Model Name:638 Bodyguard
Manufacturer:Smith & Wesson
Model Number:103070
FULL GUN REPORT
The name Bodyguard has to be one of the all-time classic names for a self-defense gun. Certainly this Smith & Wesson design has been with us a long time, and in many ways it should be considered an unsung hero among the latest super-light firearms, mainly because it did so much so well.

Colt Mustang Pocketlite .380 Auto
From the 04-01-2003 Issue of Gun TestsClassification:Handguns
Category:Pistols
Model Name:Mustang Pocketlite
Manufacturer:Colt's Manufacturing Co.
Model Number:Mustang Pocketlite
FULL GUN REPORT
The .380 cartridge has been around since early in the last century. It was another of John Brownings designs, and has been known as the 9mm Kurz, 9x17, 9mm Browning Short, and .380 ACP. We also know it as the .380 Automatic, or simply the .380 Auto. Its been chambered in a host of small autoloading pistols, some of them quite famous, such as Walthers PPK.
The .380 is not a cartridge many of us would pick for all-around use. Its hardly a plinking cartridge, because of the relatively high cost of ammunition, and because the pistols that chamber it are generally not all that accurate. Reloaders dont exactly flock to the diminutive cartridge, for a variety of reasons. Ammunition manufacturers have produced some excellent fodder in recent years for the tiny guns, but none of it can make a mountain-size stopper out of the molehill .380 Auto.
