Hell yea to the 365, have owned the bodyguard in both the revolver and semi.I owned one so did my wife.. we both sold them. Trigger sucks. Ammo picky they just don’t eat everything like a good EDC should. Mine hated all hollow points. They are cheap for a reason save your pennies buy a sig 365 it’s not much bigger but a helluva lot more gun

Someone gave me a new one several years ago. I shot it and hated it. Sold it immediately. I've owned lots of guns, I know what I like, I didn't like the BG. Fast forward to January 2020, something got me spooked and feeling like I should be carrying all the time. Normally when I carry, I carry a S&W 638, but it's not all the time. So in January I bought myself a gun I hate because it's small enough that I'll carry it all the time.
This, I owned both. Sold the BodyGuard kept the Ruger and carry it regularly..... And mine is only an LCP not the LCP II still like it A LOT better than the BG.....I’d say if you can find one in MA at a decent price, the Ruger LCP II is a much better pistol all around at the same size and generally (in a free state) the same cost. Much better trigger as well. I’ve had mine for about 3 years now and it’s been a great little pocket gun with no issues.
I hate to say it, but the BG380 is the worst firearm S&W ever made (and that includes its awful shotguns). Grip too short, awful trigger, kicks like a mule. Darn near impossible to hold the sight on target while you wait for the trigger to break. The Ruger LCPII is the class act of this type (plastic, small enough to pocket in jeans) for less money. The SIG 238 is a MUCH better pistol but you do pay for it and if you're left-handed, you have to get the more expensive Legion edition to get an ambi safety.
