is there a smaller spring/s for the recoil spring on the .380 semi-auto bodyguard? This thing is wicked hard to pull back. It being tiny doesn't help much either.
I am not aware of any variant of spring available for the BG 380.
The slide on my BG 380 is very easy to pull back. The description of your effort makes me wonder if there is a defect with your gun. Now, the take down lever on my BG 380 - THAT was hard to move at first.
