I've been back and forth on this for weeks?

anyone have any opinions on the S&W bodyguard?

I'm not opposed to spending more cash on a nicer 380. But, being I have the Shield already and am used to the manual safety, I'm thinking it might be beneficial not change my draw process? Or am I over thinking this thing?

the others on the top of my list were
1. Kahr p380
2. Sig p250

maybe some others I should consider?

AMT Backup in 380 is a good choice for a 'pocket pistol'. There is a holster made that is a wallet style that the pistol goes in and it can be fired from inside the holster. I carried one for years, it's light, unobtrusive and holds 6 rounds. I switched to a Combat Commander in .45 for a period of time, before going to the P229 in .357 SIG. If you know someone that has an AMT that they wouldn't mind letting you wear test for a bit, that is a way to go. I think I saw them on GunBroker for about $250. There are two versions, one is DAO and has a huge trigger guard, the other is SA and has a smaller guard. I carried the SA one, round chambered, safety on (Condition 1).
