I do love the Bodyguard and will probably get one for the girlfriend (she wants a gun with a safety) when they are more available and back on sale.
uh.... you realize you don't have to carry with the safety on right?

Been shooting this thing alot. Its pretty damn accurate for such a short barrel. The sights on it are decent. Hard to make out sometimes but teh laser is **** for the ranges this thing is designed for. I am looking at getting some night sights for it though. No one makes any but I'm pretty sure I've found some that will work...

Martin, Have you had the chance to shoot these pocket guns? Good sight picture and good trigger pull is non-existent. They are all like that. You really gotta work for it...

I have a PARA ORDNANCE P-12 with a 3.5 inch barrel that will shock you with it's accuracy, also had a DETONICS POCKET 9 with a 3 inch barrel & gutter sites & the bullet would hit point of aim up to 20 yards after that it shot low

That's a 3.5" barrel... a good bit longer then the barrel in the BG380's 2.75.
