Hi everyone. I saved up my money & went to my local dealer & got the bd380 I've been waiting to get.... they only had 1 left, the displayed model so I bought it anyway. When I got home I noticed it only came with 1 clip? Is this normal? my other semi's all came with 2.... I also noticed couple of other concerns.. 1.the right laser does not work right? ... 2.the clip it came with looks used(the plastic orange seat had black wear marks on it. Man.. I should have taking my time to inspect it before I spent my hard earned money!!! I 've checked out the gun before at another location & it was great(everything worked). It was Sat evening & I bearly made it to the dealer before closing, I want it to have the gun to play with over the weekend so I rushed & bought it without checking it throughly...

I wouldn't worry about the mark on the magazine follower. The gun was "test fired" at the factory, probably with that same magazine. The mark cleans right off with whatever gun cleaning solvent you prefer. You should clean your magazine(s) anyway.

The BG380s have a chronic problem with the laser buttons. Try tugging out the gray button with your fingernails, rotating it about 15 degrees, and then reinserting it. Check the activation of the laser. If it still doesn't work, repeat the process until you find the "sweet spot" where the little rubber nubbin inside the button is hitting the laser contact in just the right spot. Neither of the laser buttons on my BG380 is great, but, on the other hand, neither activates accidentally either.
 
380 Magazine

Mine came with one magazine. In one of the gun magazines, there is an article that states the BG comes with 2 magazines. I called S&W and was told that 1 magazine is what the come comes with.
 
I have seen it where sometimes to make the gun more attractive and sell it at a lower price, some dealers will remove one of the magazines. I can't remember how many came with mine as I now have 6 magazines total :p I hope this helps. God Bless :)

I spent 4 years in the marines and was never corrected.

Welcome to the internet. Prepare to be correct every single time, you use the word "clip" when you talking about a magazine.

Wow that is really hard to believe. I was in the US Army and our Drill Instructors drilled it into our head that it was called a magazine and not a clip and that our M16 was either called our weapon or rifle, never call it a gun. :eek: I would have thought the Marines would be just as hard on their trainees in correcting them. God Bless :)
 
When chatting in a form, it good to use the correct terminology just for the sake of clarity. I'm 58 and and still learning.
