I still like this pistol even after the trigger issue. IMO for it to turn out to be the "best" of the pocket 380's S&W will HAVE to address the travel and pull of the trigger. They will have to retrofit a lighter weight spring for starters. The trigger on mine travels about 1/4" before ANY...

I know, sorry I was being sarcastic.:D

Several of us BG380 owners have, the S&W customer service dept.:rolleyes:

I was aware of the pin backing out problem, I wasn't aware of a "fix" S&W had for it. As I said, that is one problem I have not experienced. I'll wait awhile before calling S&W again, but after shooting my nephew's Ruger Mark III yesterday I "might" just have to trade this thing in for one and...

I appreciate your input on this. BTW, what exactly have they upgraded on the takedown pin? That is one thing I have had no problems with so far... after a total of about 250 rounds.

Dragon, at this point I guess I will take your advise. I'll wait awhile to contact S&W again about this. I'm no gunsmith, but can anyone tell me why this gun needs such a stiff spring? Heck my 64 year old M1 carbine has a MUCH better trigger on it than the BG380.

NOT HAPPY First 2 full magazines.... trigger STILL failed to reset. After that it did start to reset properly... about 95% of the time. The final 40-50 rounds it did reset 100% of the time. Most of the time now I can feel a "catch" in the trigger travel about halfway. There can be no way S&W...

Where you at Plainfield Shooting Supplies? if so, I was looking at the same one. Told Bob I'd take one, but NOT that one. He brought another one from the back. Of all the problems I've had with my BG380, the laser has worked perfectly. Fairly easy to turn on with just my index finger.

Same here. Does that mean I'm shipping my BG to some crazed lunatic?:D

I received my return label today. One thing that concerns me is, it states on the return instructions that I have to, "verbally inform the receiving FedEx employee that a package contains a firearm". Not real keen on that one.:confused: I thought I saw on S&W website NOT to inform anyone as...

There HAS to be some MAJOR hand wringing going on at S&W on this one. How and the heck can so many of these pistols get out and fail so quickly?:confused: S&W has to test fire these firearms to get the empty casing they include with the gun. I knew after the first round there was a problem...

Mine was not dry fired at all before I first shot it. Well at least I didn't, and it was one the dealer went to the back and got not the one in the case. The trigger on mine was WAY too hard to pull from the first shot. I would pull until I was convinced the gun wouldn't fire. As I was...

I stand corrected.:rolleyes: Guess I should have read the warranty info that came with the pistol further. Don't want to come across looking like I don't like the pistol. I do, but I am somewhat disappointed it failed. It is/was my CCW as my SR9 is a bit too big for that.

I agree, the csr wasn't even interested in the problem... never did ask. He asked which gun it was and said he would send me a shipping label. I'm no expert, but no gun should have a trigger this hard to pull. The gun should not supprise you when it does go off. I also hope S&W FIXES the...

In another thread about the .380 BG, it was stated they got their's back in 9 days.
