My New CCW toy!

Special thanks to Jigging15 and stumpthumper80 for helping me look for one!!!!!! I saw this gun on the S&W website about 3 weeks ago. I have been looking for a gun with a laser on it. Well as most of you know a laser sight is a add on for all guns. And that normally runs up the price a couple of hundred dollars. Well this is the only production gun on the market today with a built in laser. And the cost is alot less than any other gun.

I started looking for one Saturday, went to bass pro and made a couple of calls. NO GUN. Got a call Sunday from a buddy at a gun show in Joplin, MO. He had found only 1 of them and the guy would hold it for me for a couple of hours. He wanted $450.00. Well thats about $50.00 over listed retail on the S&W site. I said no I have priced them for $350.00 at Bass Pro.

Well after the help of Jigging15 and stumpthumper80 I found out today that this gun was going to be hard to find. So I called Smith & Wesson! Rep said I am sorry sir last week we were 16,000 in orders behind on this gun. Let me check today for you, sorry we are now 20,000 orders behind as of 2 pm today. I started calling everyone, even every Bass Pro in the state. No gun to be found. Had a gun dealer call me back at 3 pm that I have done alot of business with he has found one and it will be there Friday.

Most of you know I am a CCW nut! Here it is!

Smith & Wesson BodyGuard 380 Auto with built in laser.

Product: BODYGUARD® 380

I've never owned many pistols...and all the ones that I have owned are .22's. Glad you found the one youre after.;):p

I have a few of each! I have my best luck with a Remington 742, 30-06 but it just won't work mounted on my belt around my wast. And it's hard to hide! LOL!! I wanted the laser because I can't hit anything normally with a pistol. Always been a rifle man!

Sweet!

Yes sir! I have always been a 9mm or 357 guy myself. I do have a little keltec 32. I don't know nothing about a 380. What I was told was that a 380 is nothing but a little 9mm. I have been told that if you buy the cheap ammo that a 380 tends to jam. But if you purchase the good stuff you won't have any problems with one. I was told they were a great 7 to 10 yard gun. I never purchase cheap ammo anyway because I take this CCW stuff serious. It may be my life on the line. With all the unemployement out there and stuff getting so over priced this enconomy is going to make good honest hard working people crooks.

As most of you know I work retail sales, and I carry a gun 24/7 with my CCW done it now everyday for almost 7 years. Like most people who have a set of keys by the front door I have them plus a gun. I leave the house, I grab the keys and also a gun. I don't walk outside to get the mail without a gun. Well I have always felt sorry for cops because those big guns are great to shoot, but they get really heavy after a 18 hour day. When I started out with this CCW I started out with one of those cop guns. I have been trying to find the right gun combo now for over 7 years! I have all the CCW gear, I am not bragging here, I have spend alot of money on all sorts of holsters. I can conceal just about any type of handgun, wearing anything from a pair of jogging shorts to high dollar suit and tie. I even have purchased, things that under cover cops use. All of the stuff I have purchased has been above board, some from stores and some online.

So the next time you out shopping take a look around you. Does that man walking up towards you in that dark parking lot have a gun on him? Does that person in the grocery store line behind me have a gun on him? If its me, yes I do 24/7.

Most of you know that my wife has been in retail sales all of her life. When I started getting into CCW stuff wife thought that I was nuts. I showed her how I could get online and buy the stuff without any background checks or nothing. I told her that if I could get it the crooks already had it! She made a big fuss about me being too nuts. Well I am here today to tell you. Wife works at a Dillions grocery store here in Springfield, MO she has been trained in product thef. About a year or so she was working checkout. This guy comes thru her checkout line with a fanny pack on. Just a normal looking fanny pack to most people have on every day. About 9 out of 10 people wouldn't have noticed the little difference in them. Wife asks the guy as he is paying for his groceries, so ah what you packing? The guy said I am not packing nothing. She told him that she bet it was a 9 mm. Finally the guy said yes its a 9mm. He has been a regular customer for years. He asked her just how did you know I had a gun on me. She told him my husband taught me all about CCW and we have about 4 of those fanny packs at home fact is I carry a 9mm Glock in mine. Now this guy comes into the store each week and always checks out with the wife. He prints off new CCW info on the computer and brings it in to her. And they always talk guns and ammo in the grocery line!

I personally know of ladies who dress almost like Hooters girls in the summer. And a couple of them pack 9 mm glocks with them at all times. And you can't tell it even with those tight shorts and tank tops that they wear.

TIME TO WAKE UP AMERICA! That person next to you may have a gun on them!

Yeah I haven't even had one in my hands yet. I just got back from getting some shells for it. WOW, they are nasty. The guy said it was the best, Corbon 380 Auto, 90gr JHP, Velocity 1050fps Energy 220ft/lbs. Hope its shoots as good as the shells look.
