Campbell yesterday and fired 100 rds at stationary and pop-up silhouettes. This is a great little revolver. Small enough for pocket carry, is very accurate for a 1.9 inch barrel and is fun to shoot. Not too hard on the hand for a lightweight snubbie shooting standard load 158 Gr Wad Cutters. It was a sunny day, so I wasn't able to use the Laser, which I'm having trouble getting lined up with the barrel of the gun. S&W sent me a shipping label to send it back to them for fixing the problem. I've enclosed a pic of a 8" circle engaged at 10 yds, rapid fire. On the pop-up targets, I'd estimate about a 90% hit rate on targets varying from 5 - 30 yds. This was snap shooting, not slow aimed fire.

Nice looking gun. I looked at one Friday over at Guns and Ammo here in Memphis. They had just gotten one in and several people were looking at it. Doubtful it made it to the close of business without getting sold. Nice shooting, too.

Nice! The Bodyguard I saw at the store had the laser about 3 feet left of point of aim, so I wonder if the laser is a common issue. Keep us apprised of any new developments

WILCO on the new developments. Another nice feature of this revolver is that the Cylinder release latch is on the top of the receiver instead of on the left side as is standard for most revolvers. This makes it handy for left or right handers.

FedEx picked up the gun at my house last Monday ( 12th ) and brought it back to me this morning ( 20th ). That's damm fast service!!! They replaced the Laser. I fired 50 rds thru it today, but it was bright sunlight so I couldn't use the Laser. The weapon fits my hand perfectly and I can point shoot it better than any handgun I have ever fired. So far, I'm really impressed with it and with S&W's customer service. This is the first S&W I've owned
