The BBG380 uses an over/under, break-open layout with two fixed steel barrels and an automatic alternating striker that switches between barrels with each shot. A serrated top-latch controls the barrel release for loading and unloading.
Its action is single-action only with an exposed spur hammer. Safety features include a cross-bolt safety, a half-cock notch, and a hammer block. The pivoting trigger provides a straightforward, consistent press.
Construction centers on an alloy frame and receiver finished in satin silver, paired with wood grips. The micro footprint measures approximately 4.65 inches in overall length and about 14 oz in weight, balancing compact size with durable steel barrels.
Fixed sights consist of a rear trough channel and an integral front blade. The left barrel is marked "MODEL BBG380 CAL .380" and the right barrel is marked "BEARMAN SALT LAKE CITY, UT," reflecting its U.S. origin.
This example is part of the Big Bore Guardian series and is identified by manufacturer part number BBG380SR. The factory packaging reflects the Cobra-to-Bearman transition, showing a Bearman rollmark with a legacy Cobra reference on the box.
