My wife has a Bodyguard and it has had numerous FTF, FTE, and misfeeds. I personally can't stand the gun and think its junk. We have used numerous ammo brands with all the same results. Guess she got a bad one.
Does her BG do it when you shoot it?

What is a misfeed? You referring to a double feed?

Did you know S&W has a lifetime warranty?
Yes double feed. I thought maybe she was limpwrisitng it, so I thought I'd give it a try as well and was thoroughly disappointed when I had the same reoccurring issues. I realize they have a lifetime warranty, but it's just disheartening when my wife(new shooter) was excited to pick out her first gun(anniversary gift) and she is rewarded with constant issues. It's more disappointing when the gun is brand new and expectations are high especially with being a S&W.

While in the gun store I was crossing my fingers she would choose the P938 or P238, but she opted for the bodyguard. :banghead:

We own a KAHR, Colt, Ruger, Keltec, and a 2 Sigs and this is the first time we have encountered any sort of gun problems. :mad5
I have a BG that I use when I want to pocket carry or carry something smaller than my XDm9.

When my wife shoots it, somehow the way she holds it will sometimes press the mag release and drop the mag out (resluting in a FTF). We've tried adjusting her grip but she ends up back in her standard grip. I've also seen the same thing happen when another female friend of ours shot it. My daughter shoots it with no problem.

As others have mentioned, the trigger takes some getting used to.

My wife much prefers my XDm9 to anything else she's shot.

My two cents.
