I hear what you are saying. But I just don't really see the point in a laser on a BUG, which any .380 would be for me. It being a .380 relegates it to very short range use in my mind. Most likely at or very close to contact distance. I don't think the laser's going to do much in that role. It is a good marketing ploy though and I bet it does sell. It is kind of cool looking but I'll stick with more powerful platforms.
Can you explain further the training benefit of the laser?

After racking my brain and looking at several pocket guns I'm waiting for this one to come out to see what it's all about. The LCP and Kel tec grip angle just plain sucks to me. I like the Seecamp but Silvertips only? Seriously? I will say that the DB380 seemed to be a well designed little gun.
GMT, ever been to Barksdale AFB? I've seen your quote written on a bathroom wall there.
GMT, ever been to Barksdale AFB? I've seen your quote written on a bathroom wall there. Pretty much covers things! On to the SWBG380...
-bought mine a week ago at $440. from a local dealer (KY)
-shot 10+ year old Federal fmj, Magtech 95 gr jhp, and Federal Hydrashock through it with no FTF
-recoil about the same as the Ruger LCP (maybe a little less)
-BG380 felt better in my hand than the Ruger or Taurus
-typical long trigger pull for a pocket gun (it IS a pocket gun)
-laser zeroed in less than 10 minutes. like the laser a lot (first time used one)
-like the external thumb safety
-sites are much better than Taurus or Ruger
After initial testing I sold my Ruger LCP and decided to carry the Smith for warm weather concealed carry. I am using the Desantis Nemesis pocket holster and it is working great in back or front pocket.
MidwayUSA had the Hydrashock ammo for $15.11 per box and the Nemesis holster for $18. in case anyone is interested. I really need spare mags. Anyone know a source that has them in stock yet?
