OK, I just was thinking about this. I have noticed that mine is perfect with some and just doesn't get it with others. WWB - zero issues (about 200 rounds) Remington - zero issues (50 rounds) PMC - zero issues (200 rounds) Hornady Critical Defense - zero issues (only 10 rounds) Herters - about...

Been looking but I can't seem to find the information. What is the twist (rifling) in the BG 380 barrel?

I had that issue for a short time but after a few in and outs with the mag it goes with no problem now. I also have an aftermarket mag (can't recall the name) and it took a bit longer to "break-in" but it too now goes in without making the mag release. Calling S & W will not hurt but I really...

What is the best way to clean the firing pin channel? Do you need to do a full strip of the slide assembly and remove the firing pin or can you do a good cleaning with just a field strip? I'm sure things get gunked up pretty good in there so I was wondering if anyone has a few tricks in regard...

OK, I am not one to complain but this kind of got to me today. Have put over 600 rounds through the BG 380 with not one failure of any kind. No FTE, FTF, slide lockback issues...nothing. In that 600 rounds I have shot; PMC Bronze, Sellier & Bellott, Remington, Winchester White Box, Hornady...

Small guy with small hands...I have no issues with the trigger. Mine breaks pretty far back in the guard and it is heavy as heck but, I like it. The gun shoots very well and I am extremely comfortable carrying it. Just my 2 cents.

Just a note: Got my BG 380 in mid-June S/N: KAKXXXX. Have about 350 rounds through it with absolutely no issues. No laser screw problems, no FTF/FTE, no slide problems. Everything has been great and the gun shoots extremely well with really good accuracy. I love carrying and shooting this...

Just a few observations on shooting the Bodyguard 380: Now, I've only shot about 75 or 80 rounds through it so I've got quite a ways to go before I can really make any judgements but, so far so good. There have been a number of posts with people complaining about the trigger pull but, frankly...

Thanks everyone, for the welcome and the suggestions - makes one feel good. I ended up getting a DeSantis Pocket-Tuk which I got for very little outlay. It came today and I've been wearing it, since. Feels nice and comfortable and seems to hold the Bodyguard real well. Shot a few mags of WWB...

It sounds like it's the follower on the mags. It is not fun to have happen but it is not totally unheard of with different guns and mags. S&W should be able to rectify this rather easily.

Just picked up a BG 380 and am looking for holster suggestions (probably an old topic I am sure). I prefer IWB, and tuckable if available, but would consider pocket also, though I am small and thus...small pockets. I have concerns that certain holsters might be more apt to trigger the laser so...
