I have one of these little BuGs too. Mine has been nothing but accurate and pretty solid too. Just this weekend I was hitting a 12x14 inch steel plate at 50 yds 9 out of 10 times. I can think of nothing wrong with this little gun. I guess if i had to find something i would have to say that the laser is a cat toy at any range other than the 7yds its designed for.

I agree on the laser... pretty much useless past a few yards...

My mother-in-law bought one of these a few weeks ago. It's a good little shooter but nothing I could trust my life with. No fault of the gun, but I have big, wide hands and the with Body Guard, like most other micro-compact pistols, my hands let the little bugger move around too much and I ultimately end up hitting the mag release with my right thumb under recoil. it DOES shoot real nice till I dump the mag on the ground though!

Do you notice a similar issue with the S&W as there is with the LCP and having the tendency of your thumb sliding over the mag release upon recoil? I have an LCP and have been thinking about switching to the S&W for this reason. Or, just go a different route all together to the .327 Fed revolver.

Wish I would have seen this earlier. My girlfriends father just got her this gun and so far she likes it. It puts out quite a punch and is pretty accurate.
