    I love this little gun!!❤ I'm so glad you did this review, AND I'm so glad that JJ also shot it. I've been very curious about the recoil. Thanks so much for the shout-out, and thanks for sharing!

      Thank you Robert! I’m glad you stopped by the channel and enjoyed the video. The more we shoot this little thing, the more we like it. Stay warm in the CHI this winter. We are enjoying a nice 83 degree Texas December day here.

    New sub, just found your channel. Excellent review. Your laughing, upbeat delivery made it feel like you were talking to me one on one and telling about your new pistol instead of a stoic, point by point review like most reviewers do.

      First, I'd like to thank you for watching and for subscribing to our channel. Second, Thank you for taking time comment. This is probably my favorite comment received. You may not be able to see it, but I am extremely uncomfortable in front of the camera and I feel very awkward filming myself. The way I have overcome it, is to talk directly to you. I pretend that the camera is a friend, one of my kids or family member and I begin. With so many different styles, video creators and being very new to this, It's hard to know if people enjoy what you are putting out there. I'm trying to be myself and bring people into my world. If we can have little fun and learn something along the way, it's a bonus. I can't express how fueled up your comment has me feeling. Thank you once again.

      Whoop! Thank you for the sub! You can’t go wrong with the BG2.0. The more we shoot it the more we enjoy it. I will say the magazine springs are very tight and will test your thumb strength to get those last few rounds in. If you get a IWB holster get one that covers the magazine release button. It’s very abrasive and will irritate your skin if not covered. Once you get yours, come back and let us know your thoughts. Helotes is a beautiful area and growing super fast. Stay safe and Gig’em

      @LivinLifeontheR5  2 месяца назад

      You aren't joking about how expensive ammo is! Especially 380 ammo. We now have around 500 rounds in ours and it's breaking in nicely. Slide is still alittle stiff but still an awesome little gun with a big gun fill.

    I got a P365 x macro, Remington RM380 (super small d/a trigger) and a Kimber micro .380. Just got this Bodyguard and its been my carry gun 100% of the time. Only issue i have is when IWB, it tends to flip over forward since its so short. I also got the safety version and have been practicing that as I also shoot a 2011 for competition. Great firearm!

    • @LivinLifeontheR5
      @LivinLifeontheR5  Месяц назад +1

      Sounds like you've got a great set of firearms. I agree with you about it being a great firearm. We carry our BG 2.0 in a Phlster Enigma set up. I'll make a video and post really soon showing how versatile and concealable it is. Holds any of our firearms from BG 2.0 to Staccato XC in the perfect position and it's independent of your clothing. You can wearing anything and still conceal with confidence.

      @LivinLifeontheR5  Месяц назад +2

      It does with different brands / model holsters. Their website has a ton of information and videos to help you decide if it’s for you. I”ve been wearing it daily for about 2 years and have had 0 issues. Highly recommend it. I do have a few different set ups for light bearing holsters and non. I’ll show everything I can think of in the video for you.

    If you are going to hold this gun with both hands when shooting, and are concerned about the digits of your offhand being too close to the muzzle, may I suggest using your offhand to hold your shooting wrist firm, instead of holding the gun?

      Yes you can. We ran it and the gun operated perfectly. The manual doesn’t recommend it but it doesn’t prohibit it. So use at your own risk. They do make some nice defense rounds that are not +p that may be a good alternative.
