Any more updates on this pistol? Reliability? Round count?
What did you decide for ammo? Thanks.

No functional issues, I only have around 500 rounds through it, carry it regularly and prefer it over my bigger guns now.

I don’t shoot it like my optic equipped shield plus but man is it light and nice to carry. Can conceal this thing easy in shorts and a t shirt.

Federal hydrashok deep is what I am using for carry.

My only complaint would be that the mag release is a little proud.

Awesome little pistol. I’ll have another eventually.

Thank you. I’m contemplating this instead of my 365.
I handled one at the LGS and it really worked well for the size of my hands.
And weighed nothing. Which I think would get me carrying all the time instead of when convenient. Appreciate your help.

I have both the Sig P365 and the Bodyguard in 380. I prefer the bodyguard. Usually in a pocket holster.

That’s exactly why I end up reaching for it every time now. It’s just more comfortable to carry than my shield plus.

Shield plus I can always tell is there, the bodyguard 2.0 I don’t even feel barely.

Sort if feels like a smaller shield plus or compact handgun than it does a pocket pistol.

I can’t say I shoot it incredibly well, definitely not like a pistol with an optic, but well enough.

I’d prefer something that is optics ready myself. But considering the possible use for this pistol, it’s definitely not a deal breaker for me.

Got a holster and some hydra shok deep.

Feed and function is fine with the hydra shin deep. Holster is comically small. Gun is extremely comfortable to carry and shoot.

I still shoot a pistol with an optic, even a very short one with an optic much better but my dot equipped shield plus is significantly bigger and heavier, and can be hard to conceal in summer cloths at times. This is a nice option to have, like wearing nothing, and a shooting experience like a much bigger gun.

Are you liking the Tulster holster? Just bought a less expensive one but almost pulled the trigger on the Tulster. Seems like there are mixed reviews for every holster for the 2.0 but at the same time I can't see it mattering too much with such a small gun.

Also, I planned on carrying XTPs like I did with my other 380 due to positive testing with 380 but may have to try the hydra Shok deeps. Haven't heard as much about them.

Considering one of these to carry while running. I have gotten into the habit of not carrying while running.

Not to change the OP’s thread, but the ultimate running/deep concealment pistol is the Glock 42 with good sights and a Fabriclip AWB holster.

They are capable of being ran like a full size pistol.
