    Trigger pull = 12 - 13 pounds My measured pull is 12.5lbs dry fire and test fired. Both the same: "like rowing a boat" as once noted.

    NEW BODYGUARD 380 TRIGGER KIT

    A couple of months have passed and haven't heard anything new. Galloway Precision is not taking phone calls because they don't have time, so where can they find the time to get a new product to market. I'm having some doubts about a BG380 trigger kit anytime sooner than next year, if at all...

    Bodyguard spitting out unfired cartridge

    I cannot imagine how a "cold" magazine could eject a shell. I've got to believe the empty cartridge is ejected as a live round is feeding up the magazine and pops out too. The next round in the magazine actually feeds into the chamber, is my guess. Count the rounds as they're fired and how...

    Report: Problems with new S&W Bodyguard 380

    Sounds like a wimpy spring or debris in the slide release such that it has occasional random operation. Thoroughly clean and lube the slide release such that it moves easily and fully into the notch in the slide. Be sure the slide can move freely all the way back, everytime, to allow the slide...

    New BG380 Owner, Help

    I've had a BG380 for about a week and put 100 rnds through it. Great pistol with none of the problems mentioned on forums. However, it is killing my trigger finger, bruising the lower side around the joint. It's like the bone is getting whacked hard from the recoil. Damn! It still hurts...

    M&P 22 12 round mags in stock-Out of stock 3/18

    Looks like MSRP is $32. Ebay has dropped from $90 down to $60 (more expected) and lots of mags for sale there. It looks like the panic is subsiding, gun grabber - assault weapons ban is failing, NY ban is being challenged in court, and the pendulum is swinging. I called S&W and ordered 4 but...

    Picked up a M&P 22

    The M&P22 is GREAT!!! Lotts'a fun, ammo is tight but try "gunbot.net" if you can sit next to a computer all day (it's addictive so be careful). Spent many hours in the last 2 weeks looking for mags - now have 6 from a local dealer that happened to pick up 20. By the time his order went in...

    Report: Problems with new S&W Bodyguard 380

    I bought mine Mar 15, 2013. The store had received several recently and, rather than use the demo, I had them demo the one I planned to buy (new out of the box). When I saw the SN was KAF that was definitely the ONE for me. The guy behind the counter had a heck of a time field stripping it...

    S&W bodyguard 380

    I saw that problem because the magazine follower had a little bit of resistance at the end of travel. I caused the problem when I took it apart. I realized the problem after the magazine bottom and spring was removed. When the follower was allowed to slide down the upside down magazine...

    M&P 22 12 round mags in stock-Out of stock 3/18

    Went to GOG and setup an account by starting an order for on an in-stock gun then logged out to cancel the transaction. That got me an account and username/password. Did some searches and tried selecting my fav. gun shop and wasn't listed. Called him only to find out he had 20 12rd mags in...
