Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp Holster?

Post by JRG »

I picked up a Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp at the Mesquite gun show today. Got a pretty good price and had a couple of Christmas gift cards to throw in on the deal. Just handling it, I am impressed. Even my wife likes it also. I am now in the market for a holster or two for it, both IWB and pocket carry.

Do you have one of these Bodyguards? What are your recommendations for holsters?

Thanks,
Joe

It depends on what method of carry you are going to use.
This is what I bought for mine because I drop it in my pants pocket.

Obviously there are many options to choose based on your carry preferences.

Thanks for the reply Grayling. I have been primarily carrying IWB at about 4:00 for 30 years or so. I have never had a small gun like this so I thought I might try the pocket carry option. I will check out your link.

I've long been a brand evangelist for Crossbreed holsters. I've carried IWB with one for years now, and I've never been dissatisfied.

I've tried the Velcro clips with a Velcro-lined belt (VERY SECURE) and the standard clips (still perfect). My wife uses the Utiliclip option since she doesn't wear a belt, and it's also a great choice.

Crossbreeds get better with time - the more you wear it, the more comfortable it gets - until the kydex breaks. And that's the best part! Full replacement lifetime warranty. They really stand by their work. Here is a previous post I've written about this topic. viewtopic.php?p=1189876#p1189876

That was the first time I replaced a holster with them, and I've done it again since with others. Never once have they made it difficult to get a replacement, and, in fact, they've gotten better over time. My first replacement holster required me to send in the old one. My latest one simply needed me to send in a photo of the damage.

Note: it's not that they do flimsy work - I'm pretty hard on the holsters, so the fault for them breaking is mostly mine.
Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

You used gift cards for a gun purchase at a gun show?

I've heard a lot of good things about the new Bodyguard 2.0. Not sure if a comp is really needed for a .380 though. For holster recommendations, JM Custom Kydex has been my go to for a few years now. Think I have a discount code I can share if you are interested.

Yes, I got a $25 Mastercard and a $50 Visa card as Christmas presents. I asked the lady working the table I was purchasing from if they were okay to use in addition to my normal debit card. She said "sure." It worked fine.

OK that makes sense. Did you bring the gift cards thinking you would be able to do this? I haven't been to a gun show in 10-15 years so no idea.
