Default Bodyguard 380

Is there a kit or anything that can be done to a Bodyguard 380 to lighten the trigger. I like the feel of the gun and the reliability has been 100% but the trigger sure could use some work. Any information would be appreciated.
Be safe, Frank

I was looking at one at the LGS. I commented on how heavy the trigger was, he tried it and agreed. Then he pulled their rental bodyguard down and it was like a completely different pistol. Trigger was light years better. I would say some snap caps and lots of dry firing.

I have shot about 300 rounds through mine and at first was very disappointed in the long trigger pull and varied poi, but after much dry firing and lubing the trigger, it now pulls much better and my patterns are greatly improved. So I know there is hope for BG owners!

I have around 350 rds. through mine and the trigger is getting better. Most I know who have them say the more you use it, the better it gets.
