  William, the Bodyguard has a moderate racking effort slide Sir. It will get slightly easier with use and will benefit from a synthetic lube on the guide rails like Militec. Cheers and stay safe! https://www.militec-1.com/fire-arms

• Q: Did they ever upgrade the trigger for a better response.?

  • Asked 03/03/2019 18:26 by David K

  A:

  David - Unfortunately, not to my knowledge. Long, hard trigger pulls are just a fact of life on all these 380 mouse guns. It's just due to the geometry created by having to move all those parts in such a small confined space that prevents being able to get the leverage for a good trigger pull. The only way I've found to get a good trigger on the bodyguard is the kit from Galloway Precision. It makes the trigger 'tolerable' - you'll never get a 'target trigger' in one of these little guns. gallowayprecision.com/smith-and-wesson/bodyguard-380/short-stroke-trigger-kit-for-bodyguard-380/

• Q: When will the bodyguard 380 be avaliblke to everyone?

  • Answered
  • Asked 12/18/2017 16:33 by CHRISTOPHER T

  A:

  Reviews are recent so I would say fairly soon(as in a few weeks) Richard. This usually depends on the popularity of the firearm. Buds and other vendors usually place orders from distributors based on firearms "Sales" patterns. Buds will always try to restock firearms, especially "high demand" ones as quickly as possible. Since buds cannot give a specific time, just add the item to your "Wish List" and know that Buds is working diligently to get it.
