The bodyguard 2.0 has been added!

[jvpark]

Any word on BG 2.0 arriving to stores yet (for fulfilling preorders)? I know the initial rumor was 3-4 weeks and we are now officially on Day 21. Not that anyone is counting

Any word on an ETA?

Wondering same thing if anyone at Turners, etc. has gotten thiers?

 

[Brandon Breeze]

Been on the waiting list at the LGS, who stated they ordered a bunch very shortly after the announcement dropped. No ETA from them so far.

So strange. I’ve already taken mine home (as have plenty of others in this thread), yet some are still waiting for stock to arrive? So it goes.

Super cool pocket rocket. You’ll be glad to get one.

 

[MrWilly]

Still waiting. The optic will probably be here first.

I was at RifleGear a couple weeks ago picking up a purchase and out of curiosity I asked the salesman if he had seen a Bodyguard 2.0 380 yet. He advised no but they were expecting to eventually get them in. He further advised that Turners, being Turners and one of largest shops in the state, will be receiving the first shipments from SW distributors. He told me that once you start hearing/seeing Turners customers getting them, that other shops will start getting them. He told me his best guess estimation was late July/August.

I wonder. How many folks handed over their credit cards to Turners when the BG 2.0 was added to the roster to get a place in line and if they were charged right away? That was months ago. That being the case, has the purchaser been being paying interest, while Turners is earning interest? Just wondering.

Doesnt surprise me that Turners emplyee would think they get first dibs. Well Turners is definitely not the FIRST to get them. My wife has had her california compliant BG 2.0 comp for a couple weeks now. Bought at a small mom and pop ffl.

RIF (Reading is fundamental). I never said this came from a Turners employee.

You got me. Riflegear employee was incorrect then.

.380 is definitely worth it. The ammo price isn't too bad either, unlike .32 ACP. I'm actually surprised we don't have more 380 options on the market. I would buy an 80X Cheetah and a Glock 42 day 1 if they were available here.

The G42 is arguably the best .380 ever made unlike the G43 due to the difference in recoil. But why would anyone need a compensator and a ported barrel on a .380?

Sorry for coming off like a Donkey, I just wanted to be clear.

Just got the notice that I can go to Turner's on 5/18 to get the paperwork started.

I preordered from Turners same day as the roster addition. Still waiting for my call.

I was same day as the roster addition as well.

 

[RivBeaCA]

Not sure who is interested in a comp - but looks like sportsman should be getting some around the 20-24th

I was at the Turner’s today at Kearny Mesa in San Diego for mostly unrelated reasons, I did overhear the gents behind the counter saying they got a handful of BG shipments (presumably non-comp) in today, I would have inquired further, but I was kind of in a hurry to finish a DROS. Oh, they also mentioned they just received a few Echelon 4.0 FCs in as well. Please call to verify before making the drive, this is what I overheard while filling out paperwork

I handled one of these in a LGS this week and it was comically small. You really could throw this thing in any pocket and no one would know. Seems like it would be a nightmare to shoot (though I’ve never shot .380) with how small and thin the grip is. I’ve seen some people recommend this as an alternative to the p365 but I really don’t think they’re a good comparison the p365 is much bigger and meatier even with the smaller grip. It’s more of a lcp competitor.

A cool little pistol for sure

It shoots very well for its size because of the dimensions of the firearm. Extremely low bore axis, grip size may be small but very good purchase considering the size of the gun. Muzzle flip is manageable. Even more so with carry comp edition. For light conceal carry (pocket or bag) I would rather have a BG CC than P365.

Looking at the dimensions. You get at least 30% more grip purchase with the same pistol height because of ultra short slide dimensions.

It’s more the width for me that makes it difficult. I even got a WC grip for my p365 to get a little wider… the BG felt crazy thin in comparison. Very cool gun, I just dislike shooting tiny guns anyways
