While I am loyal to Smith & Wesson, I couldn't wait any longer and picked up a Ruger LCP. The trigger pull, as you describe the Smith, is extremely long. It too was rough at first but after dry firing it a lot and applying a moly lube, it smoothed out. Given so many complaints about the Bodyguard, I suspect it won't be too long before Smith issues a recall.
By the way, Ruger says over and over again, NOT to use +P rounds. Does the Smith?
