| I have an LCP Max and it's pretty good for its role, but a lot of these reviews are reporting that the BG2.0 noticeably easier to shoot. Both in terms of felt recoil, and because the grip gives you a bit more to hold on to. I'm at least going to try to rent one and see what I think. |

Damn arfcom costing me $. One on the way. Called a handful of local places trying to get one, well, locally. Either nope with no idea on arrival, or I don’t know what that is answers. I was just about to snag one of the stainless lcp max, but looks like this one will be a winner |

It looks 20% bigger too though which is a negative. The old grip with flat bottom magazine is small. Wish they kept original size dimensions beside thickness to accommodate more rounds |

Zero interest in that. I don’t even carry full size guns with lights and RDS OWB. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until G-Code, Tenicor and others start dropping high quality IWB holsters for them. |

With a known holster maker for a common firearm you can at least recoup half of your money back if you don’t like it. I’ve also had a lot more holsters from the no name company’s that I’ve disliked than the others. There’s basically 3 kydex holster companies I buy from at this point, and none of them are making holsters for it yet. |

I handled one today at the local when I was picking up a transfer. Oh yea, I'll be buying when they get a few more in. My only 380 right now is a G42, and I love it, but for the past few years I have been looking at the Max but could never commit. This is a for sure for me. Felt outstanding even though it was so small. I'm not a big guy and the G42 it at the absolute edge of what I can pocket carry. This will fit that bill nicely. If Alabama Holsters ever lists it I'll probably get a pocket holster from them. As far as IWB kydex holsters I am a huge fan of Muddy River Tactical. Much prefer them to the Vedder's I own (when it comes to leather I'm a Ryan Grizzle guy). |

They've been around for years and are well regarded. (ETA: See the post above this one) I have holsters from them for probably 10 different guns, they have all been great. Their basic buffalo hide IWB is one of the most comfortable holsters I've found (and I have piles of holsters that haven't made the cut). |

Local shop had one yesterday so I grabbed it. Bottom line, it is the exact same size as the LCP Max, except it is a smidge longer, but the hight and thickness is the same. The grip you can get on the Bodyguard 2.0 is lightyears better than what you can get on the LCP Max. The undercut trigger guard means I can get all three fingers of my main hand on the actual grip. With the Max, my pinky hangs. Just holding them in the hand you can tell immediately that it will shoot better than the Max and it is much easier to draw. Also, the slide locks back on an empty mag where my Max does not. My holster from Muddy was ordered last night. I absolutely think it's worth ditching the Max for the 2.0. |

Ordered one through PSA yesterday. No spare magazines are available anywhere for sale yet. I know it ships with two, but I am a six mags per gun kind of guy. edit to add: Just picked up my new Bodyguard 2.0. Am very impressed with how it feels in the hand. Smith and Wesson looks to have produced a superior gun. |

I can’t drop a magazine and clear the pistol, I have to keep the mag inserted and cycle the rounds out one by one. |
