Kahr CT380 & a P9, both are accurate and reliable. Also have mag guts kits for both so I had 8 or 9 rounds depending on which mag is used. They are both rated for +P and the CT 380 has enough grip to hold it.
The LCP Max is in my pocket as I type this. It hasn't lost any finish yet but I keep it in a Kydex pocket holster. It's predecessor, a first gen LCP, wasn't so lucky having been pocket carried in a Remora . In the winter, when a heavy jacket makes drawing from trouser pocket or even an OWB holster harder, a S&W 642 in the jacket pocket works pretty well for all the reasons you've given. Seems like the older and grumpier I get, the lighter an EDC I carry.
My P238 is a sweetheart - accurate, reliable, imminently concealable - love that little gun for occasions when a larger concealed weapon is not realistic.
Same. I love my P238. Best thing about it is it has next to zero recoil since it weighs about 22 or 23 ounces. And the thing is accurate as all get out. That being said, I am very intrigued by the bodyguard 2.0. I hope we can have it here in California.
Been carrying a 380 Gen 1 S&W Bodyguard since they arrived. It barks it bites and works. A true pocket or tux pocket tool. I would love to see a comparison if you can actually get it in your paws.
I agree with much of this list, except for the Ruger. Everyone seems to forget the pricey 2009 release of the Kahr P380, weighing in at 9.97 oz empty and only 0.75" thich. It has the Walther Lothar performance barrel and a buttery smooth DAO trigger. It's only a 6+1 or a 7+1 but it loves +P, is highly reliable and will last forever. It is truly a deep, deep conceal. Still have mine, 15 years later. Just saying...
@barrydraper I’m glad to hear you enjoy your Kahr. I’ve looked into them and it seems like folks either love or hate them. Personally, I’ve never shot one, so I don’t have anything to base it off of. From what I’ve heard, they are supposed to have a new lineup coming soon! Take care and thank you for your input.👍🏻
My main carry guns are the PM9 and P380. All the new high capacity micros are great, but still bigger enough than the Kahrs that I haven't switched. I'm finally swayed by the Bodyguard 2.0.
Interesting. I pocket carry a 365 and have done so since they came out. I live in Orlando so when I have swooshy shorts on, I carry my J frame. I haven’t heard of the Bodyguard 2.0 but I shall take a look the next time I’m at my local.
I would like to see P365-380 vs LCP max vs G42 vs Bodyguard 2.0. BTW I carry my LCP Custom aiwb because I also have back problems and can’t cinch my belt tighter to hold anything else in place without risking triggering a back spasm episode. Love the reviews, keep them coming!
Nice review, and your #1 is on my list to get. My 3 carries are a Glock 26 when it gets cold, Sig 365 and 1st generation Bodyguard. The BG has been carried more than anything else since I got it 11 years ago.
Some folks don’t like the company but I personally like my Springfield hellcat. I pocket carry with a 13 round mag and one in the chamber, and an extra 15 rounder.
Chris, one thing I appreciate about your videos is your consistent support of homeless shelters. I work with people experiencing homelessness. The other day, I was at the range, and someone told me they carry because they are “worried about all the homeless around.” I feel like the gun community has a poor understanding of homelessness and how it's more likely an unhoused person will be a victim of violence than a perpetrator. I’d be curious to hear how you got involved with the shelters and why it’s important to you.
I have had the p365x with the red dot as my edc for the last 2 years. It’s been through a motorcycle wreck (I was hit by another bike) and still is as reliable as the day I brought it home new. Unfortunately the x with red dot is a little to cumbersome for pocket carry and I have to have my shirt tucked at work. You just sold me on the bodyguard as my new pocket carry. I’ll be visiting my local shop tomorrow to order one!
03:22 "...the LCP, which is a pretty awesome and time tested gun..." this is the first time I've heard Chris comment on the LCP. I had tried searching to see if he ever reviewed it, but could not find anything. Having one myself, Chris' remark is interesting because I wonder about its long term durability. I can envision putting 500 rounds through it to establish what its reliabilty is, but then using it mostly for carry with practice occasionally with low round counts. If it does have the durability to handle several thousands of rounds, 2000 to 4000 or more, this would be good to know.
There are some very impressive .380 defensive loads these days. You have to be pickier than usual, of course, but the Lucky Gunner ammo chart is great for that kind of stuff. My little LC380 has some seriously hot rounds in it that will be perfectly adequate for defense.
You can buff your concealed carry pistol slides with a little microcrystalline wax like the Renaissance Wax brand. Under reasonable use you'll protect the slide surface from salts and moisture for around 3 months until it needs removed and reapplied. Great for carbon steel working knives as well!
Thanks for the tip. I replaced my LCP Max with a Bodyguard (which sucks) because it was rusting. Bought the Bodyguard 2.0 and it's awesome except for the slide bite. It would be nice to have option between the BG 2 and the LCP Max.

@@jeffking1406 Turtle way in the spray can works also. Apply a couple coats letting cure for a little while and lasts for years depending how much you disturb it. My truck gun went over 10 years.
I've carried my LCP II for a few years now as a backup. Shockingly no rust or problems with coating on the slide, but mags are a different story. I use a tiny bit of Break Free to coat them now. I think it's time to upgrade to the BG 2.0. Maybe a little wheelgun like that S&W on the ankle too, never can be too well protected.
Since figuring out how to bag-carry my Flux Raider every day, I’ve been appendixing my S&W 340PD with .38+P Civil Defense loads on body this summer. The .357 version are twice as hot a load at 490 ft-lbs vs 250, but the recoil is manageable with such a light projectile, so I run those in a 5-round reload strip.
Let's give the Bodyguard some time to prove itself. Also, no mags were available for months when the Shield Plus came out. Is this a factor with the Bodyguard? I hope S & W learned from their mistake.
Yes sir!!!! Agreed!!!!!! I'm still going to give it a minute to prove itself and I always like a few extra of each mag with different capacities. Without a total of 3 mags of each capacity, at least, it is not useful to me. Looks like a great gun and it's a Smith!!!!!!
You should consider the Kimber R7 Mako, chambered in 9 mm. It comes with either flush fit 10 round magazines, or 13 or 15 round extended magazines. Very compact, and shoots great.

I love the 365 whenever I get a chance to shoot one but I went with the fn and really like it. I pocket carry it every day. I stepped down from a cz p01 (I prefer hammer fired) and my percentage of carry went WAY up
I carry the Taurus GX4 with holosun green dot. Super light weight, and fun to shoot. Comfiest micro pistol grip I’ve held and no malfunctions out of the box. Shot 1000+ rounds and still nothing. I carry it appendix everywhere, even at the gym with my Tulster Oath holster. I forget its there till it’s time to do abs 😂 Definitely worth a shot if you’re looking for budget/value
For my 5-shot revolver I have the Smith & Wesson M&P 340 in .357 Magnum. BUT, I just shoot .38 Special in it. It comes with quality night sights. I usually carry it in a IWB or in pocket holster. It shoots great and is very accurate. The DAO trigger really is smooth and hammer is completely internal (Centennial).
The best .380 is a P365XL lower with a P365 .380 slide and barrel, along with some 12 round .380 mags, which Sig also makes. Basically, a P365X in .380. Sig already had the Bodyguard 2.0 before S&W did.
In stock form the 365 380 is pretty comparable in size but the bore axis looks higher. I don't think it would be as controllable. The Bodyguard's biggest advantage is its a ground up 380 rather than a conversion. No extra dimensions left over from the original 9mm.
Because the majority of them are just 380 which is a crappy round in a self-defense scenario. I mean they have no recoil are no more than a 22. I carry a 10mm now that's a gun. I wouldn't go less than 9 mm and of course my revolvers are 357 Magnum. People need to get off of these toys when their life may be at stake😢😅
I have pocket-carried the Sig P365 since it came out, and it is a great choice. Before that, I carried the Remington RM380, which I believe is highly underrated, but I haven't carried it since I got the P365.
I want the Bodyguard 2.0 as a replacement for my LCP and found one to put in my hand Friday. I am amazed you have put this as #1 though with no thorough review or torture test. lol
@@NY-rg3gythere's a channel who's put almost 2k through it with only one malfunction. I have 340 on mine, currently carrying below the waist band with the Crossbreed mini appendix and g9 in the tube.
380 max went back to Ruger twice. Now has new barrel and slide. Added a Hogue grip. Now accurate at 10 yards but trigger pinches my finger every time. Bodyguard 2.0 has been back at Smith for a month so far. Hopefully just got a lemon. I believe they send reviewers a gun that has been shot and tested and insure that it works perfectly. Would like to see a 1000 round review of the 2.0 you bought from a gun shop.
I like the shield plus over the 365. Better trigger, better sights. The only caveat would be the magazines. Theyre very tight. The 10 round flush is fine but the 13 and 15 are tough to get that last round in. Itll fire fully loaded no problem, but it can be iffy. You can also get the magguts soring and follower which fixes that issue and adds 2 rounds to the mag without adding much length.
I have the 238, LCP Max and the Glock 42. While the 238 is easily my favorite asethically pleasing of the three, the 42 gets carried the most because it shoots so much smoother than the other two and because I prefer to carry with a Techna clip at 4-5 o clock where it just melts into your body. The other two do not carry well with clips. If I want to pocket carry that’s when the 238 shines.
Traded my Carry Max on a Bodygaurd 2.0 just this week. Put a few hundred through it, and I am genuinely amazed that something this small is that shootable.
I like the concept. 9mm is like having a 38 Special where all ammo is +P. The soft swaged 158 +P hollow point still works, meets penetration in cloth barrier gel and expands to 60 caliber from a snub nose. Obsolete means we don't do it that way anymore, not that it doesn't still work. 9mm would be a little cheaper for practice ammo.
I just got back from walking to the corner store. I carried my S&W 638 Airweight J-frame. It’s loaded with Hornady Critical Defense +p. It’s not my EDC, but it serves its purpose for quick walks like that.
I personally like my Taurus G2C. It works well for me, and, if I want I can slip it in my pocket. It is very affordable. I really like the manual safety too.
I’ve had all the same pistols on your list. The only 2 that remain for deep concealment for me are the J frame, and the BG2.0. My main reason for trusting such a new platform? I’ve had the ability to shoot over 1000 rounds of mixed FMJ/JHP’s through the BG2.0. It has been very very very good. Easiest to shoot out of everything on the list. The rattle of the LCP Max was almost a deal breaker for me, but at least it was reliable as well. I just didn’t enjoy shooting it. Thanks for the list sir.
If you're gonna get a J frame, just understand that it's not necessarily a one-hole machine beyond, say, 5-7 yards. HEAVY double action trigger is smooth and safe for pocket carry, but not exactly match grade, and just try to be precise with snubby sights. It's more a "get-off-me" gun than anything so just keep that in mind. Get Hogue grips and either shoot light loads for recoil, or FBI loads to give 'em the business. Other than that, enjoy your pocket rocket-- got no real complaints with mine!
Does Mrs. Outlaw have her own channel too? I got my wife into watching gun channels and she loves watching Honest Outlaw. But she loves it when your wife shoots. Seeing you two as a team and how knowledgeable you both are has REALLY helped bringing my wife into the gun community. My wife just recently picked her own CCW as well, a 4" Walther pdp f series. She loves it and I couldn't be more proud of her.
Shield 2.0 plus goes in and out of pocket as well as Kimber K6S it replaced which and S&W 642 that it replaced. All three are excellent in front pants pocket carry.

It's about the same overall size as both the LCP Max and the new S&W Bodyguard 2.0, I have stacked all three of them together. About 1/4" shorter and a little lighter.
I’ve owned a few small pistols and settled for a Sig P238. Small, accurate, reliable and metal (and manual safety). I’m fine with 7+1

I've got a gen3 19 as my edc at the moment. But its very uncomfortable to sit with so i have to take it out when getting in the driver seat and put it back when i get out. Torn between the Bodyguard 2.0 and the p365, but leaning towards the 2.0 , to just pocket carry.
I love love love my LCP Max
The weight of it was a huge factor for me when choosing between it and P365. It's CONSIDERABLY lighter when fully loaded.
I'm really interested in comparing with the bodyguard 2.0
@@HelixMalkor I visit that site at least a few times a day. I just wish they would add more pictures of the rear view.
LCP Max for life
I have all but the Glock. I love them all, BUT... That new S&W Bodyguard 2.0 is PHENOMINAL!!!
Yes!!! I got one with the integrated Crimson Trace laser. Perfect for a summer carry when wearing light clothing! My daily carry is the Springfield Hellcat Pro during the fall and winter. Superb firearm that with the extended mag you can carry 17 + 1!
I work at a gun range/store. When we got our first Bodyguard 2.0, I couldn’t believe how much better it was than the original. 10+1 in an absolutely tiny frame. None of that double-action-only nonsense like the original Bodyguard or the LCP. The slide is so small it’s almost hard to believe it’s not a toy. I haven’t been able to shoot one yet, but S&W clearly looked at the old one, said “This is trash,” and built a gun that is 10x better than the original.
Bersa Thunder.380CC. Hammer fired with a decocker and safety. Low profile hammer and a small beaver tail. 8 round single stack mag. Tiny and thin but I can still get a grip on it. Great for deep concealment.
I enjoy Bersa Thunder. And Thunder Plus (15 rounds). Very nice. Easy to shoot
Mine came brand new from the factory, and wasn't reliable enough to make it through a single magazine without jamming almost every other shot.
Glad someone else has noticed and recognized the issues with the Ruger lcp max slide finish…
Had one right when they came out and it rusted in only a few days of carrying it in a pocket
I still rock my LCP Max with the +2 mag daily. So comfy and I shoot it well with critical defense.
Smith & Wesson M&P 340 loaded with .38 Special. Light weight. Big, visible sights. Concealed hammer means less chance of lint getting into the action. And there is a separate SkU for a version *without* the infernal lock.
Practice makes perfect - he’s right about needing to work on being able to shoot a J-frame well.
Smallest and lightest autos at about 14 oz - Kahr PM9/CM9 / PM40 / CM40. Can't get lighter or smaller unless you step down from 9mm. For weight alone - M&P 340pd at 11.8 oz. M&P Shield Performance Center in 40 S&W because it's actually lighter than the 9mm version at about 18 oz (Single Stack version).
Diamondback DB9 Gen 4 is 13.4 oz.
Having both a PM40 & a CW380 I certainly gree the later is a smaller caliber, but... It is absolutely tiny and has all the typical KAHR excellent attributes! Please also note that three of the Outlaw's choices are in 380acp as well.
Sorry, but I won't go below 9 mil or .38 for self defense. I don't want to be forced to make moving head shots. Also, in the Northeast, even when ammo availability isn't a chronic issue, even FMJ .380 is STILL usually scarce, let alone "premium" defensive HPTs. We have clear distribution issues here; for example Black Hills is always scarce as hen's teeth & we get a lot of oddball lots of foreign FMJ brands/types - almost as if we're states #41-46 in line for orders or something. If I came across a shop which had a FULL selection of PLENTY of Speer Gold Dot types including .357 AND .45s, I think I'd keel over from shock.😮
I just purchased the bodyguard 2.0 to replace my LCP Max as well and I absolutely love it! Only thing on the entire gun I don’t like is the rear sight. It’s finally the perfect pocket pistol I’ve been looking for. Shoots great and I can get a great high grip on the gun, unlike the LCP max
The Smith 442 comments are right on. My daily carry for years. I shoot it a lot and the weight makes it disappear. Great channel...
Agree. I’ve carried a 340PD for about 2decades; super light and always works.
Picking up my BG 2.0 tomorrow. This got me even more excited!
I got one last week and I love it
Have you had a chance to try a gx4? I know Taurus isn't everyone's cup of tea with their 1990s quality control reputation which I would argue has improved a ton over the last 5-10 years. My Gx4 has worked like a dream, very nice clean feeling trigger, and optic ready with 10+1 9mm.
I just bought the Smith Equalizer, while not micro per se it's a pretty nice upgrade from she shield 1.0 I had, nice video!
I am planing to gets one of those too look fantastic
Also switched to the Smith from LCP. Magazines were both defective on Smith out of the box but my gunsmith tore them down and got them working. Great gun.
Gun is only as good as its magazine 😳 I put ten rounds through one last week, it worked but slapped my trigger finger. 🤨
I carry a Mossberg MC2sc and love it. Very reliable and good capacity. I would love to see you do a review on it.
The bodyguard is a gun that is hard to comprehend until you hold it. It’s so small, so light. Yet so comfortable and shootable. I get a full grip on the flush ten round mag. And the red sight is really easy to pick up. It’s just nice. There’s definitely a place for it in my arsenal.
Just bought my wife a Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 380 and holy crap it's tiny, a true mouse/pocket pistol. My wife has small hands, and has had surgery on both wrists and then her left hand. She really likes the new Bodyguard, shoots nice and easy to operate for her.
So she can rack it no problem too?
I like how all the other channels are like, "The Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 in 380 is great if you're a woman, or an albino haemophiliac with peripheral neuropathy and arthritis, and also child hand syndrome." Enormous bear honest outlaw just praises it for its excellence.
@@emu314159yeah love him for that. Men wants nice concealable guns too
My dad got this for my mom. Nice little concealable gun.
My lady's got the same issues. 2 surgeries on both wrists. I'm probably gonna snag one of these for her but shes also got a sig 238. Little 380 1911. She can rack the slide no problem and it is pleasant to shoot. The springfield 911 is essentially the same thing too. Small differences.
I have a Kahr CT380 & a P9, both are accurate and reliable. Also have mag guts kits for both so I had 8 or 9 rounds depending on which mag is used. They are both rated for +P and the CT 380 has enough grip to hold it.
Taurus GX4. Great concealed gun.
But spotty Quality Control make it a unreliable.
@@dane1647qc issues are in almost every company now .most from taurus are good in the gx4 and g3 series
The LCP Max is in my pocket as I type this. It hasn't lost any finish yet but I keep it in a Kydex pocket holster. It's predecessor, a first gen LCP, wasn't so lucky having been pocket carried in a Remora . In the winter, when a heavy jacket makes drawing from trouser pocket or even an OWB holster harder, a S&W 642 in the jacket pocket works pretty well for all the reasons you've given. Seems like the older and grumpier I get, the lighter an EDC I carry.
My P238 is a sweetheart - accurate, reliable, imminently concealable - love that little gun for occasions when a larger concealed weapon is not realistic.
Same. I love my P238. Best thing about it is it has next to zero recoil since it weighs about 22 or 23 ounces. And the thing is accurate as all get out. That being said, I am very intrigued by the bodyguard 2.0. I hope we can have it here in California.
Been carrying a 380 Gen 1 S&W Bodyguard since they arrived. It barks it bites and works. A true pocket or tux pocket tool. I would love to see a comparison if you can actually get it in your paws.
I agree with much of this list, except for the Ruger. Everyone seems to forget the pricey 2009 release of the Kahr P380, weighing in at 9.97 oz empty and only 0.75" thich. It has the Walther Lothar performance barrel and a buttery smooth DAO trigger. It's only a 6+1 or a 7+1 but it loves +P, is highly reliable and will last forever. It is truly a deep, deep conceal. Still have mine, 15 years later. Just saying...
@barrydraper
I’m glad to hear you enjoy your Kahr. I’ve looked into them and it seems like folks either love or hate them. Personally, I’ve never shot one, so I don’t have anything to base it off of. From what I’ve heard, they are supposed to have a new lineup coming soon! Take care and thank you for your input.👍🏻
Yes, I have two Kahrs, CM9 and the CW380. Aftermarket sights and MagGuts for each, durable guns and very accurate, love the trigger.
My main carry guns are the PM9 and P380. All the new high capacity micros are great, but still bigger enough than the Kahrs that I haven't switched. I'm finally swayed by the Bodyguard 2.0.
Interesting. I pocket carry a 365 and have done so since they came out. I live in Orlando so when I have swooshy shorts on, I carry my J frame. I haven’t heard of the Bodyguard 2.0 but I shall take a look the next time I’m at my local.
Everytime I see the new Bodyguard 2.0 mentioned, it makes me want it more!
Pearce +1 extension and Mag guts adds another +1. Mine had this setup and 8+1 is much better and the little extension really helps grip.
I would like to see
P365-380 vs LCP max vs G42 vs Bodyguard 2.0. BTW I carry my LCP Custom aiwb because I also have back problems and can’t cinch my belt tighter to hold anything else in place without risking triggering a back spasm episode. Love the reviews, keep them coming!
I own the P365-380 and love it. I’m not a woman or an old guy, and this is the gun that I carry the most.
Nice review, and your #1 is on my list to get. My 3 carries are a Glock 26 when it gets cold, Sig 365 and 1st generation Bodyguard. The BG has been carried more than anything else since I got it 11 years ago.
Some folks don’t like the company but I personally like my Springfield hellcat. I pocket carry with a 13 round mag and one in the chamber, and an extra 15 rounder.
Love mine. And my Pro. Can pocket carry and even appendix it disappears.
love carrying my pro
Hellcat muzzle flip or recoil is insane it’s too snappy
@@therealgeorgegervinjr.2364 get better bro
Love mine also. Never experienced the “insane” recoil I keep hearing about. 🤷🏻♂️
I was planning on getting the lcp max later this year, but I'm leaving more toward the bodyguard now. Great reviews summaries!
Chris, one thing I appreciate about your videos is your consistent support of homeless shelters. I work with people experiencing homelessness. The other day, I was at the range, and someone told me they carry because they are “worried about all the homeless around.” I feel like the gun community has a poor understanding of homelessness and how it's more likely an unhoused person will be a victim of violence than a perpetrator. I’d be curious to hear how you got involved with the shelters and why it’s important to you.
meths a horrible thing.
Great Video Chris Thanks! Glad to see My S and W Air weight on here. 38 Special Plus P works.
Already preordered the BG 2.0 before vid and cannot wait till it gets here.
Same here. It’s due in in 2 days
I have had the p365x with the red dot as my edc for the last 2 years. It’s been through a motorcycle wreck (I was hit by another bike) and still is as reliable as the day I brought it home new. Unfortunately the x with red dot is a little to cumbersome for pocket carry and I have to have my shirt tucked at work. You just sold me on the bodyguard as my new pocket carry. I’ll be visiting my local shop tomorrow to order one!
I love my 365 xl I know not a pocket pistol but still worth it
I have the 75th Anniversary LCP Max. The slide isn't coated, so for those worried about it, find the 75th Anniversary version if that is a worry.
U need to revisit the csx from smith I got one about 6 months ago it never had the problem urs did with the false reset has become my edc
For me the 365 edges the smith out by being 9mm vs 380. Great review
03:22 "...the LCP, which is a pretty awesome and time tested gun..." this is the first time I've heard Chris comment on the LCP. I had tried searching to see if he ever reviewed it, but could not find anything. Having one myself, Chris' remark is interesting because I wonder about its long term durability. I can envision putting 500 rounds through it to establish what its reliabilty is, but then using it mostly for carry with practice occasionally with low round counts. If it does have the durability to handle several thousands of rounds, 2000 to 4000 or more, this would be good to know.
That’s where I’m at. It’s great, but long term durability is up in the air.
There are some very impressive .380 defensive loads these days. You have to be pickier than usual, of course, but the Lucky Gunner ammo chart is great for that kind of stuff. My little LC380 has some seriously hot rounds in it that will be perfectly adequate for defense.
You can buff your concealed carry pistol slides with a little microcrystalline wax like the Renaissance Wax brand. Under reasonable use you'll protect the slide surface from salts and moisture for around 3 months until it needs removed and reapplied. Great for carbon steel working knives as well!
Thanks for the tip. I replaced my LCP Max with a Bodyguard (which sucks) because it was rusting. Bought the Bodyguard 2.0 and it's awesome except for the slide bite. It would be nice to have option between the BG 2 and the LCP Max.

You can buy a Stainless steel slide 75th Anniversary Edition LCP Max as I did for $269. The matt silver slide males the black sights stand out.
@@jeffking1406 Turtle way in the spray can works also. Apply a couple coats letting cure for a little while and lasts for years depending how much you disturb it. My truck gun went over 10 years.
Id be curious how you safely remove the wax without hurting the slide finish. Thanks
I've carried my LCP II for a few years now as a backup. Shockingly no rust or problems with coating on the slide, but mags are a different story. I use a tiny bit of Break Free to coat them now. I think it's time to upgrade to the BG 2.0. Maybe a little wheelgun like that S&W on the ankle too, never can be too well protected.
8:08 Taurus always catching strays 😂😅
Since figuring out how to bag-carry my Flux Raider every day, I’ve been appendixing my S&W 340PD with .38+P Civil Defense loads on body this summer. The .357 version are twice as hot a load at 490 ft-lbs vs 250, but the recoil is manageable with such a light projectile, so I run those in a 5-round reload strip.
S&W 442 👍, S&W Bodyguard 2.0 👍👍
Let's give the Bodyguard some time to prove itself.
Also, no mags were available for months when the Shield Plus came out.
Is this a factor with the Bodyguard? I hope S & W learned from their mistake.
@@darrelldunlap7249 agree but if reliable and durable it's going to top go to for deep concealment
Yes sir!!!! Agreed!!!!!!
I'm still going to give it a minute to prove itself and I always like a few extra of each mag with different capacities.
Without a total of 3 mags of each capacity, at least, it is not useful to me.
Looks like a great gun and it's a Smith!!!!!!
I carry the SW Bodyguard .380 in my ankle holster. I just need to replace the trigger. I do hate that long pull…
My Ruger LCR with small boot handle is tiny and light
I love my 1993 Taurus m65 2.5” bbl 357 magnum. Have owned it forever and after swapping to lighter hammer & trigger springs it is amazing.
What about the 3” hellcat?
S&W 638 J-Frame with .38+P is my jam. Carried one today in fact. That is, until I got on the boat and then I lost it. Tragically.
Hey Honest Outlaw, love your work. Could you give us an updated 3000-5000 round review of the Beretta M9A4?
Really?
Hey Chris! I know you give us first shots and thousand round reviews but can you spend another grand on ammo to tell me how you like XXXXX
😳
You should consider the Kimber R7 Mako, chambered in 9 mm. It comes with either flush fit 10 round magazines, or 13 or 15 round extended magazines. Very compact, and shoots great.
You really, really need to look into the origins of AG1.
Yep! A few other channels are dropping them as sponsors. I knew it was a scam the first time I heard about it.
So disappointing to see them hawking it.

He hates those and the Security 9. I can't speak for the max-9, but I think the Security 9 is awesome.
Fits good in the pocket but it really SUX to shoot
S&W bodyguard 38 special and/ or bodyguard 380... My favorite back up guns.
Love the Hawkeye hat!
I love the 365 whenever I get a chance to shoot one but I went with the fn and really like it. I pocket carry it every day. I stepped down from a cz p01 (I prefer hammer fired) and my percentage of carry went WAY up
I carry the Taurus GX4 with holosun green dot. Super light weight, and fun to shoot. Comfiest micro pistol grip I’ve held and no malfunctions out of the box. Shot 1000+ rounds and still nothing. I carry it appendix everywhere, even at the gym with my Tulster Oath holster. I forget its there till it’s time to do abs 😂 Definitely worth a shot if you’re looking for budget/value
For my 5-shot revolver I have the Smith & Wesson M&P 340 in .357 Magnum. BUT, I just shoot .38 Special in it. It comes with quality night sights. I usually carry it in a IWB or in pocket holster. It shoots great and is very accurate. The DAO trigger really is smooth and hammer is completely internal (Centennial).
The best .380 is a P365XL lower with a P365 .380 slide and barrel, along with some 12 round .380 mags, which Sig also makes. Basically, a P365X in .380. Sig already had the Bodyguard 2.0 before S&W did.
Isn't that much larger than the BG 2.0?
In stock form the 365 380 is pretty comparable in size but the bore axis looks higher. I don't think it would be as controllable. The Bodyguard's biggest advantage is its a ground up 380 rather than a conversion. No extra dimensions left over from the original 9mm.
You clearly haven't seen a BG 2.0 in person. I own a 365 as well and they're not close in size regardless of how it's configured.
@skeeterjames912 I don't know they look pretty similar on Handgun Hero. Also I do own a Bodyguard 2.0.
@@JFon-ck6mgyes, op doesn't know what he's talking about.
I agree about your #1 gun, it will be my next gun purchase.
I picked up an ultimate carry j frame. it kicks ass.
I love my LCP Max. Good summer gun with fitted clothing, gym, shorts and more
It's impressive how these pistols manage to pack so much into such a small frame while still being reliable.
And being shootable
Because the majority of them are just 380 which is a crappy round in a self-defense scenario. I mean they have no recoil are no more than a 22. I carry a 10mm now that's a gun. I wouldn't go less than 9 mm and of course my revolvers are 357 Magnum. People need to get off of these toys when their life may be at stake😢😅
I have pocket-carried the Sig P365 since it came out, and it is a great choice. Before that, I carried the Remington RM380, which I believe is highly underrated, but I haven't carried it since I got the P365.
I want the Bodyguard 2.0 as a replacement for my LCP and found one to put in my hand Friday. I am amazed you have put this as #1 though with no thorough review or torture test. lol

Thank You Chris ........ Great Information for us aged shooters .
Sig P238?
Beretta Tomcat 3032?
Bersa Thunder?
380 max went back to Ruger twice. Now has new barrel and slide. Added a Hogue grip. Now accurate at 10 yards but trigger pinches my finger every time. Bodyguard 2.0 has been back at Smith for a month so far. Hopefully just got a lemon. I believe they send reviewers a gun that has been shot and tested and insure that it works perfectly. Would like to see a 1000 round review of the 2.0 you bought from a gun shop.
I keep going back to my P938 w/rubber grips.
I like the shield plus over the 365. Better trigger, better sights. The only caveat would be the magazines. Theyre very tight. The 10 round flush is fine but the 13 and 15 are tough to get that last round in. Itll fire fully loaded no problem, but it can be iffy. You can also get the magguts soring and follower which fixes that issue and adds 2 rounds to the mag without adding much length.
Sig P238 fires like a 22LR and has a manual safety to make sure Mr Johnson stays intact.
My wife took mine from me. I barely ever carried it. I have the 9mm version n i carry that when i dress light. Both are great shooters
Wife carries a P238 and loves it
@@Zavior-F mine messed with revolvers for a while. But that 238 is such a smooth shooter shes way more accurate with it
I have the 238, LCP Max and the Glock 42. While the 238 is easily my favorite asethically pleasing of the three, the 42 gets carried the most because it shoots so much smoother than the other two and because I prefer to carry with a Techna clip at 4-5 o clock where it just melts into your body. The other two do not carry well with clips. If I want to pocket carry that’s when the 238 shines.
Word! The P238 can not be overlooked for DEEP concealment. The ONLY thing it lacks, IMO is capacity.
Traded my Carry Max on a Bodygaurd 2.0 just this week. Put a few hundred through it, and I am genuinely amazed that something this small is that shootable.
Glock 42
Pearce plus one
Mag guts
Now it is 8+1 and is my current carry.
Thinking of the Ruger LCR in 9. No spring chick anymore and like the simplicity and not having to rack the slide
I like the concept. 9mm is like having a 38 Special where all ammo is +P. The soft swaged 158 +P hollow point still works, meets penetration in cloth barrier gel and expands to 60 caliber from a snub nose. Obsolete means we don't do it that way anymore, not that it doesn't still work. 9mm would be a little cheaper for practice ammo.

My favorite is the Sig P238. Love that micro pistol. I feel like everyone I know has an LCP though or a G42. Great vid!
Did you drop S.D.I. as a sponsor?
I just got back from walking to the corner store. I carried my S&W 638 Airweight J-frame. It’s loaded with Hornady Critical Defense +p. It’s not my EDC, but it serves its purpose for quick walks like that.
I personally like my Taurus G2C. It works well for me, and, if I want I can slip it in my pocket. It is very affordable. I really like the manual safety too.
Thank you for the side to side on the 365 and Bodyguard 2.0. Still EDC my 442 Pro
Sig Sauer p938 is what I pocket carry. Might invest in the bodyguard 2.0
I knew the Bodyguard 2.0 would be #1 and I'm so happy that it is 😂
I’ve had all the same pistols on your list. The only 2 that remain for deep concealment for me are the J frame, and the BG2.0. My main reason for trusting such a new platform? I’ve had the ability to shoot over 1000 rounds of mixed FMJ/JHP’s through the BG2.0. It has been very very very good. Easiest to shoot out of everything on the list. The rattle of the LCP Max was almost a deal breaker for me, but at least it was reliable as well. I just didn’t enjoy shooting it. Thanks for the list sir.
Been itching for a pocket pistol 😅 that Jframe is really calling my name!
If you're gonna get a J frame, just understand that it's not necessarily a one-hole machine beyond, say, 5-7 yards. HEAVY double action trigger is smooth and safe for pocket carry, but not exactly match grade, and just try to be precise with snubby sights. It's more a "get-off-me" gun than anything so just keep that in mind. Get Hogue grips and either shoot light loads for recoil, or FBI loads to give 'em the business. Other than that, enjoy your pocket rocket-- got no real complaints with mine!
@@michaelturk7237 I've owned a 340pd before and would only shoot full power 357s. It was spicy 😅

Does Mrs. Outlaw have her own channel too? I got my wife into watching gun channels and she loves watching Honest Outlaw. But she loves it when your wife shoots.
