Of the three, which one in your opinion, had the smoothest slide and the easiest to rack slide?
@@RichB804 without a doubt the Ruger Security. Very easy to rack and get a good grip on the slide
The Ruger Lcp max was the king now the s&w bodyguard 2.0 is the king.
Excellent comparison.👊
The Bodyguard 2.0 is my only 380 and I got it specifically to have a pocket pistol. The Sig & Ruger are not really what I would consider a "pocket pistols." They are bigger, size wise they are closer to a micro 9 than a pocket pistol. But I have never shot either of them, I've only held them at the tool store. 👍
Not many comparisons to p365 in 380 out yet, but this was best/most helpful so far.
At 71 yrs of age, the 380 is the choice for me.
Beretta has a fine model.
29-year LEO. Bought one for my back-up and off-duty carry. Don't believe the detractors on .380, I've seen plenty of people killed by them, and I don't mean mag dumps. At under 10yrds, where 90%+ shootings occur, it's as effective as 9mm. Doesn't have the velocity or make the wound channel, but gets the job done. I am completely confident carrying 23rds of .380 at Winn Dixie.
Ruger Security 380 is great shooting as you mentioned... if it works. And in my experience it is poor: uneven feeding ramp, light magazine and recoil springs leading to FTF issues every 4 rds.
I'm 5'10 220lbs and I love these 380acps ...
I've got a ruger security 380 and trust it with my life ❤
I have the security 380 as well & it's my edc with speer gold dots but I'll carry a 9mm on occasion
That hat is 🔥
Keep doing great work my friend.
I have the BG2.0 and love it. I have 9mm’s and they are great, but to pocket conceal there isn’t anything better for me than the BG2.0
I am getting tired of Sig, overpriced and continue to nickel/dime us consumers
THE Glock 42 is probably the best .380 ive ever shot
I say the best for its accuracy, ergonomics, and concealability
Great video
@@SafesandGuns 6 rounds standard just doesn’t cut it nowadays
@@DadHut That seems to be the Gen Z thoughts but as an avid shooter all I need is three shots
I have other guns if Im going to war 🙂
I had the glock 42 but didn’t like the way it pinched my finger. Got the sig 365 380. Love it. Reviewer is fair. I had only 2 issues in the first 100 rounds. 1 stove pipe and 1 Failure to lock back. Other than that nothing. Well a couple lite primers strikes but I blame the ammo cause all of them were with armscor which I don’t use any more.
@@kimjohnson8916armscor is 💩 ammo,I've always had problems with that brand
@@SafesandGunsif you practice at all 3 should be sufficient. Even if you don’t, 6 should be plenty for any citizen issue.
The BG 2.0 wouldn't recoil as much if you had a proper grip..that tea cup grip causes a fulcrum. 🤦🏻♂️
Sig P365-380 for me. Mine has a Hogue grip on it which helps my larger hands and absorbs some recoil. Have almost 2,000 rounds through it, but only needed 100-200 to break it in. Flawless ever since with red dot or iron sights. Sweet shooter!
Well if I was going to choose one of the best , it would be the Smith and Wesson bodyguard 2.0.
Hands down the sig 380. I had the 365xl and after trying the lcp max and 42 and the sig .380. The sig was the much better shooting tool with less recoil and faster follow up shots. It’s like the three little bears store it just fits right and feels right.
I agree! 😊
Thank you for the review...been looking at the Ruger for a while...Just want something my wife will be comfortable with...we are both getting up in age. My mistake was getting her a S&W M&P 9 shield plus for her first gun. Its my EDC I love it but, bad choice for her. Will try to get her comfortable with the Ruger at the range then....figure out a EDC for her (if she will) Later. Looking forward to more content.
For comfort and concealment and ease of draw, there has never been a better option than the classic Colt Model M, version of 1908. It is also the most ergonomic compact handgun ever made, say many users and collectors, being a good fit for most hand sizes. All others are simply variations on a theme.
That said, there are many good guns out today, the best is probably the S&W Bodyguard II for over-all attributes. At its weight, the recoil is very low. Not at all snappy unless using hotter ammo. It has a low bore axis, and points instinctively - something very important in a gun designed for 3 to 25 FEET defense reanges. All this talk of 20 to 30 YARDS is non-sense, and only for the plinkers - not the fighters. If you want to plink for bragging rights, use a S&W Model 17 with an 8-3/8" barrel. The little snubbies are for personal defense, and will serve well in that capacity if you do your part.
Bodyguard 2.0. Its my pocket carry backup to my g19 or my jogging gun.
You're wrong about the price of the security 380 I have seen both Cabela's and Bass Pro recently with them priced at $270 and the regular price right now appears to be 299
I own 3 , 380 ACP pistols
Ruger LCP
Ruger LCP MAX
Ruger Security 380
Would not own a polymer SIG
S&W Body guard is new
Honestly my neighbors
SCCY CPX 3 is actually a dang good pistol
He carries it everyday
Sccy have a seriously bad reputation
Glock 42 is nice. With Pearce +1 extension and MagGuts you get 8+1 capacity.
Put hands on the bodyguard 2.0 and you'll be surprised the difference. I have size 8 hands and can get a full grip on the bodyguard with no magazine. My 42 the pinky finger is hanging off.
Bodyguard is lighter and has more capacity.
I hate the LCP Max. Mine just broke yesterday after 75 rounds.
I would love to see the Beretta 80X Cheetah on this list too. Great gun to shoot.
P365 .380 all the way! For the last three months this is been my EDC and my go to… It’s very underrated and overlooked!
I've got a P365 in 9, but my EDC is the Shield Plus. I don't like the way the Sig carries. I'm now waiting for the BG 2.0 to become available in my State. We have a handgun roster so until the State approves it, it's a no sale item. As I get older, I'm getting fatter... Smaller guns are just easier for me to carry because I don't have to buy new pants. LOL.
I love, love, love my P365 380!!😍 (but have yet to try the BG 2.0 so we'll see 😉).
I put my p365 .380 in a Wilson Combat grip module, added an Mcarbo flat trigger, an extended mag release, I use the 12 round 9mm magazines with the MagGuts 14 round extension kits for 15 rounds total. Not one misfire from day one. We're at a couple thousand rounds at this point of just about every type of .380 ammo out there. Yes, all in, I've spent close to 1K on it but I never leave the house without it. My p365 XL 9mm (similarly configured) stays home. Tried the Ruger and the new bodyguard. They both have their applications and if price is your driver the Ruger is a great buy. I had an LCP2 and got rid of it, so tempted by the bodyguard, there are summer days when it's size is just hard to argue about.
Great vid you earned my sub. My thoughts exactly as well on behalf of the guns. P365 is the perfect middle ground and I'd like to add shoots like a cap gun the trigger is so good. lol Its the perfect all around pistol in this group. I do recommend that 12 round mag. The Sig shoots so fast with that amazing trigger your gonna need the extra storage at the range. Took mine about 200 rounds and racking the sheet out of the slide and it shoots 100% flawless eating everything. .
I agree! 😊
I own the S&W EZ, but in 9mm. Like you, I found a dislike for the grip safety. If your grip isn't perfect, you could find yourself not depressing the safety correctly and the gun won't go BANG. I solved this problem by slipping a rubber grip sleeve over the grip. It adds just enough so that the safety gets depressed every time.
@@jdw174 good idea
I love my 365/380 but I also carry three different 365 9mm setups
@@jonn8163 4 different t p365’s??? Love it
Thanks for the fine, informative video. I appreciate the info on each pistol and the comparisons (e.g., break-in, recoil, carry vs home).
Great video. Thank you. I like table top & live shooting reviews. Tis gives us a good list to start more research. Take care. God bless.
The bodyguard is good but the S&W EZ is better i have one of each and the EZ is much better and EZ to shoot !!!!
❤ nice one. Just out freakish and curiosity how much does each slide weight?
I sold my ruger lcp, lcp 2, and g2c to get the bodyguard 2.0
I used to own the Ruger security 380. The thing I never liked about it. Was the chambering on the barrel?
How does the Walther PD380 compare to the others? Thank you
It had failures to feed on the first 50.rounds.
The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 is THE BEST designed and manufactured micro-subcompact 380 in the last 40 plus years. I have the Sig 365 9mm, Sig 238, Ruger LCP Max, Regular LCP, et. I own many. Ruger should just stop manufacturing the LCP Max all together. The sig 365 (9mm) is the best micr 9mm, but the S&W Bodyguard 2.0 is half the weigh, thinner, over all smaller and easier to shoot that the Sig 365. You can keep the Sig. This new Bodyguard 2.0 beats ALL THE OTHERS in EVERY CATEGORY! Bar none! All of these smallpistol require a small amount of break in INCLUDING the Sigs. I have 400 plus rounds through mine. About 4 mags loosened mine up perfectly. It even shoots the "Seargeant Major" zinc plated steel case (tula) ammo like candy! I never feel outgunned or under gunned with this new Bodyguard 2.0 i I use it as a primary carry and rotate it out for my Ruger LCR revolver. S&W gave they're customers what they have been asking for. On a side note, it puts the Glock 42 in the dirt on size and capacity. The 380 cartridge is plenty to stop an attacker in my opinion. You don't need fancy pants ammo either 95 grain hard ball anything does the job just fine. I want to poke holes in important body parts. I don't care about expansion. Don't fall for all the BS of dudes on you tube that are fully kitted out telling you a 380 isn't something to worry about. S&W gets an 11 out of 10 from me.
You’re correct!! However, in my opinion, the Taurus GX4 is the best micro 9. I have them all, it has a superior trigger out of the box
@@timburton9514 na. Gx4 has heavier trigger, full of issues, and not as concealable as p365.
How many videos have you copied & pasted this comment? Every single Bodyguard 2.0 video I've seen I see your same comment
@@TADDs101 SMILE
Ruger sells a shit load of lcp maxes
I’m planning to pick up a second .380. I use a .380 for walks and deep conceal. Curious why you omitted the Glock 42? Leaning towards the Bodyguard or Sig.
@@crabbyturtle1594 6 rounds standard. Just not enough rounds in my opinion
@@DadHut so true. Always gotta bring a spare mag with that one.
@@crabbyturtle1594 I watch a lot (too many) videos of actual incidents on RUclips. Very very few where more than 4-5 rounds are fired and some of them are misses. The ones with more are often store owners or security guards.
Need Sig to release a P365 Fuse in .380 so we can possibly have 22-25 flush fit mags. My grandma had a stroke and while her hand strength is still decent, she’s having trouble handling 9mm recoil. It would be nice to have a fuller size pistol in .380. We recently got my grandma the newer and redesigned Beretta Cheetah, but having a slightly larger pistol that’s has more polymer and is striker fired would be ideal for my grandma as her range and home defense pistol (she can’t operate a shotgun anymore).
@@JacksonWalter735 you can always take the slide off the sig 380 and put it on the 365xl grip module. That will make the grip longer and add the 12 round mag. Still way short of the 22-25 rounds your looking for though
Personally, for me, the BG2.0. While the Ruger would probably be my second choice. Personally never been a fan of the P365 line, but I do respect what that pistol did for the gun market. I second your opinion about the S&W EZ. Grip safeties are odd on anything other than a 1911. Does your Ruger rattle real bad when you shake it? The Security 380 I had rattled horribly, just like the LCP Max I let go.
@@davidbrown2284 my LCP Max rattles a lot. My security 380 has none
Sig p238. Still.
@@jlinka79 I love the p238, made a video about it a few years ago. Only is is capacity
@@DadHut 7+1 with a spare is plenty.

What's The Best 380 ACP Handgun??? S&W Bodyguard 2.0 VS Sig P365 380 VS Ruger Security Lite Rack 380
If I was to get a .380ACP none of those. Bersa Thunder or Thunder Plus.
Baby Rock 😁
The Ruger security 380 should not even be in this comparison.They should have put in the Lcp max 380
I own the Shield EZ, the original tiny bodyguard & the Sig P365. The EZ was a no-go due to the grip safety, the old bodyguard is super tiny but awful to shoot. I adore my P365, shoots like a dream but a little heavy & harder to conceal on my tiny frame. I may just have to try the BG 2.0, thanks for your awesome review!! 💯👍😗
Have you tried the Bersa Thunder, or the Bersa Thunder Plus?
G42
@@ryanranard5187 6 rounds standard just ain’t enough
@@DadHutHow is 6 rounds not enough? The average number of rounds fired in a self defense situation is 3 rounds. Plus you can get mag extensions that hold more rounds.
The ez would be ok if it didnt have that horrible grip safety. If they wanted a grip safety they could've done it better. Id like the security if it wasnt internal hammer fired and i hate rugers fininish. Rugers blued models are horrible in humid climates. Even taking care of and cleaning they rust easier than any of these
excellent cap collection!..and great content, thanks!
One thing that bothers me is the Bodyguard 2.0 has this double ramp to the barrel which adds another snag point for ammo. Concerned about defense rounds (hornady critical defense) getting caught up when needed most.
If you are the slightest bit handy...you can polish the feed ramps lightly and it'll feed anything
Great content!!
The recoil spring on my Sig P365 380 failed after about 700 rounds. I no longer trust it.
I've got the Security 380.. Shoots well, but mine likes to fail multiple times on every mag. Fails to feed, stove pipes, and sometime it doesn't completely go into battery. When I originally got it, when it failed it was either F2F or stove piping. After about 100 rounds, the stove piping stopped, but I still get some F2F, but it not going completely into battery replaced the stove pipe. I guess I just need to keep pushing more ammo through it to get it broken in.
My wife's had the same issue, it happens mostly with Fiocchi ammo or when over loading the magazine. It's much better now definitely since I stopped using Fiocchi and switched to Winchester, it has only had problems with Fiocchi.
Thank you for taking the time to do these reviews.
I have a safety suggestion-when you show the gun on the range, you could practice holding it in your left hand when you show the gun.
It’s good you are getting a clear view of the gun, and I know you know it’s unloaded… but many of the people watching your videos don’t know the process you have. It would be great if you didn’t demonstrate pointing the gun behind the range.
👍
I was thinking about the lcp max as my conceal carry but wanted to try the original Bodyguard. Is it worth it?
@@jerrymitchell1343 no, it’s terrible. The trigger is probably the worst I’ve ever shot
@@DadHut so just get the Max?
@@jerrymitchell1343 nope, get the bodyguard 2.0
@DadHut ok I appreciate the help
Yeah, ignore the market leader, clearly nobody ever chooses it. It's absence makes the rest of the video bogus. True it may be dethroned but it can't be ignored.
Why carry an underpowered .380 when you can carry a Sig 365 or Walther PPS in .9mm? Makes no sense to choose the .380.
