Review of the Smith & Wesson BODYGUARD 380

[Ibear1992]

My cousin carries one of these. I've shot it a few times and i really like it. My uncle liked it so much he bought one for his carry piece aswell.

Ive had my BG for over a yr and overall i enjoy it, my only issue that i have is most times when i fire it i get "blow back" in the face.. has anyone else had this problem? Called SaW and sent it to them to check it out.. waiting to hear back from them and the return of my firearm...

Did you ever receive your BG back? Did S&W resolve the issues?

I did get it back after a couple weeks and everything checked out fine with them. The only thing they said was to use American made ammo. I ended up selling it so i could buy something for enjoyable to shoot and carry..

Love my Bodyguard as a pocket gun. The fact it has a heavy and long enough trigger pull to be carried with the safety off in my pocket without worry is great!! Also, bullet tech has made leaps and bounds lately giving me more piece of mind to carry a 380.

I grew up in an LEO family and this led to my primary CC being a Glock, so I am used to no manual safety. Great little secondary pocket gun.

I really wanted to like this gun. I liked the size and most everything about it, but I just could not get past the trigger. Decided to buy a Glock 42 instead.

Good choice.

I'm looking for a pocket .380 and found this thread. Thanks for the review, Eric. By the way, it was great to meet you.

An S&W rep will be at Peacemakers this week, and I plan on trying this gun out. I hope he brings one. They also have a sale on anything S&W you buy.

Yeah, old thread. I still have the Body Guard that I reviewed here. I see the original has lost the photos. I'll have to see if I can find them and put them back in the review.

Nice meeting you as well.
