Ruger LCP .380 or Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .380

I am not a laser fan i like to carry in my pocket so i think it is just extra bulk. Not like i am in for long range or precision shot. If i cant hit with my sights or point shooting then i need to go to the range more

If I may pose an additional question...

Do you LCP advocates feel the laser is an essential or worthwhile option? Or is it just extra bulk?

My feeling is: the laser it not necessary for the intended purpose of this weapon, which is a concealable carry for protection gun, if we have to use this weapon (hopefully we won't) it will be quick, at close range, and the extra step to turn the laser on will not be easy. I totally agree with that we need to practice so we can draw and hit what we need to. All of that being said: the laser is not that expensive, and removes from the gun easily, so it may be worth getting with the gun.

Good points... Thanks.

I'll put it this way: for the extra $60 at the time I wish I had bought the laser.it would have opened more opportunities and a lot more fun shooting.

LCP if it's between just those two... I've been witness to a S&W BG380 having 2 major failures... The gun was not mine but belonged to a good friend and I was at the range with him for both of the fails.. Broken firing pin (first failure) and a jammed slide (2nd failure)... S&W bought the gun back at full purchase price +tax... He bought a Kahr CM9 as the replacement... What a fantastic gun... I may have to get one for summer carry...
