BodyGuard 380 - ProMag 10 round magazine
I bought a ProMag 10 round magazine for my BodyGuard 380, haven't tried it yet though, does anyone else have one? Reliable?

Too bad you didn't do a bit of research before buying ProMag! The consensus, plus my personal experience is ProMag are basically a ***! After reading numerous posts universally condemning them as junk I thought I would order a couple to see for myself! I bought 2 S&W Model 39 magazines and both were absolute ****!!! Please note that I have been a practicing gunsmith on and off since 1964 when I graduated from what is regarded by many as the premier gunsmithing schools in the country. Trinidad State Junior College. It took just over 2 hours for me to make all the adjustments necessary to get both magazines to work properly!!!. The only thing that can be said about ProMag products is that they are CHEAP.

I have 2 Promag 17 round mags for my S&W 9mm.
They rub the sides of the mag well, but they do seat ok.
It is difficult to load the 17th round, but with effort, it will load.
They feed the rounds reliably.
I only use them at the range. I'd never use them for home or self-defense.
They're cheap. Not just inexpensive. Cheap.

Promags do have one useful function, range mags to practice failure drills.

And after the first use you have to do it all over again because the soft metal of the lips has warped again.

I have not seen an 8 or 10 round other than the ProMag garbage, but you can get an extra round using the kit from MagGuts or a +1 base plate.

Best magazines for an M&P Body Guard would be those 6 round stainless ones made Factory by S&W..
All others are rubbish..
