Late night....got to thinking about it....this thread has to be a record of some type.........
I know folks have drifted their own threads before, but how many have began the thread with a drift.... BEFORE posting the actual subject information?

This is Hall of Fame material, guys.

Indeed, starting with a crack addict...... . Still, it is appropriate. What will these do that the J frames won't other than have lasers? It must be something, but the ads don't show it. Yeah, they are Smith, small and have lasers. They are better than Ruger why? I don't doubt they may be, but the ad didn't exactly excite me to go try one. On the other hand, the fifty dollar off on a J frame did. Gee, I might be an old fart.

And? how much? Whats the trigger like? Your impressions?
FQ13

We have it at $530.  We don't have it on the range so I have not shot it.  I have handled it many times this week.

Personally I would buy a J-frame and add CT laser grips.  It is DAO.  The cylinder release if where the hammer would be but because it is located there it is ambidextrous.  The laser has to be turned on manually.  Press the button and the laser turns on.  Press it again and the laser pulses.  Press it again and it goes off.  There is no pressure switch like CT.

The trigger is just OK for a DAO.  I think the Ruger LCR trigger is lighter but the Bodyguard trigger is a bit shorter.

But of course this is just my opinion.  Others may rave about it.

Handled one at a gun shop last week. The laser can be a bit awkward to turn on with the right hand, because you have to put the thumb on the opposite side of the gun from where it would be with a firing grip. Makes it a little slower to turn on with the right hand. Not hard to do, though. And even easier with the left hand. Don't have to change your grip hardly at all. This seems like it would make a good left handed gun. the thing's light as a feather. Anybody could carry it all day and forget they have it. But I don't see what it will do that the J-Frame with laser grips doesn't do as well or better. I like my 649 better. CT's instinctive activation doesn't require any change of my grip with either hand. But the bodyguard is a cool little revolver.
