S&W Bodyguard .380

Anyone have any experience with them?

I have one. Super heavy trigger pull, conceals very easily. I had to send it back for repair once after about 250 rounds the slide jammed back and wouldn't cycle. The first gen ones had an issue with a screw on the laser coming loose causing that to happen and it was supposed to be fixed but it was apparently the same issue on my later model. Now I just make sure that screws tight as part of my cleaning routine.

I have one and like it. Does have a long trigger pull but it's perfect packing pistol when out hiking and also good to keep in my nightstand.

I have a few and have hundreds of rounds through them.  They seem well built, not cheap like the Ruger or other similar pocket pistols.  The trigger is better then most pocket .380's, it is just long.  Pulling the trigger straight back is the key.  The pistol is also surprisingly accurate, I am able to clear plate racks with it at 10 and 15 yards.  I have shot them in "BUG Competitions" (Back up gun) and done very well.  The only issues I have had has been with cheap ammo but since the pistol is hammer fired, with a second trigger pull everything fired.

I have one and love it for conceal carry. My son currently is using it while I'm deployed overseas. Two weeks ago he had his hand on it in downtown Seattle while some whack job was threatening him and his coworkers the guy got lucky and moved along. Ditto on the long trigger. No issues yet with malfunctions or defects. I also find it very accurate, period. I find myself carrying more often because of the convenience of this little guy.

Great for easy pocket concealment. Not bad recoil for a pocket .380. Like others say LONG hammer pull. Short barrel so accuracy is OK for short range. I perfer my G27 but the .380 is much easier for CCW.

Bigger front pockets make for easier draw if that's how you'd carry in a pocket holster.

A coworker of mine was just showing me his the other day. How did he chose to display it but by flagging it across my abdominal area, loaded and chambered

If you're looking to buy one, I'd go compare it to a few others at a local shop. As others have said, small and easily concealed, but the trigger pull is heavy and long. I'm not planning on getting rid of mine, but sometimes think I may have bought too quickly and should have looked at more models. A conceal carry gun is going to be a very personal choice, so look at a bunch. The Bodyguard has been reliable and accurate enough for its intended purpose.

I carry mine everywhere the compact size is great and easy to conceal! On another note I sent mine back right after I got it and had them work on the trigger...it was WAY to long! When it returned it was much better. I just recently sent it back and had the laser replaced as it died on me. I would give it an 8/10 rating

I know I might be a little old, but can I be one of your dumb grandkids??? 
And any firearm would be ok by the way...

I got one for my wife and put a Galloway Precision trigger kit in it.  Night and day difference over stock.  Great little gun.
