The bodyguard needs several updates to be a better pistol. The first one just got done, no laser. It also needs a shorter trigger pull, ability to rack the slide with the safety on like the Shield and it needs to be ambidextrous with the slide release and thumb safety on both sides like the full size M&P's.
These improvements would make it top of the EDC .380's. The most important is the need for the shorter trigger pull, currently it sucks and I know, I have 2 of them.
