Think they're trying to unload em but their CZ deal fell through. |
Death to quislings.

Never ask a man if he is from Virginia. If he is, he'll tell you. If he isn't, you don't want to embarrass him.

Gearing up to replace my j-frame, and my P32 with the new bodyguard 2.0.. just seems too good to be true. Anyone else looking forward to getting one. Video on youtube shows it as thin as a p32, and the same length with the p32 extended mag. |

I have been a pocket J-frame* (or equivalent) guy since 1995. I started with a nickel 442 loaded with the 125 grain Federal Nyclad HP. My current pocket guns are a 442-1 and/or a LCR in either .38 Special or 9mm. I am mostly a small revolver guy. When I go somewhere unknown risk I will carry a G48 or 49 with an optic. For my regular day to day off-duty it is usually 2 small revolvers. Right now that is either 2 9mm LCRs or the LCR 38 and 442-1. I have a 332 also. When I get one of the 432UCs those two will likely get carried from time to time also. Attached File Attached File Attached File |

ETA: Tried the Crimson Trace laser grip, too. Couldn't warm up to it and the grip is in the box o' stuff now. |

It feels like a .38 Special with range ammo, it is heavier than the .38 LCR so recoil is pretty similar despite the 9mm having more energy. With my carry ammo it feels similar to a .38 Special +P. I carry the 147 Grain Gold Dot G2 in it because that is my duty load. On the other hand, the 124 grain +P Gold Dot is pretty close to feeling like .357 Magnum ammo out of a .357 LCR. Overall, I find the 9mm LCR to be very shootable. It falls nicely between a .38 Special and a .357. The only thing I don't like about it, there is no really good way to carry spare moon clips. So, I carry two guns, hope I never need to reload, and have a speed strip of 9mm rounds just in case. It will fire loose rounds fine, it is just extracting them that is an issue. 147 Grain Gold Dot G2 into clear ballistics gel (no denim or other barrier, I'd like to retest it with denim). Penetrated about 14.5" and expanded as seen here. Attached File |

Reloads were from my 26 or SUB2000 mag, so I only got one reload w/o a pencil. Thought of swapping to the Charter, but the odds of me needing to reload my BUG in a gunfight twice are btwn slim & none. |
