Sir how do you change the battery in the laser? Thank you
what’s a good speed loader for this firearm?
The up top cylinder release is also interesting to see. A nice pocket carry M&P S&W 38 Special.
Can you consistently run +P ammo? Please would like to know looking everywhere for this answer
Haters of the slim grip miss the point that it’s for better concealment under clothing. I have the S&W 642 (which is a similar gun) with the CT grip and had a love/hate relationship with it; the larger grip was great for shooting at the range, and the laser helped get on target when I wanted to use it, but it was often a bear to carry concealed without it printing to everyone at Home Depot. I put on the smaller grip to help with concealment and lost real estate for my fingers, making shooting less easy. When I stopped carrying it for edc I put the CT grips back on it and it sits in my safe, but I do occasionally carry it in my jacket if it’s cold out.
This S&W Bodyguard can have its grips replaced by a number of aftermarket grips, some of which can better suit some shooters without giving up concealment. Nice review.
I have the one without the laser, I hated the grip, so I put a Houge grip on it.
Bought it for my wife. I carry it more than she does and love it.
What does M&P stand for?
I think you should check your trigger pull gauge.
I’ve owned Bodyguard 38 revolver with laser a year awesome accurate light gun…
I love the 38 badygar …

There’s a really good deal coming up at Bass Pro for this firearm, I’m heavily considering it for my first carry. Thanks for this review!
I have this in my pocket. It’s a great CCW. Perfect for summer when wearing shorts
Also what are the hex size/sizes for the laser?
10 or 11 pounds? Looks like that particular example will need a bit of a trigger job. For a DAO S&W, I’d expect 8 or 9 pounds.
The 5 chambers are located in the cylinder. I believe you meant to say run a solvent patch through the 5 chambers and also THE BARREL. Cant really run a patch through the cylinder.
Guess what guys I just got the best gun ever glock 19 from *expansion2 on wickr* thanks bro I’m happy for safety delivery..
Great review. Thanks
I’ve been looking for quality videos on this S&W Bodyguard, and this is it by a long shot! I’m sold… Used to have a Sig P938 WTP that I sold and been searching for a best all around cheaper revolver option
How do you bore sight laser.I have the insight laser out of box way off Thanks
For me this gun sucks
Can u take the laser off?
Any holster recommendations for this?
what is the model number or S&W item number
What work was done on the trigger to get it down to ~6 pounds and reliable? I didn’t see a spring kit for it at the normal places. Thanks.
Great review, thanks
What is the company model number of the laser?
My wife has one these she loves it fits her hands really good took us a good long while to find something until we saw this the second it touched her hand instant love paid cash and took it home she loves it
S&W specifically advises owners in the Safety & Instruction Manual "NOT" top use ultrasonic cleaners for the S&W BG .38. But, at 2:32 you suggest submersing the gun in an ultrasonic bath. Which is correct and why please? Thank you.
Love it. Conceal carry revolvers are objectively better than semi autos
Considering this revolver as my first gun and use it as a car gun. Don’t want nothing to fancy nor expensive. Live in TN so I have the freedom to carry in car with out needing permits
Been carrying a bodyguard for about 7yrs,got a shield 9,love them both.any way to clean up holster wear, thanks
My guess is those are not accurate at all. Esp compared to polymers. Anyone agree ?
1) What is the purpose of having a PULSE feature ?? 2) The Laser Button works like : 1st push = Laser Constant On , 2nd push = Pulse Laser and 3rd push = Off . I do not see this as proper for defensive / protection use , as after the laser is on , it takes Two pushes of button to turn laser off ( too much time to turn off imo ). I would much rather see ; 1st button push = On and 2nd button push = off
Great review sir, I saw this video prior to my purchase . My favorite part of the gun it’s small and fits perfectly on my small hands.
Got my gun this morning from expansion2 on wickr glock19 gen 5.fired this morning and it was fine…
I would just run 38 special
Too bad they don’t make it in 327 Federal I would buy one
I wanted to hate this gun and the trigger was great and loved the top latch release
I usually hate dao revolvers but I’d actual buy it and think it has a better action and lock up than the 642
