i think the 380 looks cool and normally I'm not one for lasers but I like this one for some reason. plus the other half refuses to carry a gun chambered with out a safety..... i know i know and i have tried to tell her but its no use.... so this could just be the ticket for her. after i try it out of course

Any idea how wide is it, same as a Glock 19 ?

Not even close! Width is listed as .75", which puts it in the same league as the Kel-Tec P3AT.

Pricing, per Mas Ayoob's SHOT Show blog:

The Bodyguard .38 revolver will carry a suggested retail of $625, and the Bodyguard .380 auto will go $575.

Certainly seem to be going after the LCP/LCR type market. I wonder if they will release non-laser models down the road?

Dang!!! for that price I would rather have a Sig 238

The New S&W .380 auto reminds me of the new Taurus TCP more than the Ruger LCP.

not the best looking, but if they work then great. but for that price there are several other models i would go with first.

Already have a buyer lined up for my LCP. Looks like come May, it will be an all S&W stable in my house. I like it a lot! Hey Ruger look... it has sights. Reminds me of a mini M&P. I'm guessing with that MSRP we will be looking at a $400-$450 shelf price.

I have one. My wife bought it for me for Christmas. Not too bad. Feels great in the hand. The laser in not intrusive at all, so I like it.
