I bought a 380 bodyguard two days ago, 12-18-10. From the get go I notice it was hard to press the buttons to turn on the laser. After a web search to find out if this was common I found your post on how to fix the hard button problem using a q-tip. I followed your directions and the fix worked perfectly. Even though the gun is new I could tell it was going to be a needed fix so why wait. After I've had the gun awhile I'll post again to let everyone know how I like it and how the fix is working.
