    :)I been thinking of getting a pocket gun lately, so today while I was at the range I bought one. An S&W Bodyguard .380. Shoots great and does exactly what I wanted it to do. Now I'll have to break out my dies and start reloading .380. Luckily I've been saving .380 brass for a couple of years.

    i like mine. The trigger took some getting used too, but after some rounds it got a little smoother and i got used to it. However i think the laser is a little useless, but the sights work great

    Loc-tight the little screw under the slide where the laser is. It has a very good chance of backing out and ruining your day. (Or your life if you ever have to use it and it has backed out to catch the slide.) Other than that, Enjoy it. =)

    LSU,

    I would recommend a LCP but if you are dead set on a Body Guard I know somebody selling one. (Prob for cheap) He told me he hasn't found anybody that he dislikes enough to sell it to yet lol. Pm me for the contact info if interested.

    I was thinking of getting one,so a buddy let me pack his for a couple weeks to see if I liked it. Needless to say, I'm going get it for my light carry weapon. I will actually buy two if my wife handles it well at the range.

    Don't have any experience with one of these yet. I'm not a big fan of having extra things like lasers on small carry guns. Seems like more that could break or go wrong. Curious how these things will hold up after years of carry.

    I've shot both the Body Guard and the LCP. Not a whole lot of rounds through both, but I found the Body Guard much easier to shoot. Better sights. More comfortable to handle. I didn't try the laser.

    If I wanted a tiny .380, I'd go with the body guard.
