Read a post the other day recommending the following 380's: Sig P238, Beretta 84 which is now the Beretta 85 Cheetah. Browning now has a very nice 1911 380. These are larger framed, heavier than your LCP's and Bodyguards, but felt recoil should be a lot less! I see some posts above mentioning...

Thor - Yes. miniSQ has some good thoughts. I wouldn't convince yourself you have an issue just yet after only 100 rounds. I would keep in mind what miniSQ has suggested. If you have misfeeds, are they related to any one magazine or is it happening with both? Is it happening towards the middle of...

David - No way you have this fixed! You will be so bored now that you don't have anything to scratch the head about! :D Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS, I am so glad they finally figured it out! Now, with all of us reading your final fix, S&W will get many of them returned for the fix, as rightfully...

Elliot - TexasG doesn't say what 380's he has fired, so that might make a difference in his opinion. While both your Sig and Beretta 84 are great pistols, there is a huge difference in weight, especially if one were to compare them both to a Ruger LCP or a S&W Bodyguard. If I read the specs...

Gary - I hear what you are saying. I own both. From an appearance standpoint, I think the Bodyguard features and workmanship is far better than Ruger. Why then are people buying more LCP's? RELIABILITY, they go bang every time you pull the trigger! I had some issues with my M&P Bodyguard on our...

I asked someone once, "Is it true blondes have more fun?" and he replied, "oh, I don't know, it just makes the brunettes and redheads work that much harder!" How that relates to women and firearms, I haven't a clue! Just be very careful, this saying and the firearms could be very detrimental to...

Hi David - What's up with your two Bodyguards? I was curious if you and 1911 ever figured out why you were having all the problems. Let us know, thanks! - Rick

Terry - Nice shooting, what kind of ammo were you firing? Standard, high velocity?

David - Any updates as to progress on the Bodyguard? Sometimes, no news is good news! Let's hope that is the case here! Let us know! Thanks - Rick

Elliot - Very nice and I do like the trigger! You've got a nice piece there, enjoy shooting it! - Rick

We are all getting old, but, I'd like to know what Honda Accords and Subarus are hot enough to blow away the muscle cars you have mentioned! Maybe you ARE getting old and maybe it's been awhile since you have been in one of these muscle cars? Or, maybe 1917-1911M, you are just testing us to see...

Did you buy it? Great price, never seen them that low!

It was probably the best move you have made! I'm glad 1917-1911M was willing to help! I have been reading his posts on problems he has taken on with the LCP and when he purchased a Bodyguard, I knew it was only a matter of time before he would be taking it apart in a quest to make it better...

I sure hope you can help him. He has truly tried with all the returns and now the replacement pistol is giving him similar problems. When he told me he was working with someone over on one of the other forums that you two were conversing back and forth, I was hoping that someone was you! I am...

I couldn't agree more, add an R&D person and they might get an ear full!

Yes, I watched our LGS and saw him put some blue lock-tite on the screw threads. I do remember that!

I purchased a new Bodyguard last December for my wife. She wanted the Techna clip also which we purchased from our LGS and had him install it. It seems to be designed well, attaches to the frame via one of the frame pins which is replaced by the Techna clip pin. I can't speak for anything larger...

Any issues yet? I think if you fire a few boxes of quality ammo, keep the pistol clean and lubed (including the magazines) you shouldn't have any problems! I'm not a big one on buying after market upgrades for the firing mechanism. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!" I had some feed and...

I wasn't going to look at mine either, but I had to get it out to see if I had a MIM barrel or forged (another thread). My BG does appear that the hammer favors the right side, but not touching. The little that I will be firing this at the range, as long as it continues to fire, I'm not going to...

I've got KBVXXXX, 5/2014. No ridge on the top, 380 AUTO engraved on the top, BG 380 engraved on the side. From the above link, my barrel appears to be the forged. The sad part is, the BG 380 has had it's share of issues without this coming up. Why manufacturers continue to make these changes to...
