Figuring asking for forgiveness is easier than asking for permission, I swiped the Beretta out of the safe and headed over to my new favorite range, BluCore Shooting Center. While I was there I figured it was a 380 Auto type of night and rented a S&W Bodyguard 380.
I started the night with the Beretta and the free Magtech ammo. I figured shooting a pistol I was comfortable with and using ammo someone else payed for was a great way to start off the night.
After a few mags through the Beretta it was time to switch over to the Bodyguard. Unfortunately, I had to use range ammo through the rental gun. Even more unfortunate was that the laser was not working on the Bodyguard, so no fun with lights. I really didn't like the Bodyguard. It didn't fit my hand well and was in need of a cleaning as it was having FTE's every 5th round or so. The nice thing about BluCore's rental program is that one fee gets you as many guns as you want to shoot. I traded the Bodyguard out for a Kahr P380.
The Kahr fit my hand much better and was much more accurate for me. I improved from pie plate at 5 yards accuracy with the Bodyguard to silver dollar at 5 yards with the Kahr. I've been looking at various pocket pistols and the Kahr 380 definitely moved up the list during this trip despite the higher than average price tag.
By this time my fingers and nose were getting cold due to the BluCore state of the art ventilation system bringing in outside air at a fairly rapid rate. I decided to load up the rest of the sweet sweet free (did I mention free...thanks again LuckyGunner.com) ammo and see what my accuracy looked like at 7 yards.
Not too bad for frozen fingers. As has always been my experience with Magtech 380, the entire box ran through the Beretta flawlessly and was far more accurate than I am. It is a good choice at a reasonable price, with LuckyGunner.com offering it for $0.31 per round.
