Pocket Rockets!

I take a look at a half-dozen pocket 380s under $450.

Of those, exactly one is MA compliant - and that's the one made by the MA gun manufacturer... Fortunately, it's the one that I consider the best - the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380. I've seen the BG 380 for sale in MA gun stores for well under $400, which for a pocket 380 with an integral laser is a steal. Even the P3AT, the lowest price 380 in the group, can't touch that price once the Crimson Trace laser is added.

And, note to Smith & Wesson, I'm available for product testing should you desire a local gunblogger's opinion...

That is all.

To bad the Kahr .380 is a bit more expensive.

I like the Bodyguard and it would be interesting to see a comparison between the small revolvers specifically the S and W Bodyguard 38 and 380 along with the Ruger LCP and LCR.
Nice job!!

FYI... If you Google "pocket rocket", some of the results are NSFW.

Dude, you need a proofreader before you submit articles you can't edit (I see a couple of missing spaces right off the bat), otherwise good stuff as always.

That's not me, BTW. That's editing for space considerations - notice that the text all fits neatly next to the picture.

Artistic license is beyond my control. I just write copy.

The Taurus is made in the USA. ;)

Yes, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. I looked high and low for evidence that it was made in the US, but didn't find any, so I assumed...

Hooray for the Bodyguard! :)

XS Sights is showing a set of big dot sights in their 2011 catalog for the Bodyguard .380... I see one of these pistols with the sights in my future. The best part is that I live not far (at least by Texas standards) from XS Sights!
