I bought a Bodyguard 38 soon after it was available and I really like it. It is my first and only revolver so the direction of the cylinder rotation is not an issue. I am left handed and my wife is right handed so the location of the cylinder release is a plus, as is the laser. I find it easy to operate the laser with my left thumb and my wife can do it pretty easily with her support hand. The trigger is a little heavy but it is very smooth. I may look into lightening it up just a bit. The one thing I'd like to do is add an XS Sights Big Dot front sight.
