DAO pistol shooting today.. .380 Bodyguard

John Gault · Jan 14, 2018

Shot the wife's. 380 S&W Bodyguard today.
First two shots didn't impress me with DAO trigger in a tiny frame but the last 4 shots grouped in a 1 inch hole at 7 yards and I was very impressed.
This pistol has a super short barrel and again is tiny and not real comfortable in my hands but Wow..... I outgrouped myself with my own comfortable Walther PPQ by a longshot and i shoot it ok..

Who else has similar results?
In a gunfight I might not like that trigger pull but for putting the smallest groups on paper it was pretty cool..
Maybe I finally found a reason to get a DAO wheel gun....
My SIG 229 first pull is D.A. and I was always pretty good with it too.

I quite like mine. unlike most pocket 380s it has all the functions of a real handgun - slide lock, lock open on last round. and I appreciate the hammer fired for restrike capability.

target pistol it is not, but it is considerably less snappy than other 380s.

I'd shoot more than six shots before coming to any conclusion about any handgun.

i love mine. i have had a lot of 380s and it's the most controllable, least punishing pocket 380 i've owned. i also like the fact it has a real slide lock/release and hold open on empty. all the features of a real pistol.
