Bodyguard 2.0 issue

evening all! I have a new bodyguard 2.0 that runs like a top…one small issue…when there is a loaded magazine the slide will stay partially locked back if it's pushed to the rear…a slight tap forward on the slide fixes it…I'm assuming the magazine is pushing tightly against the slide…anyone hear of this or have a solution? Thanks in advance!

There is a YouTube video from a guy who had trouble loading mags past 2-3 rounds. He has a fix for it. This may be the issue you are dealing with as well......here's the link:

When I do press check, there is definitely friction between the slide and the round in the top of the mag.
The movement is not smooth, it's a little gritty.

Try loading your magazine with nickel-plated (brass case) .380 ammo ... Nickel-plated cases sometimes make the difference in revolvers where sticky cases in the cylinder cause extraction issues. Might just be enough to reduce the friction here, against the slide, as well.

Hi, just bought A Bodygaurd 2.0. I've only run 800-900 rounds through it. This won't help but, I've had zero problems what so ever. Hands down, best pocket pistol I've ever owned. Sorry I couldn't be any help.

I've got about 400 through mine, zero galor failures, just the press check issue…really great little gun

I searched and didn't find a good solution, it's not the main spring and removing rounds doesn't help, and all mags do it

Try cleaning and lubricating the slide. On some handguns it doesn't take much to keep the slide from cycling properly. When you say it's not the recoil spring, how can you be sure? Have you tried a new one?

When it sticks on a press check and it goes closed with some pressure when you push it closed what is the problem if it functions when you shoot it?

Good question, here's a scenario were it could really matter… placing it back in the holster the slide gets pushed slightly out of battery, when I draw the gun to defend my life I pull the trigger and it goes click…

That is certainly a valid concern.
However, IF the holster is creating that much force against a closed slide (especially a BG2 slide) while inserting it into the holster, the holster is NOT properly designed!

Regarding the very popular "it's gotta break in", if it takes 500 rounds to break in, meaning that the firearm is NOW working properly, something is radically wrong with the design, tolerances, or quality control.

To me, requiring 500 rounds to get my defense carry working reliably and flawlessly is total Bravo Sierra!

I understand that a mechanical device, and a firearm, may require ammo type analysis, smoothing of heavy contact surfaces, manual safety switching, trigger smoothing, or chamber ramp smoothing, before it is operating more comfortably, BUT if my new firearm is NOT working flawlessly after 100 rounds it is going to be inspected, gunsmithed, fixed, or changed out, before it will be my defense carry.

My Body Guard 2.0 is the ONLY firearm I have purchased that did NOT work properly out of the box. Why?

I agree with everything you said, if I get a new gun and it doesn't fire flawlessly in the first hundred rounds or so I'm out….
