I purchased this firearm a few months ago. Love it. I haven't experienced some of the issues others have. I put a few k rounds through it, no issues. I am a Smith fan, of course. But, there is one dilemma. I keep "spares" for all of my firearms, usually springs, barrels, etc.. I recently contacted Smith and asked where I could purchase a barrel for the Bodyguard .380. I got an immediate response that these were restricted items, and they are not available retail. I've been in the industry (consumer, instructor, LEO, etc..) since the 80's, and I cannot recall EVER hearing anything remotely similar to this. If it warps, gets damaged, excessive wear (I put a ton of rounds through my guns) what options remain? Paperweight? Please provide insight if available. I realize many do not feel the need to store spare parts - I get it; but, I do, in every single case. I feel the need to consider selling it;but, it works GREAT and does what it is supposed to do perfectly, every time. Any ideas? I saved the emails from Smith, they were very clear - not available for retail sales, and "restricted".
