Yes, I have. I purchased mine a couple of weeks ago. It had just come in that day to the gun shop when I walked in. I took it to the range last weekend along with my Keltec P3AT and Sig. P238. To me it shoots and feels very similar to the Keltec. Although it has a thumb safety (which is extremely difficult to thumb on/off) it is double action so the trigger pull is long and much like the Keltec. Accuracy is about the same as well.
The Sig being single action is very sweet to shoot. The Sig trigger is a little tight, but breaks very cleanly making it very easy to shoot good groups with rapid shots, unlike the Keltec and Bodyguard.
Now if you slow down and slowly squeeze the trigger on both the Keltec and Bodyguard, you can actually get decent shot groups. But I have to really concentrate and focus on my trigger squeeze to get it right. Not so with the Sig. Man it shoots good.
Another feature that seems to be a great selling point with the bodyguard is the built in lasersight along with the low cost. It is a hard combination to beat. But, in my view, with the trigger pull like it is, the laser is pretty much useless. At the short distances or range for this little gun, it is my opinion and experience that you are better off simply point shooting. I did much, much better that way than trying to aim with the laser.
I think that the S&W Bodyguard has its place, and being made by S&W will sell a lot of units but knowing what I know now, I wouldn't waste my money on it again.
