Hello to all!
I happened upon this forum more or less by accident while trying to research different options for a carry gun. The Bodyguard .380 made the short list & an internet search led me here.
I'm not going to name the other possible contenders (since I feel that objectivity MAY be slanted a bit on a S&W forum...), but I really would appreciate an update on the issues discussed here with this pistol. I did read the "Report: Problems with new S&W Bodyguard 380" thread with interest, and it seems that S&W have addressed some or all of the issues mentioned. Is the latest model "fixed", or is there some work left to do? If the bugs are gone, which serial#'s are considered "non-beta"?
There aren't a lot of firearm dealers in my area & some could still have older, less bug-free stock still on hand.
I also own a 22A, which I bought earlier this year & really like! Mine has been problem-free except for a couple of FTFs in the first 20 or so rounds.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to picking the brains of the experts here & may even share some info/experience of my own if the occasion arises.

p.s. - Why aren't my smileys, etc. working????
