I just ordered a MP Bodyguard .380 w/ the green Crimson Trace laser. It is a pretty new model and am trying to see if anyone else has one and has found a pocket holster that would work?

it looks like it has different dimensions than the original integrated laser BG .380, so I didn't think those holsters would work either.

A little stumped, and ideas? Thanks!

Product: M&P BODYGUARD® 380 Crimson Trace® Green Laserguard®

Update 1/14: The DeSantis Nemisis holster for the standard .380 Bodyguard with the integrated model would not fit it at all, it still had about 3/4" to seat all the way and it was way to tight. If you guys see another model that would work maybe for a different gun even feel free to let me know, thanks again!

I have the old model with the original laser. I have looked at the new ones. The dimensions are in my opinion the same. I use a sticky holster for pocket carry. I have the desantis also but I find that the rear sight hangs on the holster. the sticky works way better.
 
Don't know about the new models, but if you're looking at leather wallet holsters you can try Uncle George's and Red Dog Gunleather. Both are great quality holsters. Contact them both and they should be able to give you a yea or nay.
 
Walmart sells Blackhawk pocket holsters for about $10. You could probably go up a size and it might work ok. I use a size 3 without a laser so a size 4 might work. Probably not the best pocket holster...but cheap and easy until you get something better.

This is what I bought and no issues.

Thanks for all the recommendations! I will report back when I pick it up and find something that works.
 
I have a Bodyguard 380, no laser. I use a Desantis Nemesis. Not sure if they make one for your model. But, I recommend that holster.

You might call Remora Holsters and see if they have something which would work or if they would make something which would work.
 
I have an LCP with that laser (although it's red) Cross breed holster and I use the techna clip most of the time.
 
The Desantis N38 works with or without the laser.

No need to order a different version for one or the other.

Any word on this? I'm running into the same issue with finding a pocket holster for this model - most of the ones I see fit the CTC red laser, but not the green laser.

The nemesis for the original bodyguard with the laser was a no-go, too tight. I also tried the Tuff Jr-roo size 12 holster with no luck.

I ened up with a nemesis for the LC9 for now which is too big but stays put for the most part. I will replace it with the correct nemesis when it comes out or I would like a little leather pocket holster if I can find one.
 
Just a side note ,we just got a new BG and on the 2nd. box of ammo it jammed. Could'nt pull the slide all the way back to clear it!. The little screw that holds the lazer in place backed out and caught the slide. It bent the screw. Have to send it back to S&W already. So check that the screw on yours is snug!!
 
Pocket holster for new Bodyguard 380

I have had one of the new bodyguards for about a week now, and I am having the same problem. Everything I have found so far is for the model that activates the laser on the side of the front side of the trigger guard. Mine crimson trace came on the pistol and is the green laser that attaches around the trigger guard and has the activation button under the guard on the front of the grip.

This makes the holsters that are designed to use the trigger guard as a molded security feature too narrow for the front of the trigger guard. I have purchased a Galco holster for pocket use at Amazon. Model J159L. It was a reasonable price and fits well except that narrow space in front of the trigger guard keeps it from going into the holster. It makes it about 1" too short.

I am thinking of taking the holster to a shoe shop and having him let out the seam in front of the trigger. I would then rewet the holster a mold the gun into it. Will see if it works
 
I just picked up my green BG380 begining of the month and same issue. i have a Remora for my PM9 and love it, but it really isnt designed as a pocket holster

i've heard really good things about Mika holsters so i shot him an email, he replied that he has ability to make it and its currently in progress. i will take pics as soon as its received with initial impressions!
