Now that Gen 2.0 has been out, I am curious how many people still EDC the original Bodyguard .380.
I still use mine for warm weather EDC (because it has little to no profile in my pocket) and have done so since they were first introduced.
The only repair I had to do was to replace the polymer mag release with a new steel one. Other than that, it has been good as gold.

I'm sticking with mine. I couldn't wait for the BG2 to come out. But then when it finally did, and I read reports of that 4-5 pound striker action trigger pull, then compared the size to my BG1 on Handgun Hero and saw it was a tad longer and taller, I had second thoughts. Took mine to the range about three weeks ago and shot it out to 25 yards, like I always do. I shoot mine very well, I have confidence in it, and I'm very comfortable pocket carrying it in my Mika holster with the safety off. I'm going to pass on the BG2 with its extra four rounds. I've grown comfortable with 6+1. I carry it every time I leave the house, even to work on my property. And I too replaced the plastic mag release with the steel version, just as a preemptive measure.
