I shot at a LEO match outside of Boston yesterday and S&W was one of the vendors with a display. They had a couple of M&P15's, several M&P pistols, a few J-frames, the new BodyGuard duo, and a compact Pro Series 1911 on display. Great folks, generous, too, they donated a M&P rifle for the raffle - winner's choice, just pick the one you want from the catalog!!! Sadly, I did not win it.
Anyway, I was talking to the rep, telling him my S&W likes and dislikes and basically how I thought they should be doing things.
While looking over the BodyGuard .38 and complaining about the polymer construction I asked him when they were going to build a lightweight 9mm J-frame (as if) and he told me.....(drum roll please).....that they were coming out with a NEW 9MM BODYGUARD REVOLVER!!!!!!
First thing I wanted to know was when and he said to look for it around September!!! I was shocked and asked him again to be sure I heard him right, and yes, a 9mm BodyGuard revolver due out around September 2011.
So, for everybody (like me) that's been asking for a new 9mm J-frame we're finally going to get our wish. Don't know if it will be aluminum framed like the .38 or scandium or what, but he said it will be based on the polymer BodyGuard platform. I'll be buying the first one I can get my hands on, even though I have a custom scandium 9mm J-frame already.
Remember, you heard it hear first. I can't wait!
