Why do you regret selling? I thought that the trigger on the bodyguard was so bad that it made it hard to shoot accurate, or maybe things changed since they first came out?I had one, one of the guns I regret selling...

I remember shooting it very well, sold it after I got a hammer less light weight J-Frame in .357 (can’t remember the model) most unpleasant handgun to shoot I ever owned, then ended up buying the same gun in a steel frame hoping it would be better... should have just never let go of the Bodyguard...Why do you regret selling?

Buy a variety of ammo.. BG is the most finicky gun I’ve ever owned. Dumped that thing quick couldnt trust that to perform as my EDC. I conceal my 365 just as easy nowI got it for the convenience of a pocket gun in some circumstances. Trigger is long but plan on training alot to get used to it.
I've owned a lot of pocket pistols and the BG380 is the only one I never even considered buying. The trigger feel is horrible, they're kinda chunky, and I keep reading posts about reliability/quality problems years after they first started popping up.
I have one also, got it for my wife, no way she could pull it. I have about 3000 rounds and 2000 dry fires in it and it's still tight. I keep it on my ankle, but also hope I don;t have to resort to it as a last option.
I really want a 1911 and have no idea why.
I think I was mistaken here, I was talking about a S&W Bodyguard revolver in .38 Special, a J-Frame with a shrouded hammer...Mine is indeed crap. Super long, which can be ok in some guns (Kahr comes to mind there), but it also has a lot of creep and grit, with a very unsatisfying break. Then there's the fact that when fully pulled, it feels like your trigger finger is in the palm of your hand, making the grip awkward. A lot of this can be worked out of the gun, but honestly, I never felt interested in it enough to do it. Add in light primer strikes and mine has been a safe queen after the first month shooting it. I got mine free though from a friend bringing me into shooting, so I can't complain too much.
Although, mine was also second hand, so who knows if I just have a beat up gun. I just disliked how the trigger made me almost break form/grip with how far back I had to pull in such a tiny gun.

Shame on S&W for recycling names like that and confusing us!Whoops! My fault. Should have backtracked further for context. I was talking about my BG380 semi auto, so what I wrote doesn't apply to your revolver (at least I have no experience with the revolver).
Been there. Did it. Worth it.I really want a 1911 and have no idea why.

I want to see someone here buy a Sig P365 and put a flashlight, laser, and RDS on the top of it. And then lecture us all about how larger handguns are
obsolete.
