I just bought a used 380 bodyguard last week as I had major issues with the Ruger LCP. I shot the bodyguard for the first time today and the slide lock failed on the last shot 6 out of 8 tries. I read this post and Operator68 was right on when he said look at the follower. I looked at both magazines and noted a visible wear to the ledge on the left side of the follower. I switched only the follower out, using the same magazine/spring/floor plate. I inserted one round in the gun and fired. The slide locked back. Of five last shots, the slide lock worked, but engaged fully only two of five attempts. I wonder if I can just purchase followers rather than entire new magazines.
