S&W has dropped their price on the entire M&P line of Semi Autos by $50 also. Both the Bodyguard 380 and 38 have had the price drop. I don't think this has anything to do with previous teething problems the 380 experienced. My dealer still has a waiting list for these and everytime he gets a shipment they are either spoken for or sell immediately. I think this is because of the economy. They are also dropping their rebates and replacing same with the price reductions. I paid $391 for my BG380 with the LEO discount, that is now $303 which is a huge discount. For that price I'm buying a couple for stocking stuffers.
