new for 2014 S&W M&P Bodyguard 380

I was told they'll be available following the shot show.

Which just ended, I think.

So keep checking your lgs

According to S&W web site, this gun is DAO hammer fired.
Why then the need for a manual safety?

I have an LCP. Putting it in a holster almost doubles the thickness of the gun. It has no safety just double action. I want the new M&P Bodyguard because it has a manual thumb safety. I plan to carry it in pocket or with a clip on the side IWB. Is it as reliable as the LCP?
The LCP has terrible sights but it goes bang every time (except for Tulammo).

I just bought the old one in Dec....the story of my life but I like the one I have so far after 100 rounds...just bought 3 more mags for it...kinda like buying a new cell phone...the day you buy it a new one that is faster and cooler is coming out

Wondering where you found the mags??????

My wife's older B.G. with laser has been flawless for 500 rounds using any .380 ammo I can find. Including tulammo.

Only thing we don't care about is the trigger pull. Its like 20#s, its not really that bad but it is a long stiff pull.

The wife likes hers enough she want to upgrade to the new version

Did they rework the trigger? I dry fired the older version today and the trigger feels like 12 lbs.

Howdy, first post here.

Funny, I finally got a hold of a trigger pull gauge and just tested my BG 380 this morning. Pulled it several times, and the result each time was off the end of the 8lb gauge. If the gauge is linear, then it's a little over 10lb.

Anyone know what the spec is on these? If it's out of spec I'll send it back. I did send it back after I first bought it, asking them to make the trigger pull easier since my wife couldn't use the gun. They sent it back and said that they don't do trigger jobs on the gun (yet). But if it's out of spec I think it's a different deal, right?

All guns will vary in trigger pull even if they're the same model. It's just how it is with manufacturing. There are trigger kits you can buy for the BG380 that will lower the trigger pull though. And they are nice because you can always swap it back and return to stock.

I have had the new BG on order for over a month now. Hope it comes in soon.

I do not like DA only pistols, but I need a pocket pistol to carry on the farm, tractor and mower. I am not going to carry my stainless PPK and take a chance on it being lost or damaged. I looked at all of the .380 pocket pistols, the Bodyguard w/o laser is my favorite in it's price range. Better then the Ruger, Beretta Pico, Taurus, etc. So unless I find a good used PPK cheap, I think I will buy one.
