This is my Bodyguard. It isn't that long in my collection. I regred that it isnt possible to carry the revolver legaly in Holland. If so this is one of my choices.

Well, that's a shame. She's too pretty not to carry. Are you in Rotterdam?

My favorite (also have an M49) is this M38 purchased at S&W by the original owner, (employee of the U.S. Treasury Dept) in 1963. The Tyler T-Grip is my addition.

Carried for 20+ years, retired to wife's HD revo. In 1980 a Zenith 25" got in its way and was dispatched. It has been the "TV gun" since then.

That is a beautiful nickel M38. That model is on my list of guns I NEVER should have sold. I had a blue and a nickel M38 and ended up selling the shiny one to my neighbor. Bad move.

Not sure, Paul, but thanks. They were on her when I purchase her. They remind me of herretts for some reason. They do fill my hand and make her a dream to shoot.

Let's see the Bodyguards
S. D. Myres has been out of business for years- the holsters
shown were made in the 1940's to the 1960's. They come up
for sale now & then on the Internet auction sites & on this
forum.
Glad you like them & thanks for starting this thread.
Regards,
turnerriver

I am new to this site. I love the old S&W wheelguns. I haven't had a chance to upload many photos yet, but hopefully you can see a photo of my airweight bodyguard in my avatar photo.
