Respectfully, oh brother. Find me better sights on a tiny gun. Serrated blacked out rear, tritium front AND a hi viz yellow outline for daytime. Stock. Tell us the micro gun with better sights.

I have heard this striker complaint. What are you actually planning to do to the striker? If it breaks sure. Has it broke? No? Yet you are determined to swap out the striker, clean the striker channel, what? Because you actually don’t need to do any of that regardless of what the internet says.

I remember having to remove the rear sight in 3rd gen smiths to remove the mag safety I believe it was. Pain in th3 as but you did it once.

The original LCP can still be bought. Easily. The reason nobody buys it it because the BG 2.0 doubles the round count nearly and is MARGINALLY bigger. You want a tiny gun it is easily found. You want 10+1, it has to be a bit bigger.

If you truly want to work on the striker on a regular basis then invest in a sight pusher for this gun.

How often do Glock guys “work” on their striker. Honest question because of my dozen or so that I’ve owned for over 30 years I haven’t done shit and they still seem to work just fine. lol

The tight magazine thing is silly. You obviously don’t have a mag loader because if you actually can’t get full capacity into your mags then they are defective. They absolutely are tight. They also stuff more rounds in a tiny package than I have ever seen. Ever. And they work perfectly. This isn’t a range toy. It isn’t a competition gun. Who cares if mags are hard to load if it functions perfectly? Honest question. This is like complaining your Porsche uses premium gas or your Barrett shoots expensive ammo. You want cutting edge size and capacity it is at the ragged edge. Take your thumbs to the gym.

I probably should have said, when I posted I'd had a 2.0 for a couple of years, that the factory sights stunk-not as bad IMO as the P365 sights, but too small.

When I first got the gun there were no night sights available that I could find. Fast forward some three months IIRC and Night Fision had theirs out. I bought a set with the yellow front ring and it made, again IMO, a world of difference in shooting the little gun for me.

I find I almost always change the sights on a new gun, and I favor the yellow front ring for both day and night. In other words, an old codger like me can see that front sight clearly.

No thanks, I spent a career spanning six decades (1970s-2020s inclusive) beating up my hands. There's an UpLula loader for single-stack magazines. Work smart, not hard.

I think my point went over your head. It’s a pocket sized carry piece. Complaining about how hard it is to get the 10th round in is stupid. Did the 10th round cycle? If yes then there isn’t an issue. Besides which I even stated “clearly you don’t have a mag loader” which makes the last round even in a tough mag inconsequential.

There is no gym for your thumbs.

Not for nothing, the normal double stack uplula works fine for BG2.0 mags. That’s what I use.

Carry a LCP Max 380, great little pistol, replaced the single stack LCP 380, more boolits is better.

Should be a good carry, fits in a nice desantis or similar pocket holster or IWB, doesn't drag my pants or shorts to the ankles.

Summer carry is 12 months here, so lighter is better.

Another vote for a Kahr CW380. It's soooo tiny, but shoots better than most of the larger 380 ACP guns.

With the Kahr, your saving .05" in width, but gaining lower capacity & less ergonomics...the bodyguard is really the best .380 concealment option on the market.
