What's your smallest CCW?

A few reasons for the LCP max over the bodyguard 2.0: it's shorter and rounder (better for pocket carry), generally better reliability with various ammo types (BG 2.0 apparently is picky on hollowpoints and doesn't run well with fluid displacement rounds), the BG 2.0 has been known to have QC issues (more of a widespread S&W issue), and the LCP max is almost half the cost with better reliability.
Fair, I don’t know much about each of them. The last bit is a non factor for me for a gun so cheap and on paper (and in hand) the BG 2.0 seemed better, but I can’t speak to the QC or reliability which is more important for a carry piece.
 
Glock 43x....
Opps....I'm still carrying it from a day's activities

Pee three sixty five, Walther PPK-S are the smallest for me. 2 1/2" Model 66 for extra credit since its a crowd pleaser.

I got myself a Keltec P15 recently. I've carried a Bersa Thunder 380 for a few years because I liked its small size and weight.
 
365XL. Small enough to be concealed comfortably and big enough that I don't feel like I'm carrying too small of a gun to be used effectively. Every once in a while I will shoot a run-n-gun match with it just to confirm that.
