I'll start by admitting I haven't shot the S&W Bodyguard .380, but I have a KelTec P3AT and the Sig 238. The KT is obviously much lighter and a little smaller, both of which are good things while you're in the "carry" mode. When the shooting starts, though, the little bit larger and little bit heavier Sig, which also has real sights, is WAY easier to shoot accurately. The Sig isn't perfect - you've got to be comfortable with a single action - but I'd say my "effective" range is triple with the Sig over the KT. These guns, and probably any .380, are mostly up-close items, but you never know what might happen. If the S&W is comparable to the KT is size and weight, then I'd suggest you try shooting one before you put any money on the table. I thought the KT was the cat's meow (and it's still small and light!) but since I got the Sig the KT stays at home, or sometimes I carry both (kinda gives me 2 BUGs and no "real" gun).
