Does the old bodygaurd magazines fit the new M&P 380? Are they the same magazine ?

Post #27 in the linked thread let me think that they fit old/new bodyguards equally. In other words, old/new mags are interchangeable.

They're basically the same pistol minus the crappy laser and what feels to be a better trigger.

Thanks for the info.

I have only handled the Ruger LCP (son-in-laws) and while it shoots fine the trigger pull is the tipping point for me. I don't mind long and I don't mind heavy but put them both together and it's a bit much. From what I've heard without personally handling one (grain of salt) the Bodyguard trigger is similar. If you think the trigger is better on the new M&P version I may have to see if I can locate one and check it out. I'm glad they dropped the laser!

The LC series triggers suck. Plain and simple. I owned an LC9 for one week and now use a Shield for every day carry. The new bodyguard has a better trigger. Find a shop that rents out guns or come to ours and see.

If you follow the advice to try old and new BG380 triggers side-by-side, please report your findings.
Most reviews I've seen online say a trigger is unchanged
