M&P Bodyguard 380 & Self Defense Ammo

[mrmike7189]

the glock disassembly tool is the perfect size and it costs like $3

My $0.02 on the Bodyguard trigger is LEAVE IT ALONE.

If you ever have to use that thing for the purpose for which it was designed, the very last thing you will be thinking is "I think this trigger could use some improvement."

The only thing you will be thinking is "I hope I can draw, point, and fire before this guy shoots/stabs/tackles me."

I use Hornady Critical Defense ammo.
Good stuff. 100% sure fire.

My thoughts exactly. I even use the same ammo. There is some version of Hornady self defense ammunition in any of the pistols that I keep loaded.

If you do the research you will find that most defence loads when shot threw 4 layers of denim they plug up and do not perform well in the 380 the best one hands down mushrooms and penetrates well are the Federal HST followed by Hornady XTP. The HST is the best in short barrel 9 mm also. I have done my own testing also to confirm results. Widow

I bought a new BG .380 about six weeks ago. The two mags that came with it were defective - in one the cartridges wouldn't feed into the mag without jamming, and the other wouldn't load into the weapon with six rounds, but ok with five rounds.

It sent them to S&W and they FedExed me two replacements, which were stolen at FedEx.

S&W sent two more - defective.

I bought two at local store and they were fine.

S&W sent two more - defective.

S&W sent four more and they are ok.

Recap: six defective mags and six good mags, i.e. 50% defective. They are "outsourced" to an American firm. Pizz poor quality control.

To make things worse I bought it just before the rebate period started.

If I were you I would forego buying any lottery tickets.

Good advice. For a while I was receiving a mag/day via FedEx.

Hello all;

Has anyone figured out how to make the trigger pull easier, quicker, more sensitive. I guess if I were in a situation it would do the job but to practice with it sure doesn't build confidence in the pistol.

I figured out how to make the trigger better.
Just keep shooting it. Mine is so much better after 500 rounds than when I first got it.

This may not help at ll but Underwood Xtreme Penetration 90gr .380 penetrated to 17 1/2" 5 out of 5 times during my ballistic gel testing with heavy winter wear. That is what I carry in all my .380's. I carry Federal HST 124gr Standard pressure in all my 9mm's.

I use Underwood 9mm Xtrene defender in my self defense carry. It's a bear. The 380 is great too. If I carried 380 I would use it.

My clip goes in easily with 5 rounds but needs a little bit of a pop with all six. At the range today, ai noticed it goes in with no problem and six rounds when the slide is open
