Cute lil devil....I've been eyeing a S&W 380 with lil laser on it....Bodyguard? can't remember....but I've hated every 380 I ever owned....and sold em usually in a couple days....



lil piss ant cartridges.... Razz

I prefer a hammerless 38...just a lil bigger and lots more thump...ALWAYS goes bang....no matter what

Let us know how it goes

I believe you'll like it. That is, if you can get comfortable with the trigger. You'll probably find you'll need to adjust your normal grip a little to handle that long pull, however I do believe these are the nicest shooting of all the polymer .380s. I've had 2 of them and both were nice little guns that always went bang when you pulled the trigger. Cleanup takes about 5 minutes and they carry like nothing at all. In a pocket, you forget they're there. Kind of a little hidden gem that's cheap and reliable. Definitely one of Tauruses better offerings.Smile

I needed to alter the sights on both of mine, since they were nearly nonexistent. Three little dots of white fingernail polish helped emensely, though, and the little gun is fairly accurate at self defense distances.

Have one in my my pocket most every day. I've been very happy with it. Ain't no target pistol, but it goes bang when you want it to.

Don't forget a good holster...a must.

90 grain .380 at 1,000 fps makes about 200 pounds of energy according to Hornady and the 125 grain .38 at 1,100 fps is around 240.

If you’re interested check out http://www.msgunowners.com/t5417-my-new-mousegun.

I ramble on and on and, well you get the idea, for 6 pages on my Taurus TCP.

Am pleased with it and, in my humble opinion, is the best of the mouseguns in its price range.

Nice!!! thumbs up Good luck with it. The only small .380 I've shot is my Keltec P3AT. Bought it right after Katrina and have shot several hundred rounds through it. Never had a single malfunction.
