Get one and figure out the sites with a lot of shooting so you know how it shoots. It is a good gun from what I have seen. Not much experience on snubbies. Although I have a 2" .357mag I need to put some rounds though to know if I want to keep it with me when i am at home walking around.

I got one it's my carry gun most of the year and been that way for Atleast 3 years without a single issue. Great gun in my experience.
Probably my favorite feature is that it's a J frame sized gun with a full length ejector rod. This will let you get a nice positive extraction on deformed cases or dirty chambers. Only cons are really that grip options are limited and the trigger pull, while not actually a negative, feels quite different than a standard revolver. |

I have one & love it. I carried in my pocket when I went out on night calls in the projects. Slim, LW & accurate. I keep it loaded with +P ammo but shoot wadcutters for practice.

Are you talking about the current model bodyguard or the original (awesome) model 38 or 49?
It's hard to beat the old J-Frame for a close in pistol. |

Quoted:
Did not get too much feedback on the S&W forum so let me ask on the revolver forum. Does anyone have a S&W Bodyguard 38 Revolver? Shot my buddy's and it seems like a nice, light revolver. My only issue was that it shot high for me. In any case, I am thinking about picking one up. Any cons? Any concerns about durability? Thanks, Don They are usually sighted in with 158 gr bullets. Not sure is that is still the case. Lighter +P ammo might be the cause for this |

I have one. I replaced the front site with a Big Dot and I have really enjoyed it as a carry piece. Light and small and reasonably powerful.
