I have one and I really like it. This is a very accurate gun. I also found out it's very easy shoot. If you want to go to my YouTube channel I have a couple videos on it.

From looking at your videos, it looks like yours is the original Bodyguard 380. The M&P Bodyguard 380 is a new version without a built in laser. Enjoyed your videos!

Looks like the original without the laser. I never was fond of the ioriginal as I don't like having to find the button for the laser. Prefer CT products with laser in the grip, if I wanted a laser on a gun. For the record I don't want any laser on my guns.

I've been debating the need for lasers (for me). I don't need one for EDC but I'm considering one for my bedroom gun for when it's dark thru the house and I'm just waking up and having a hard time focusing. I don't know the answer to that one yet.

Good point........I think it would work great as a bedroom gun when things go bump in the night.... 8)

In my opinion, you need to concentrate on getting some adequate lighting to go along with your weapons. The most important thing to me in a confrontation in my home would be identification of the "target".

I doubt that I would ever choose to shoot at an unidentified target. Once the target is reliably identified, I doubt that any sighting tools (sights or laser) would be necessary if the weapon points well at the short distances in my home. My pistols all fit my hands in such a way that using point-shooting techniques at in-home distances works very well.

Do you have a monitored house alarm?

I have one of the first rounds of BG 380's and went thru 2 lasers before it was
correct. Love the gun. I wish it had a tritium front sight is all. The new model
looks good. reliable lil gun.
