Say hello to my little friend!!

Postby bluelens on Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:54 pm

..and I mean very little. Slightly over 11 oz. Only 14 oz loaded. The S&W Bodyguard 380, new for 2010. Comes with built in integrated laser from Smith & Wesson. Target style sights that are very accurate. In fact, best iron sights I have seen it the pocket pistol class. This model just came out and I have ran about 100 rds of mixed ammo through it without any problems. Intended for a BUG or deep concealment gun when it is very hot out. Hard to carry my 1911 in the summer, but I still rely on my 38 special stubby with this as back up. When fall comes, it's back to the larger calibers.

$460 for the gun. More importantly, 380 ammo is available again and under $20 a box for the first time in two years.

Why the heck did they put an external safety on it?

Better yet, why did they put a dime on top of the slide? :? :? :?

It's a TINY little button. If you've tried to use a LCP's slide lock to get it open ... the Bodyguard's safety is only marginally easier than that.
