S&W Bodyguard

[Semper Fi]

Just picked up my new PD gun, a S&W Bodyguard. This little devil is only a .380, but I can palm it and nothing shows out the other side. Plus it has a built in laser site. The only drawback so far is the availability. Single stack and 7 shot, with one in the chamber, single action.

Nice, can you get ammo?

[Semper Fi]

Yes, but only the solids locally. My dealer tells me that that is the only kind available.....not so. I ordered hollow points from Sportsman's Guide at reasonable prices. I think Cheaper Than Dirt also had the hollow points.

I carry a Springfield Arms XD sub compact in 40cal.. love it.

I am carrying Glock 27 with extend magazine, and Kel-Tec KSG pump shotgun in my trunk, or either when I go camping or take a long trip with my trike, I always get my Mini UZI FA with four or five loaded with 9 mm fmj for protection.

My carry gun is Springfield XDS in .45 cal. Have started seeing some ammo around the area. Use Home Defense ammo from Hornaday.

Hornaday critical defense ammo feeds well in the SW 380. Other HP ammo with a knurled nose will hang on the feed ramp. At least that's what I've found to be the case with my SW. I've carried it for the past three years with 0 complaints.

I'm lookin at the S & W and also the Ruger LCP a very similar gun ammo is another story but "Cheaper than Dirt" or "Sportsman Guide" is a good resource.

Just picked up S+W Bodyguard .380. Bought the last 3 boxes of ammo they had. I'm not seeing any available at a decent price anywhere on line. Will check Sportsman Guide. <img src="images/smilies/thumbup.gif" border="0" alt="" title="" class="inlineimg" /> Tom <img src="images/smilies/trike 1 smilie.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Trike1" class="inlineimg" />

.380 Auto ammo is low but not scarce around here but has risen $6 per box of 50 target rounds in the past year. Hornady is available (limited on type) locally but about $3 higher per box of 20. <br />
Of course the obsessive compulsive Horders keep Wally picked clean of damned near everything. I see the same Usual Suspects hangin like ticks on a dog's ear in line every Friday morning when new Ammo is stocked while I am doing my weekly regular shopping. <br />

You will like the Bodyguard. Was 50/50 on it and the LCP when I ended up getting the Ruger.
