Have about 150+ rounds through my new little S&W Bodyguard 380
I like it. For a small pocket gun it is fairly easy to control and get right back on target for follow ups. Compared to my son's Kel-Tec compact 9, I'll take the S&W any day.
Even though it is equipped with a "built in" laser, I found the sights to be very accurate. Almost easier then using the laser.
As a side note, my son found an issue with the Kel. He had the grip extension on the mag and the downward force created by the small grip and the fingers wrapped around it, and the action of the slide was causing the mag to release. Not drop, just release enough to not chamber the next round.
In Jersey we can "own" hollow points, but can't carry them or use them (even in your own home) So, for the home defense purpose I will be using one of the defense rounds, basically a hollow point with a polymer ball seated in the nose.
#1 son told me his department testing has shown the smaller rounds with the poly tipped hollows are actually better then true hollow points, as they don't clog with heavy clothing.
