I purchased a S & W Bodyguard 380. I've had it to the range a few times. Shoots great feels good, it is my everyday carry. I was at the range today after 1 shot the slide stuck open with a spent case. I cleared the case and fired again. Same thing happens. I decide break down the weapon to locate the cause. I could not get the slide to open enough to engage the latch. I tried for about 20 min at the range to break the weapon down. I even engaged the assistance of the range master. After he could not open the slide he recommend sending it back to Smith & Wesson.
After getting home and having the use of tools I was able to get to release pin out. The slide still would not go all the way back. After removing the barrel and spring I found the srew holding the laser sight in had backed out and was preventing the slide from fully opening .
