I can tell you that my Bodyguard .38 is definitely *NOT* a target pistol and it's also not the most pleasant to shoot (due to it's light weight). It's an up close "belly gun" as an ex-undercover cop buddy of mine puts it. But after spending some time getting used to the gun I have absolute confidence both in it AND myself in a defensive situation. I've been carrying it everyday since acquisition.
Here's my experience/review of the gun, BTW this is my *first* snubnose. I've spent a fair amount of time shooting my Dad's S&W 6" .357 Magnum and that's an all-day long on-target all the time gun (well, it could use some better grips, still has the original wood grips).

I definitely can understand why you sold it, if you're not comfortable with a gun then I feel that it's best to move on.
BTW - I would like to add a Ruger LCP to my stable, someday. It's definitely priced right. I'd even like to add the Bodyguard .380 too! I saw another forum where a poster bought the set of Bodyguards, nice looking pair!
