I work at a gun store and we just had a new stainless slide lcp max 380 come and for some reason it's 100 dollars cheaper than they normally are, it's 185.
I don't really need it, but it seems like a good deal and I miss my p32 and want another pocket carry gun.
Is it as good of a deal as it seems?
I keep hearing they're good to go but get a bodyguard 2.0, but some people claim they're made poorly and I don't wanna waste even 200 on trash. Feels good enough just fingering it.

Are you going to be unable to pay any of your bills if you're short $185 dollars? If not, for that price why not?

Just wait for S&W to realize that there's no reason why they can't make a BG2.0 in .30SC and then you'll never need another subcompact.

I have one, the stainless slide one just like your pic and its a dream. I dont understand how i can shoot it so well, everything is against it. Small ass grip my pinky hangs off of, weighs next to nothing, incredibly short sight radius(duh), yet i can pop metal targets effortlessly 25 yards away all day. Maybe it works for you the same, many seem to prefer the bodyguard 2.0 but the lcp just felt right in my hand vs the bodyguard

It's slightly less ass than the original LCP, but micro compacts in general are snappy and hard to aim. You just have to ask yourself if you want to spend $185 on a paperweight that you'll take to the range once and will never leave your safe again because literally anything else is a better shooting option.

The BG2.0 is a much better gun, fabulous gun, but $185 is dirt cheap for anything half-decent, I wouldn't hesitate.

I like my bodyguard.
All the lcps ive used have had feeding issues, plus fuck a single stack magazine may as well carry a revolver.

Ruger and S&W aren't even on the same tier when it comes to their semiauto handguns. Rugers are basically the quality level of the S&W svd9e at best. The Bodyguard .380 is much higher quality, I've had the smaller version for like 15 years, no issues. Felt a lot more solid than the LCP so never went for it. I've owned an LC9 and that was enough for me to figure out Ruger was trash. They probably churn those out for $50 a pop in their slop factory, put a pretty design in the plastic and sell it for whatever made up number they come up with. Their prices will drop like $200+ in a year on some models, it's an odd marketing setup they have.

I would. I love two tone guns.

Stop buying sweatshop garbage made by people who almost certainly get welfare or food stamps to supplement the 16$ an hour Ruger pays them

I've had 0 issues with my lcp2 and lcp max, the lcp and lcp2 are noticeably kind of low quality firearms. They wear quickly and feel low quality in the hand but I haven't shot one out or anything. The max is much higher quality and I would highly recommend it in a vacuum. As you said though the issue is that the bodyguard 2.0 absolutely BTFOs the max and you'd be stupid not to buy it instead, even if it is a whole $200 bucks more just wait another paycheck or two. Try renting both, should put things pretty much to rest.

$185 for a functional pistol in a caliber bigger than .22lr is usually alright. LCP max is a bit on the thick side, but does fine innapocket.

It's exactly that: "good enough" and reliable. It's not fun or something even enjoyable, but it is a great value.

As a LCP Max owner I would say get the bodyguard 2.0 instead. I've had mine for years but I'm honestly thinking about selling it; the trigger slap isn't horrible but it's still bad.
