Hi All,

I searched though the forum but couldn't find this problem anywhere. I have a Bodyguard .380 with the built-in Insight laser. The problem that I'm having is that the laser keeps turning on in the holster. I have two DeSantis form fitted Kydex holsters. One is the 070 "Intimidator" scabbard style (see picture), the other is a DeSantis IWB Kydex holster.

Even when I can get it into the holster without the laser turning on (I usually have to put it in while ON so it turns OFF when I slide it in), it will turn back on through the course of normal movement.

Has anyone had this happen to them? If so, what did you do? I find myself using a looser-fitting leather belt-holster with a thumb-snap which I don't like as much because it slides around on my belt. I'd like to use the kydex ones, but can't.

Nothing says "concealed" like a red dot following you on the floor behind you everywhere you go...:D

I pocket carry my no laser .380 in a Remora sticky holster. You might try that in a softer pocket holster, just an idea.
 
Hi OC, yes, I actually have one of those soft pocket holsters as well- and it doesn't set off the laser. However, I don't like it as much when I'm wearing loose-fitting slacks. The pistol is relatively light, but it still makes the seat of my pants swing back-and-forth like a baby with a full diaper.
