I will let you shoot my p-01 w/ cgw kit and supply a box or two of 9mm. I really want to see if I like it before I either shell out 1k for ppt. I have dwarfism standing at 4 feet and a few inches. I want to see if the bg 2.0 is something I want too add to collection.
 
I have no insider knowledge, but I think S&W will be adding the bodyguard 2.0 this year sometime.

I'm in the same boat, wanting to hold and shoot one. I have been pondering shelling out the $1k for off roster.
 
I'm impatient and purchased 2 of them (1 carry comp and one standard) for a little over 1k each without ever having held or shot one.

I think they're fantastic little guns, and don't regret buying them, but a problem I have with them that I've never had with any other gun is the beavertail rubbing the absolute crap out of my hand. I can lower my grip to prevent that from happening, but then the stock 10-round mags without an extension leave my pinky hanging off, and I very much prefer having a full grip.
 
Bodyguard 2.0 is a great pocket pistol. Fits in my hand like a glove. No issues, no FTEs. Best double stack 380 acp micro compact pistol. Buy the pistol if you ever get a chance. You could always sell it if you dont like it.
 
Personally the 42 by glock is alot better but till i casn update my ccw im carrying the bg2.0 its a good gun but the groups arnt super tight as a 42. The barrel is also very thin so it warms up and accuracy goes right out the window
 
Have you tried the lcp max ? Great little gun & i highly recommend it , just throwing other options out there that are not $1000 options
 
The reviews for the BG 2.0 are phenomenal, which means you could easily sell the gun if you buy it and don't like it.

I've done that for a few desirable guns that I wanted to try but weren't up for rent anywhere. Buy 'em, try 'em out, sell what you don't want to keep, meet great people in the process, and I you'll exchange some feedback on this site which helps with future transactions.

For me, this is all more desirable than waiting and hoping, and having answers now lets you shape the rest of your collection.

That's because the glock has better sights. The stock sights on the BG 2.0 suck. You can drive a truck through the rear u notch. They were not built for accuracy. The sights on the carry comp are a little better.
