I would say try diff ammo. My body guard will jam like crazy on fiottchi ammo and my buddies runs it fine. Best I can do with mine was find ammo it liked and only use that for carry.

Not the first time i've heard of light strike issues with Blazer in a BG.
So as the poster above suggests, try a different ammo. |

Are you putting any oil in the firing pin channel?

Hickok45 on youtube had a ludicrous number of light strikes with the bodyguard. I was very interested in the weapon until I saw that.

Not a lot of mass in that hammer. Softer primers or heavier spring.

Mine would do that with Armscor ammo really bad. I had some Golden Sabres it worked with OK. I want to say it worked OK with Rem. green box too.

I guess I'm lucky then.
So far, no issues with federal, aguila, american gunner, precision one, ppu, underwood.... |

Mine has only done it with silver bear and PPU. PMC Bronze, Gold dot and Critical Defense are fine.

It's a known problem. They will fix it. They fixed both of mine.

Why do you carry a gun that you only have 250 rounds through?

It is definitely ammo related, even more its primer related
When I first started reloading for my bodyguard I used Winchester primers. I had light strikes a lot! I switched to federal primers and have not had a single light strike since then. I use cci primers for everything now except 380, I still stick with federal primers because they're known to be softer. |

I went to a new range with my wife over the weekend so she could get some time with her Bodyguard. We used some cheap .380 ball for the most part and it was wonderful for practicing failure drills. When we switched to Hornady FTX ammo the problem magically disappeared. It's 100% with good ammo, not so much with the cheap stuff.
We didn't have any light strikes but lots of FTF on the last round. Remington green box doesn't do it but I believe we used some Tula and it was horrible. Yeah, at this point I'd bet her life on the Bodyguard with good ammo. |
