S&W Bodyguard .380 any good?

really want one with a galloway trigger kit tbqh

that or a glock 42 which I shout and found to be extremely enjoyable.

Have the non-laser version. Mag follwers get chewed up to the point the last round bolt hold open doesn't work anymore. Have read the laser version has a screw that can work loose and lock the slide. Also wish I waited for the non-safety version to come out before I got mine. Conceals great though, I carry it more than any other CC piece I own.

Yeah I heard that the trigger pull can be long.

I really liked the green laser on it though, especially how it comes on when you squeeze the grip.

How much is your LGS asking for the S&W M&P BG380 CTLG you plan to EDC?

The new ones are fine. I haven't used the crimson trace version but they're still light and tiny. I just preferred the Glock to it because it fit my hand better; usually not a big deal but with pocket pistols it matters.

My uncle owns one. Hate the trigger but other than that great little gun.

How many rounds and or how long did you have it for when you started having those problems.

>>31828454

$460, but I haven't put the time in to check other stores for a better deal. I plan on going to a few this weekend.

I want to buy before the election because I expect another price bump due to panic buying.

My grandpa has a first model one. Was my first gun to shoot, actually!

Grip isn't excellent, especially for big-handed boys like me, but that's to be expected with conceal carry pistols.

Never had an FTF, even after a stress test we did where it went through 500 rounds in 2 months with no cleanings. One FTE though.

Laser button got depressed by his holster and ran out of juice, but I think the newer ones have a better button to fix that issue.

Overall I would say an 8/10, really nice pistol to carry.

Oh yeah, trigger pull is long and heavy, but you get used to it

I have the red laser BG and it's not a bad gun. Carry it in a wallet holster front pocket and it looks like a phone. Long heavy trigger but I dont mind when it's in my pocket. Id rather carry something more bit Nice to know it's there if I ever need it

The trigger pull is like AIDS but worse. It is absolutely horrible.

Fucking terrible/10
Go fire a p238 or a shield and then fire this
it's like getting cancer, ebola, AIDS, and dying in a fire at the same time

The one at my LGS was changed over to single action. He said its much better than the older DAO ones.

Put 250 rounds of FMJ and 50 rounds of JHP (all non +P) between 4 mags before I stopped counting. Two mags consistently stopped locking open after the last round, one is intermittent, and the good one I use for CC. Mine is 2 years old, don't know if the new ones still have this issue, but is an easy fix if you have spare followers on hand.

They're snappy, but small.
I wouldn't use anything less than a 9mm without a good reason, but it'll kill things dead for you.

>>31828396
Nobody in their right mind carries 380 anymore. Get a s&w shield in 9mm like a normal human being.

What is wrong with .380? Yes it is not as powerful as 9mm, but a mugger isn't just going to take .380 to center mass and then keep fighting, they will drop or run. People aren't terminators.

Its ergos are solid, conceals well enough, but its trigger is complete butt. Put 100ish rounds of shitty ammo through it without a failure.

It's basically like every other pocket .380.

I liked how it felt enough that I would be willing to get the trigger kit like

>>31828410

mentioned.

How do you carry it? I figure it could be an easy waistband carry if I can find a decent holster system.
