I have had a 380 Bodyguard now for several months, and I've put a few hundred rounds through it. It's now going back to the factory for repairs or replacement because, like some other users, I was firing it and the pin that is the release for the slide to disassemble the weapon popped out and disappeared in the middle of firing. S&W reps were very friendly and told me this was a problem with early serial numbers, and they fixed it with later ones with a minor mod. They pick up the cost for shipping both ways and repair/replacement. My beef? It took a long time to get the shipping labels, and I bought this gun for self-protection, which it is not doing when it is unavailable for maintenance. My confidence in S&W went down with this experience.
