[QUOTE="GMate 8281, post: 1192800, member: 12854"] I agree with the previous post. This is one well thought out gun. It includes the laser and manual safety which are good for new shooters, less experienced, or safety minded people. Many gun owners seem to be hyper paranoid, carrying loaded ready to fire for 50+ years seems highly possible to have an accident. The average civilian, I believe, wants some protection in certain circumstances and as it seems appropriate to have the chamber loaded and safety off will put the weapon in that condition. Most of us have lived 40 + years and never needed one and many people, I believe, prefer the manual safety and quick acquisition a laser may provide. I'm not referring to law enforcement or street thugs who deal drugs, I'm talking about average 25-75 year old people who don't frequent bars and inner city areas. If I'm in Walmart, school, or church ? and someone needs to be stopped my wife and/or I may ? have the time to remove the safety. If I was dumb enough to be a convenience store clerk I would carry a .45 bolted to the bottom of a 12gauge pump. I live in the suburbs and have a M&P 9c which seems too heavy for constant carry. In my opinion, S&W has found some new engineers or finally let them use some creativity to develop some great guns. My M&P is bulletproof with over 2000 rounds and 0 malfunctions and this Bodyguard .380I hope will allow me to carry constantly.
