I purchased on of these on 8/20 and paid $369 at a local gun shop. I have put about 100 rounds through mine and have found it to be accurate enough for a BU/Get off Me gun.

I found the take down pin to be somewhat stiff and the safety to be ridiculously stiff. I don't carry with the safety on, but I do use the safety if I am handling the gun (i.e. putting in car safe or home safe).

I agree with you, I wouldn't have purchased the laser, but it is nice that it is included. Enjoy your new purchase!

Right about the takedown.... I sent it back (their dime) and don't know what they did, but was easier after it was returned. Also, though the laser was not a big deal to me, one thing it did help with was to add counter-weight under the barrel that lessened muzzle-flip.

Bodyguard does a couple of things the LCP does not. (1) Locks open on empty. (2) Has second strike ability should the round not go off due to hard primer or the like. Pull trigger a second time, and will go off 90% of time. I like the BG, having traded up to it from the P3AT, LCP, TCP, then BG. Sold the BG only because wife like P238 better and I'm big on saying partners should have matching guns if possible.

STRONG SUGGESTION:
I pocket carried it in the Desantis pocket holster most of the time, and had it in an external holster when I wore a sportcoat, suit, vest, etc. When I had my recent incident and actually needed to pull it from my pocket, I realize how much slower it was to get it out of my pocket. I have now gone purely to holster carry. It is not difficult at all, just a polo shirt over it hides it fine. When the environment requires a tucked in shirt, then a sport coat isn't out of place.
