Put 50 rounds of HPR TMJ and another 25 rounds of PMC Bronze FMJ with no issues. I feel I can trust my M&P Bodyguard now. Thank You

Yes, Put 25 PMC Bronze through it - no issues, ran perfectly.

I prefer a FMJ, I think they feed better then JHP ammo. I just ordered 4 boxes of HPR 100 Grain TMJ from Cabela's. Will post results after I receive ammo.

Put 25 rounds of Blazer Brass, 25 rounds of PMC Bronze, and 12 rounds Hornady Critical Defense FTX. Had 1 FTF with the Hornady. The FMJ Blazer & PMC ran perfectly. ( had 1 FTF with the Hornady last time at the range ) What ammo do you recommend for the BG 380 ?

Thank You, went to Able Ammo before I seen your post. Ordered 4 boxes of PMC Bronze @ $17.99 a box plus $11.63 for shipping. Yes I am from the Cleveland area, Able Ammo shipped it via UPS ground. ( about 5 day lead time )

Magazines are OEM S&W

Just got back from the range. Shot the following ammo through the M&P BG 380. Also used 3 new magazines. 50 rounds Blazer Brass - No Issues ( slide held back on every last round ) 20 rounds Federal Hydra Shock JHP - No Issues at all. 25 rounds Hornady Critical Defense FTX - 1 failure to...

I am going to buy some quality self defense rounds and see if the BG shoots any better. Any recommendations for ammo ? I know my LGS has Hornady JHP, Winchester W JHP & Federal HST JHP. Are hollow points an issue in feeding ?

Received my M&P BG 380 back. Just a little over 2 weeks, not bad. Cleaned & polished feed ramp / repaired mag springs is what the repair sheet read. Put 50 rounds of Blazer Aluminum through it. Had 1 FTF, and 2 failures to hold slide back on last round. Not completely happy. Do not have...

Thank You both Captain Ron & Rick. I will make a post when I receive my BG back from S&W.

Rickgus, Hard to say if ammo related. All rounds fired through this gun has been Blazer, both aluminum & brass. No issues feeding until now. ( More aluminum because that is all that is available in .380 in the Cleveland Ohio area unless you buy hollow points ) I hand load all magazines then...

Yes I did clean the magazines with the same product M-Pro 7, but i did not disassemble them. I have 900 rounds through this pistol, the failures to feed the 6th round just started. If it was just one magazine with the FTF I could understand, but not all 3. Also had a previous issue with the...

Mine is doing the same thing, failure to feed the 6th round. Called customer service, they sent me a FedEx shipping label. Will let you know what they repaired when I get the pistol back.

Taurus TCP 738 is a very reliable pocket 380. The cheapest pistol that I own. Had to send my M&P Bodyguard back 3 times because the slide would not stay open on the last round. Seems fixed now.

Make a fist and let the dog sniff, if dog snaps it will not get you fingers. I always ask the owner first if dog is friendly.
