Kind of fat and heavy for a pocket gun; it's the size of a detonics, which is .45 , not .380, cal., and thinner.
If a .380 is enough gun(and I agree as a defensive weapon, with the right ammo, it can be), a thinner pistol sure tucks away easier. Personally, I like the PP and PPK walthers, in SS.
Just the same, the BDA is a quality pistol, and if the size is OK, you NEED it. Like money, friends, and fun, ther ain't no such thing as too much (many)!

SG, I kinda like it.
The 13 rounds could come in handy (in a pinch)

Well if'n ya don't like it.
I might be able to find a nice family to adopt it.

.380 = SIG230 in my book.

45Smashemflat, if the need for a 380 exisits (I know it does),
I'd agree the Sig230 is top of the line.
The Sig239 in 9mm, is as small as I've gone so far.
However, I've owned the pre-ban P226 in 9mm and the P229 in 40S&W.
Both exceptional combat weapons, Durable, Dependable and BLACK!
