The S&W Bodyguard 380 is a little gun with big features. With the recent price reduction by S&W, this gun is a wonderful value including a built in laser sight. Other features not commonly found on 380s are a lock back slide on an empty magazine, second strike capability and metal useable dovetail sights. It also has an external safety if you choose to use it. Overall the Bodyguard may be the best 380 for the price.

  • laser is useless in a defensive situation. you have to draw turn the laser on with your trigger finger and the put your finger back on the trigger and shoot. how nobody thought of that when they designed this gun is unbelievable.

  • @hawkdogie Since the laser has activation switches on both sides of the gun, you can activate the laser with your non-dominant hand while drawing the weapon with practice. There can be defensive tactical situations where you may not want your laser to come on as soon as you grasp your weapon although they are much less frequent.

  • My hubby just picked up this lil pistol and the laser quit working within a couple hours of purchase. Needless to say, it is on it's way to MA and he didn't even get to fire it! Can't wait to get her back so we can try her out!

  • @ShotGunShanni I hate to hear that. When you get the BG back you may want to put some blue loctite on the screw that holds the laser assembly in. Mine backed out causing the slide to strike it. This bend the screw. The loctite will hold the screw in place but still allow you to remove it. Good Shooting!

  • Thank you for your review. Just bought mine and planning on shoot this weekend at the range. Can't wait to put some rounds in this 380.

  • @hansonmkusa I hope you range session when well!

  • That was a really great review on the BG. I have been looking for another back-up and this is definitely worth looking into. Thanks.

  • Good review! I carry this gun...I am a slender woman and this gun is very concealable on my body. Good accuracy and dependability. The laser is worthless to me so I have no opinion on that LOL. The one issue I have is the mag popping out accidentally. The mag release is too soft and inconveniently located and my thumb sometimes hits it when firing. But overall, I agree with your review!

  • @antidonkey You can't go wrong with a revolver. A revolver has been my carry gun for years.

  • I went with the revolver version. For carrying, I want my firearm to be as simple as possible. Happy with it so far.
