    M&P bodyguard purchase- laser vs no laser

    I got the M&P BG without the laser, not because lasers are bad but because the button is bad. Its requires your off hand to turn on and its not exactly useful in a draw. I am looking at getting the grip activated laser though for it, being the sites are only semi-useful and mostly useless in...

    1,000 round shield report

    I'm not a fan of the shields sights but they are good enough for CCW for me. I don't miss, I just don't get that ultra grouping ego boost. The only issue I've had were two light strikes from the same box of whitebox ammo, and lately I've had the slide not rack back on the last shot...

    Picked up a new Shield for Wife and she doesn't like it

    Yea I missed that post, glad she likes the 42. They do make a kit for the BG but personally I LIKE the trigger pull for what amounts to a pocket pistol. I think of it as a safety being it would take multiple errors to ND a BG. From what I gather the mag issues etc were with the original BG...

    Picked up a new Shield for Wife and she doesn't like it

    I too live in the Peoples Republic of Illinois and my wife wants to carry. I have a shield which shes does well with but she really liked the 9c. Turns out the 9c is too big for her to really carry unless she wants to dress kinda "sloppy" for a woman so shes thinking the shield for herself or...

    Anyone here go from a Shield to a Compact?

    I have both the shield and 9c, and the shield is easier to carry. I find my accuracy with both almost identical, and neither are going to be missing at CCW ranges. I don't like to wear extra baggy clothes so its the shield for me. I'm really loving that gun.

    Bodyguard 380: Finally Reliable!

    I got a BG about 3 weeks ago and I'll just count myself lucky but I've have NO issues with WB, or any other ammo I fed it so far (400 rounds as of today).

    M&P9c failure to feed?

    Only issue I've had with the 9c is whitebox will sometimes not rack the slide back on the last shot (it still fires and ejects). I've had the same problem with my shield using the same batch of ammo, and never even had an issue with whitebox before. So far its eaten everything else nicely.

    M&P Bodyguard 380, trigger finger pain

    Honestly I don't even think about it, so I'll have to look into it my next trip to the range. I'm hoping its something simple. The hard trigger pull doesn't bother me much dry firing, and I've done a lot of it, but with the kick of a real round, something is smashing my finger.

    M&P Bodyguard 380, trigger finger pain

    I have the new, laser free BG 380, and I really like it over all. Yea its got a long trigger pull, but its small and it hasn't had a single issue with 3 brands of cheapo ammo and 350 rounds. No FTF, no FTE's no light strikes, so I'm happy there. What is getting me though is as I type this my...
