Sig P238 VS S&W Bodyguard 380

[blamecharles]

Do any of you have experience/comments/complaints with these two? Preferably females, as this is research for GF's first gun. She is liking the P238 but has not held the BG380. THANKS in advance.

My wife owns a P238 and has held/dry-fired a S&W Bodyguard. In her own words, she said that she preferred the more substantial feel of the P238, the sights were better on the P238 and that the trigger was much nicer than the Bodyguard. For her, the laser was nice, but was something that she could always add to the P238 if she ever needed it.

My wife's daily carry:

Oh... She also says that her P238 is MUCH better looking.

I have never shot the BG380, i've only looked at it and held it. i have a Sig P238 for my EDC. For me, the Sig just felt better and more solid...it just felt right. I don't much care for the looks of the BG380. Maybe the .38 though!
For me, it was Sig P238, since the day i first held one.

Thank you for your replies. She seemed to really like the p238 right away as well so that pretty much means that is hers then.

I've shot both of the guns in question, though I do not own either. The P238 was MUCH more comfortable and easy to shoot quickly and accurately than the Bodyguard. If you don't mind a single-action, the SIG is well worth the extra

If you must have a DAO, I suggest going with the Kahr P380 instead.
