New Bodyguard 380 price?

Absolutely

Once I receive it I'll be heading to the range. I am a bit concerned also about the problems. I have owned many S&Ws revolvers and a couple of semi-autos, since 1975, and never had a misfire or a problem with a single one.
I did a phone check at Shoot Straight range here in Tampa and they were sold out. They had received a partial order of 15 with 35 back ordered. They were getting $525.00 for their special sale price. I asked about the LEO price and it was the same.....
 
I was planning on buying a Ruger LCP .380 until I read the reviews on the Bodyguard .380. Then I started pricing it online and found varying prices anywhere from $450 on up to $550 including Gunbroker. I wanted to avoid ordering it online to avoid the FFL fees involved. I went into my local Academy this AM to buy some ammo on sale and lo and behold there was the Bodyguard .380 for $423-it had just come in this AM and the only one they had-needless to say I bought it. Will be taking it out to the range later this week. The only bad part of the deal is that it only comes with 1 mag and additional mags won't become available (according to S&W) until the end of September. You would think a gun manufacturer like S&W would have produced a large number of additional mags for sale-I guess not!!!
 
I'm on the waiting list for one of these at my local Bass Pro Shop. They want $500, which honestly seems a bit on the high side.

I'm torn... I really want a Kel Tec P32 for a BUG.

For what they are asking I could spend a bit more and get a 340.
 
I paid $390.00 for mine with an LE discount and it has replaced both my LCP and Kahr P380 as my favorite pocket pistol. With 3 range sessions and over 600 rounds now it has been 100% flawless and just a great little pistol that I highly recommend.

Bought mine last week at Academy for $429 in East TN. Pricing at Sportsman Warehouse was $489 and $519 at a smaller gun store.
 
I was looking at one for my girlfriend last week and they were asking $550 for it. From just checking it out at the counter it seemed like a nice gun but a bit pricey, especially when I learned of the problems people have been having with theirs.
 
I was on two wait lists and they both bore fruit at the same time so I took both. Both in the $475 range in the Tampa Bay area.

I have since tried to divest of one and hit a stone wall. Seems many have googled, You tubed or what ever and said "with all those problems" NO THANKS !

Check your private message, I might be interested.
 
Appreciate all the responses

This has done two things, proved that the price is different depending upon where you shop and that there may be a few bugs that need clearing before purchase although one has proven to be reliable during 600 rounds. This has been very interesting and I thank you all for your participation. This never was scientific, just curiosity.
 
In AZ
$450 at the one i got it from
$499 at the one I held it at and picked that will be my next handgun
$524 at the range I shoot at.
