    I shot a rental one at a range. It shot beautifully. Reminded me of a CZ75 (which I adore) in terms of feel and balance.

    Anybody own or have experience with the Diamondback pistols. I think I'm going to buy the 380. My Springfield 9mm is small and can be concealed but certainly isn't a "pocket" pistol. They generally get good reviews and aren't expensive at all.

    My CEO has one. I have never heard him say anything bad about it. Of course it's probably not had any shells through it. I understand it is relatively inexpensive for that range of firearm but have you checked out the sheild? I loved the one I shot and I have a full size smith and one if their AR'S. Can't go wrong with them I believe.

    Look into the bodyguard. Small, portable, well built. Has a safety and you can get it with or without built in laser.

    It's down to those two.

    Try to shoot them if possible. Some ranges have test pistols. DB grip looks a bit thicker.

    I like the bodyguard, but that's me. Bit higher price tag too, though. Bodyguard just feels like a gun I can shoot. Most pocket 380s are built more to carry a lot, fire little.

    I'm gonna try to. Price difference isn't enough for me to balk at spending a little more for the bodyguard if I were to like it better. Probably gonna pony up for the laser sight too.

    I just bought a shield in 9mm. It is the model with the safety but the safety is solid and won't move accidentally.

    Pimp gun, cocked and locked 1911 is the only way to go (other than a Glock 23 or 27)

    At some point I'll buy a 1911 .45, not gonna skimp though so I'll have to save my pennies.

    Edit: I acknowledge there is nothing that beats a 1911.

    Sometimes I need a screwdriver. Sometimes I need a drill with a Phillips head bit.

    The gun dealer on Breaking Bad said the 38 special was a good, reliable gun. So, I learned that.
