If I remember correctly the early pistols came with a normal steel barrel, the later ones came with the MIM barrels. If I am correct the steel barrels were stamped 380 auto on the top and BG 380 on the ejection side of the barrel. That is the barrel that came in my late BG380 serial # KAKXXXX. My wife's (now traded off) had the MIM barrel and was serial # KAR 20xx. BG380 and 380 ACP were both on the same side of the barrel not 2 places.

OK on to my original question, if one could find a M&P Bodyguard "Plastic" part of the grip would one be able to exchange it for the Bodyguard 380 grip. As above the ability to remove fully the laser withiout leaving a dust collector would be great.

Thanks for the update so far.
