Love my 29. I was worried about recoil before getting it. It’s so easy to shoot. I would dare say my Glock 26 is more spicy to shoot. You feel the power with the 10mm for sure, but it’s not bad at all. Favorite gun right now.
I have the G17L Gen 1 and it has never had any issues… i did ditch the horrible sights though. Got all blacked out sights with the rear one being adjustable. I love it.
Just recently found your channel from searching for reviews from the p365. I was planning on getting one again but was looking at this exact S&W today thinking I should look for some input. Thanks for sharing some great content. I hope your wife recovered (looks like I’m a month out from this date) and definitely subscribing! Can you do a follow video on this one please? Even just a short to see how it is fairing..
@@bobkenton3490 thanks for the sub man. I really appreciate that about my wife too. She is doing a lot better. I will see what I can do on the follow up. It’s never had an issue but I will say knowing what I know of 9mm vs 380 I would pick 9mm all day over 380. The sig 365 is an excellent pistol.
Hey Buddy, thanks for your 2000 rounds bio, I watched the first one !! I just ordered one from my gun shop n this video makes me feel like I made the right decision !! Thank You Buddy💥🔫 from Commy Ct 🇺🇸
Hey: I am researching a S&W 640 Pro, and I came across your shooting video. First, I am impressed with your marksmanship...you shoot both of these revolvers very well. Second, the 357 mag recoil out of the 640 Pro appears to be very manageable. Again, thanks for making this shooting video - good job.
@@RG-ru3ux thank you bud. I appreciate that. The .357 in it is stout but definitely manageable. I wouldnt suggest a 500 round range trip with it but 100-150 round .357 range trip lets you leave knowing you shot a very well made pistol. 38 special even +p is very tame.
I shot mine in a Glock match making a 496 out of 500. I own 3. Dude your rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation. Sand bag it and put it on paper!
It’s interesting to see that you don’t have your left thumb on the gun and you’re as accurate a shot as I’ve seen anyone shooting on RU-vid, where did you learn this technique? You’re an amazing shooter!
Glad to see it feeds the Underwood XD's. I've seen a video or two where the two part feed ramp seems to give some ammo feed issues. I'm a big fan of Underwood. Like you, I carry 155 gr in my XDM Elite 10mm when in urban settings, and 200 gr hardcast when in the hills. 147 gr and 124 gr HST in all my carry 9mm's as well. Been trying to figure out what to run in the BG 2.0, and Underwood XD looks like one of the best options. Kind of a toss-up between that and Hydra Shok Deep. (Possibly HST )
@@boblaws9851 sounds like we use about the same Carry ammo. Good stuff. I can say the underwood xds ran good in mine. But, I do know of two others personally that it would not cycle reliably. It does run in mine but am seriously thinking about hst. I’ve ran 75 rounds of hst and all have fed too. The two other pistols I was talking about fed hst perfectly also.
@@livennick9 Good info. Yeah, the HST has a fairly round nose, as does the Hydra-Shok. The Hydra-Shok does have a little more of a jagged opening which concerns me slightly. I will carry the BG2 pretty much only in shorts and t-shirt weather, so HST would likely be a good fit. Paul Harrell (R.I.P.) did a .380 HST test a while back though his patented "meat target" with impressive results. If i recall correctly, he fired them through an LCP with a 2.75" barrel as well. Hmmmm.
@@boblaws9851 yah I always loved watching his videos. Old school like original Hickok. I’m same as you on the t shirt shots carry. After that I’ll probably switch to my 43 for pocket carry.
@@livennick9 There is a lot of knowledge to be had from some of those guys. Hickok was the video that convinced me to take the plunge on the Bodyguard 2.0. He bought one for himself after getting his test pistol from Bud's. Coming from someone who has shot about every handgun made, and he chose a BG2, and that spoke to me. lol When the shorts get put away for the season my Shield Plus and MC9 will be my go to. Easy enough to throw on a light cover shirt or jacket. For now my GX4 is my smallest, but it's almost too much for a pocket in some cases. When the heavy jackets come out, my Shield 40 or the 10mm are the flavor of the day.
@@DrDitchpickle man they really aren’t worth the price except for longevity. I’ve gone through two daiwa fuegos and my first vanford is still like new. But all in all the fuego and vanford feel and look about the same. Shimano just has them beat on drag and gearing. I think best bang for the buck is the fuego.
I totally agree on the Shield 45's. I've got a 3.3 and a 4 inch Shield .45, and they are some of my favorite carry guns. The Shield 45 with a 7 round mag is the same exact height and thickness in the slide as a 1911 with a flush fit mag, so the 4" model comes out to be nearly identical in size to a 1911 Commander, only lighter and thinner through the grip. So easy to carry concealed. And my 3.3" is just a joy to pack around. Perfect for winter carry, even in a coat's big patch pockets for a quick trip to the corner store. Good choices all around. My BG2 is living in my pocket right now and I don't see that changing anytime soon. thanks for doing the work of testing it out so rigorously. Nice to see it can easily handle a thousand rounds with no issues, being such a tiny pistol.
Same here, ever since I picked up this little BG 2.0, it has been with me.👊 The only time I have carried it by itself is like you, walking the dog and short trips to store in the small town I live in. It is so easy to slip it into a pocket and go. Initially I grabbed a sticky because it was available, but I now have a Muddy River Tactical Kydex pocket holster for it, I like the Kydex much better.👍
@@User98938 I have absolutely zero reason to lie. About anything really, So I don’t. It’s easier that way. 820 is not many rounds at all to be honest. Even in this pistol. Proper care helps. 9mm is one of the most reliable calibers out there. Since you were referring to small calibers the 380 and 9mm are both .355 caliber projectiles. I’m just giving facts. I’m not trying to sell the pistol. Thanks for watching.
I too like the TACOPS best of all 365's I was lucky I got my TACOPS with 8 magazine for $599 on a special promotion Sig and the gun store had. I put a Wilson Combat grip on my 365 which is a huge improvement. I don't like the compensated at all.
Like the fact that you opted for the manual safety! Would have love to hear a little bit more about it! Is it easy to disengage? Easy to engage? Or is it too stiff/small?
@@BillHimmel it’s a positive on positive off and that is great. You don’t want one that is easy or sags on its own. The stippling on the safety itself is excellent. It’s not ultra tiny but just small enough not to be a burden and get in the way or accidentally slip it off or on. To me it’s the way every safety should be. I hope this helps.
It is quite stiff, and like the gun itself, very small. All my handguns are striker fire, so there is zero need for a thumb safety. It may be a pocket pistol, but it had better ALWAYS be in a holster when in your pocket. If it's in a holster, there is no need/advantage to having a thumb safety. If you always practice/train with a thumb safety, no problem. If you don't, I advise against getting the thumb safety model. It's not "easy" to disengage. Similar to the Shield, only smaller and slightly stiffer.
@@boblaws9851 I disagree on the safety part but that’s just me. Yes, always have in a Pocket holster but most pocket pistols don’t have the trigger this one does. To each their own. I have absolutely zero issue with off and on personally. Every draw up with a pistol that has a safety in any of my videos has safety on and coming off in the draw. I been shooting pistols both competitively and other uses for over 25 years and striker fired and hammer fired and have seen a few nd’s happen. No safety = shit can happen. Safety = shit can happen. Up to the user. Some people want more peace of mind.
@@livennick9 Yup, thumb safeties are definitely a personal choice. Until a person has to draw in anger, who knows if you will actually hit the safety. I've never had to do it, and pray that I never do. If I do, all I will have to do is try to aim and squeeze. The only real safety is the person holding the firearm. Not criticizing here, just giving my point of view. 👍
Love it when uncles are honest. I ordered one w/o the manual safety and will be carrying in the pocket with a kydex holster. Very excited! I agree best carry everywhere and never be outgunned kinda carry gun.
