Amen! After having my BG 380 for a year and shooting over a thousand rounds thru it with no problems it flew apart at the range last month. I packed it up and sent it to S&W. They have had it for 5 weeks now. I just e-mailed them to find out whats up with it. I have shot many, many guns this...

Just thought I would update. Contacted S&W after they had the gun for a week and a half. The rep e-mailed me back to "give it a couple of weeks". Well they have now had the gun for 3 weeks and no word. So much for a quick turn around. I will update again when I receive the gun back on the...

I just boxed up my BG380 and will be sending to S&W tomorrow. They were pretty quick to respond. I called them yesterday and was emailed a return shipping label today. I will update my post when I get it back and see if they repair or replace it and see what they have to say about the problem.

I'm not sure. But I've been following the BG 380 problems on line for a long time and I know many people with guns a lot more recent than mine were still having problems.

I have an early 380 BG,serial EAA00xx. With well over a thousands rounds thru it with out a single problem. I was at the range today shooting my model 29 44 mag.,Which I love, I decided to shoot the 380 a little since it is my cc gun. After getting 3 or 4 rounds off the barrel and slide went...

Thanks for the tips. Sounds like I'm doing ok with a good cleaning of the bore and chamber. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I guess after a year or so I can think about breaking it down a little for a complete cleaning.

I just picked up my new S&W model 29,nickel plated 6.5" barrel the other day. Shot 50 rounds thru it and just love it. I was disappointed in the manual that came with it. Just a general S&W revolver manual with nothing specific to the 29. Almost nothing on the brake down and cleaning of it. I...

Went out to the range over the weekend and put another 100 rounds thru my BG380, up to about 450 now. Not a single problem. Really fun to shoot. I was goruping in a 12 inch circle at 40 feet. Not bad for a small cc gun, I don't think!

Glad to hear some GOOD news about one for a change! Is that the original frame that was repaired or did they give you a new one?

I'm very displeased with S&W myself and I haven't had any problems with my BG380. My concern is after reading of all the problems with them you have to wonder about the reliabilty of the gun! After emailing S&W three times asking what the failure rate is, what are the problems and the...

Anyone know of a store with the BG380 mag in stock? I have two on back order at Cabelas, they were supposed to be in about now but they just let me know that the expected date is now Oct. 30th!

Not really, If you read posts its a lot of the same people on all the different forums. Iv'e been following them close sinse I bought my BG380 about two months ago (no problems). Its mostly the take down pin problem and the trigger not returning although that one doesn't seem to be showing up as...

correction, serial EAA00XX

EA00XX no problems after 450 rounds. So far so good! I really like this gun!

So the guy likes the gun. Someone has a different opinion than you and they have to be a Cool-Aid drinker?
