That's a nice option but what I've heard from several people is those are illegal in MA. Something about being illegal to disguise a firearms into something it's not. Like a wallet.This is one of my options when carrying at the office.....View attachment 178967 Back pocket as a wallet carry. Inside sport coat pocket. No issues at all shooting. I even put it in a portfolio at meetings....No issues when shooting at the range.

I don't understand that holster. Why leave the trigger open?
Based on the level of failures ive seen with these guns I'd never carry one.... QC is horrendous. (much like the three mile long trigger pull. ) Wouldn't be a bad gun if the MSRP was like $150. Course there are guys here with pairs of them with no trouble. "your mileage may vary".

Any love for Bodyguard? No!

2) Right Profile, shows the Talon Grips
3) Williams Fire Sights
4) Bodyguard EDC, including Ted Cory Kydex Holster, Pocket Holster and A NeoMag (magazine clip)
5) A dime resting on top to show how thin it is.
6) The Bodyguard, Shield9 and M&P9 showing width comparison.
A review I did on the bodyguard along with an update (post #25)

I like the fact that law enforcement is adopting these for a bug. I've read that they disable the laser. I wonder why? S&W came out with the M&M sand laser for that reason I think. Thanks for the videos. I guess they can hit the broad side of a barn.
I just read you thread on your review. Nice write up. I think at some point I will upgrade to the Galloway trigger, but for now I'm just going to give it some range time. I may also pick up one of those rubber sleeves for the grip. It's like 80 grit sandpaper.
Good advice Terminator, thanks. I don't plan on doing the trigger right away. I may not even do it at all. I like the magazine upgrade for sure, but dry firing it, I don't think it's bad. I just picked up a Blackhawk #2 at BASSPRO for the time being. It covers the trigger guard which I like. I just bout a Galco Summer Comfort for my 642 and it is very comfortable. I will probably get one for the BG also. After some range time of course.
Yeah, I did really like the look of the Galloway trigger, but the kit does nothing to actually lighten the trigger weight, even though you end up with a lighter hammer spring, so I don't think that's a great idea, especially when there have been reports of light strikes even with the stock configuration when using certain ammunition. I forgot to mention that this is actually my second BG. My first was the original laser model, and as others mentioned it's kind of useless anyway. I traded that on another gun when I was short on cash, but regretted it because there really isn't much available (that's MA compliant), that is so thin, light, and concealable as the BG, and I quickly found that there were definitely situations that justified having it. When S&W came out with the non laser M&P version, I knew that would be the perfect replacement and I literally bought one the same week they became MA compliant. I don't shoot it a ton, mainly because in my area .380 either isn't readily available, or when it is, it costs twice as much as 9mm. I do run a couple of mags through it from time to time just to stay practiced with it.
I have carried mine this past summer in a DeSantis superfly holster. It works very well for me.View attachment 178988
the Desantis is stiffer so it clears the holster nicely.
