Smith & Wesson New Bodyguards

[Zombie]

that's interesting a lot of change and things I am on the fence about

WTF?? Did someone slap the desgine with the ugly stick before sending it to production?

Yes, and they even used a HiPoint safety....

I actually think the .380 could be a great pistol. A pocket carry .380 with a built in laser would be something I'd be interested in seeing.

It also looks like it might have some of the best sights in the .380 class of pistols.

But I'd have to agree about not being a fan about the revolver. I don't want to "unlearn" and then "relearn" how to work a top cylinder release.

I agree on the changed manual of arms, but im looking at it from a different perspective. For those with no established knowledge, this would be a better system to learn. Ambidextrous is nearly always better.

I like trhe .380

Just personal opinion. The looks don't bother me, I perfer function over looks. That being said, in a self defense gun, I personally have no use for 1) a laser, 2) 380acp, 3) an internal lock.
So the Bodyguards are a strike out for me.

i like the integrated laser, this product is not marketed for the super gun enthusiast

Why do they gotta put crap on it... it's fine as it was.

I agree. Although, the lock, I couldn't care less about... my 638 has it, but I don't even notice it.... and obviously, I don't use it.

How does the .380 size compare to the Ruger LCP? Kinda looks like Smith is going after some of the Ruger market to me.
